INTRODUCTION. 


A  desire  to  trace  a  lineage  and  to  perpetuate  its  remembrance,  seems  to  have  been 
so  prevalent  among  enlightened  and  semi-civilized  people,  and  even  among  barbarians, 
of  all  ages,  even  the  remotest  to  which  either  history  or  tradition  extends,  that  it 
may  be  regarded  as  an  instinct  of  human  nature — an  innate  principle,  implanted  for 
wise  and  benevolent  purposes.  If  so,  ought  it  not  to  be  cherished  by  the  wise  and 
the  good  ? 

It  cannot  be  doubted  that  the  practice,  founded  on  a  kindred  principle,  lately 
adopted  by  some  of  our  collegiate  institutions,  of  watching  and  noting  the  course  of 
the  lives  of  their  sons,  and  placing  the  prominent  points  of  their  history  on  record, 
will  be  beneficent  to  those  institutions,  and  exercise  a  salutary  influence  upon  those 
whose  names  may  be  enrolled  in  their  archives.  It  will  produce  a  more  lively  mutual 
interest  between  the  alma  mater  and  her  sons,  and  it  may  awaken  in  the  latter  a 
stronger  desire  that  their  names  in  the  record  be  not  followed  by  a  blank  or  a  blot. 
Genealogies,  besides  gratifying  a  natural  and  enlightened  curiosity,  may  exercise 
a  similar  salutary  influence,  tending  to  maintain  in  their  social  position,  families 
already  elevated,  and  to  elevate  the  lowly. 

When  persons  affect  an  utter  indifference  to  their  lineage,  or  a  history  of  the  past 
generations  of  their  families,  and  deride  any  attention  to  them  as  a  foolish  weakness 
and  vanity,  they  are  contravening  an  innate  principle,  and  it  may  be  generally 
suspected  that  they  have  some  knowledge  of  a  lineage,  which  they  would  consign  to 
oblivion,  because  it  is  untitled,  and  without  a  good  renown.  Some  such  persons 
build  costly  ostentatious  monuments  to  procure  present  distinction,  and  a  lasting 
memorial  for  themselves,  while  they  never  inquire  for  the  burial-place  of  their  an- 
cestors, and  leave  their  graves  to  utter  and  most  disrespectful  neglect.  Let  the 
visitor,  who  has  been  admiring  the  costly,  tasteful  memorials  in  Mount  Auburn 
Cemetery,  extend  his  excursion  half  a  mile  farther,  and  he  may  find  graves  decayed, 
and  ancient  gravestones  sunken  or  dilapidated,  and  overgrown  with  weeds  and 
brambles,  where  were  buried  the  Puritan  ancestors  of  some  of  the  builders  of  those 
admired  monuments.  It  would  be  incongruous,  and  badly  harmonize  with  the  habits 
aifl  principles  of  those  early  Puritan  immigrants,  to  erect  costly  ornamental  monu- 
ments over  their  remains;  but  it  would  be  consistent  with  good  taste,  and  a  just 
regard  for  the  first  planters  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  for  some  Old  Mortality  to  divest 
those  graves  of  their  unseemly  covering,  and  remould  them  ;  to  reset  or  replace  the 
sunken  and  dilapidated  gravestones,  and  recut  the  simple  inscriptions,  which  time 
has  nearly  obliterated. 

Some  persons  become  so  engrossed  with  sordid  interests  and  the  indulgence 
of  the  animal  instincts,  so  insensible  to  the  ties  of  consanguinity,  and  the  happi- 
ness derived  from  the  cultivation  of  the  domestic  affections,  that  in  them  this 
innate  principle  is  not  merely  dormant,  but  so  dead  that  it  would  require  a  miracle 
to  revive  it.  They  will  not  make  the  smallest  sacrifice,  nor  forego  a  trifling  indul- 
gence out  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  an  ancestor.     They  would  exchange  an  old 


IV  INTRODUCTION. 

family  portrait  for  that  of  a  danseuse,  or  of  a  popular  partisan,  and  part  with  the  old 
family  Bible  for  the  flashy  outside  of  a  soulless  annual,  or  perhaps  for  a  dollar,  if  it 
eould  be  invested  at  a  good  percentage. 

In  most  persons,  however,  this  principle — the  affinity  of  consanguinity — does  not 
lack  vitality;  it  only  acts  in  a  narrow  sphere,  or  slumbers  for  want  of  incitements  to 
awaken  it,  or  the  means  and  opportunities  to  manifest  it.  They  will  listen  with 
eager  attention  and  gratification  to  records  and  traditions  relating  to  their  ancestors, 
and  their  interest  will  increase  with  the  enlargement  of  their  information.  To  many 
such  persons,  it  is  hoped,  that  this  work  will  be  an  acceptable  offering  and  service, 
doing  for  them  what  it  is  not  in  their  power  so  fully  to  accomplish.  They  are  in- 
debted for  it  chiefly  to  that  ill  health  which  has  enforced  a  diminished  devotion  to  a 
laborious  profession,  which  was  pursued  for  many  years  with  affection  and  assiduity. 
Its  prosecution  has  afforded  the  author  a  very  interesting  occupation  to  many  other- 
wise unoccupied  hours.  This  statement  will  be  appreciated  only  by  those  who  have 
been  engaged  in  similar  pursuits. 

Some  persons  will  prosecute  a  genealogy  so  far  as  there  is  some  honor  or  distinc- 
tion accruing  from  it,  so  far  as  it  will  aid  in  a  family  glorification;  but  if  any  branch 
of  it  has  declined  into  humble  or  obscure  life,  it  is  lopped  off,  unrecognized,  and  they 
would  verify  the  Italian  proverb,  that  "  Poor  folks  have  neither  any  kindred  or 
friends."  To  such  persons  it  may  be  distasteful  that  we  have  not  acted  on  this 
principle,  as  neither  families  nor  individuals  have  been  omitted  on  account  of  their 
humble  position.  In  this  country,  where  the  laws  of  primogeniture  and  of  entail- 
ment are  not  recognized,  and  family  training  is  so  often  defective  and  erroneous; 
where  the  vicissitudes  of  family  rank  and  fortune  are  so  great  and  so  constantly  oc- 
curring, it  would  not  be  strange  if  some  descendants  of  those  humble  families  should 
be  found,  at  no  very  remote  period,  occupying  high  social  positions,  and  that  the 
wheel,  whose  revolution  had  brought  them  to  the  zenith,  had  carried  the  supercilious 
family  to  the  nadir.  Illustrations  of  this  are  abundant  everywhere.  So  far  as  ability 
and  opportunity  have  permitted,  our  researches  have  been  prosecuted,  and  the  results 
presented,  with  something  of  that  minuteness  and  fidelity,  which  characterize  the 
earnest  students  of  natural  science. 

Although  the  leading  object  has  been  the  genealogies  of  the  very  early  settlers,  it 
will  be  found  that  the  work  is  not  confined  to  them  exclusively,  nor  to  the  residents 
of  Watertown;  but  that  it  includes  such  notices  of  later  settlers  and  of  transient  resi- 
dents as  are  to  be  found  in  the  records.  The  families  of  some  of  the  later  settlers 
became  numerous,  and  they  have  filled  a  large  space  in  our  pages  and  in  the  interests 
of  the  town.  There  are  also  included  brief  or  partial  genealogies  of  some  families  in 
the  neighboring  towns,  that  have  been  intimately  allied  to  Y/atertown  families. 
This  will  enable  very  many  persons  to  trace  back  their  lineage  much  farther,  and 
more  satisfactorily,  than  they  could  have  done  without  them. 

The  names  of  numerous  persons  are  embraced  in  the  following  genealogies,  of 
whom  it  would  be  easy  to  collect  the  materials  for  copious  biographies,  and  who  well 
deserve  them.  Of  many  of  them,  indeed,  they  are  already  written,  and  we  hme 
sometimes  been  strongly  inclined  to  overstep  our  prescribed  limits,  and  to  use  the 
materials  at  hand  for  a  more  full  biographical  delineation.  But  it  is  obvious  that 
this  would  not  comport  with  the  plan  and  scope  of  the  work.  In  the  few  instances, 
where  we  may  seem  to  have  transcended  our  limits,  the  cases  were  extraordinary,  and 
are  exceptions. 

There  appeared  to  be  an  obvious  propriety,  not  to  say  necessity,  that  the  Family 
Memorials  should  be  preceded  by  a  history  of  the  town.  But  it  seemed  presump- 
tuous for  the  author  to  undertake  it,  under  all  his  disadvantages,  after  it  had  been 
written  by  a  gentleman  so  able  and  accomplished  as  the  Rev.  Dr.  Francis,  and  at  the 
time  he  resided  there.  His  History  of  Watertown  did  not,  however,  seem  to  be 
sufficiently  full  and  precise  upon  some  points  to  answer  our  purpose,  and  we  have 
been  very  solicitous  that  he  should  supply  those  deficiencies,  and  allow  it  to  be  in- 


INTRODUCTION.  V 

serted  as  an  introduction  to  the  genealogies.  Not  being  successful  in  this,  nor  in 
prevailing  upon  another  friend  to  undertake  it,  who  is  very  competent  to  accomplish 
it  in  the  best  manner,  we  have  reluctantly  been  compelled  to  compose  an  historical 
memoir,  which  will  be  found  in  the  Appendix.  It  is  devoted  almost  exclusively  to 
the  early  times,  and  it  claims  to  be  little  more  than  an  introduction  to  a  history  of 
the  town.  All  that  can  be  hoped  for  it  is,  that  its  simple  statements  of  dry  details 
may  furnish  some  entertainment  to  the  few  persons  who  are  interested  in  such 
archaeological  researches.  We  cannot  advise  others  to  turn  their  attention  to  it  with 
the  expectation  that  they  will  be  entertained  and  instructed;  and  with  them  we  may 
incur  the  imputation  of  being  tediously  minute  upon  very  trifling  and  unimportant 
matters. 

No  one  can  be  more  sensible  than  the  author  is  of  the  deficiencies  of  the  work — 
of  the  great  improvement  of  which  it  is  susceptible,  by  a  full  revision  and  re-arrange- 
ineut.  It  has  grown  from  a  very  small  beginning  to  its  present  magnitude  by  innu- 
merable increments,  sometimes  so  added,  and  of  such  extent,  as  to  give  certain  parts 
a  misshapen  overgrowth,  they  having  been  inserted  after  the  general  arrangement  of 
the  particular  genealogy  was  made,  and  could  not  be  conveniently  altered. 

The  first  part  of  the  work  was  put  to  press  three  years  ago,  when  the  writer  had 
not  the  prospect  of  being  able  to  prosecute  it  any  farther,  when  he  was  not  able  to 
digest  and  arrange  all  the  materials  in  his  possession,  and  when  the  field  of  research 
was,  as  it  still  is,  very  far  from  being  exhausted.  Yet  it  then  seemed  advisable  to 
the  writer,  and  to  the  friends  whom  he  consulted,  to  print  it,  such  as  it  then  was, 
leaving  additions  and  corrections  to  be  made  by  others,  rather  than  to  leave  such  a 
mass  of  materials  to  be  lost,  or  left  to  the  care  of  those  who  might  not  appreciate  or 
understand  them.  Some  of  the  genealogies  had  an  especial  need  of  re-arrangement, 
particularly  those  of  the  Stearns  families,  which  are  the  most  copious  of  any  in  the 
work.  But  they  had  become  so  interwoven  with  others  by  such  very  numerous 
references,  that  the  labor  of  it  seemed  then  to  be  altogether  beyond  the  writer's 
ability. 

In  a  work  entering  into  such  copious  and  minute  details,  containing  such  an  exten- 
sive and  complicated  network  of  references,  and  made  up  of  materials  derived  from 
such  a  variety  of  sources,  not  always  reliable  for  accuracy,  it  cannot  be  expected  that 
every  point  has  been  ascertained  to  a  demonstration.  It  is  likely  that  further  re- 
search will  discover  many  errors  and  deficiencies;  and  the  author  will  be  thankful  to 
those  who  will  transmit  to  him  such  as  may  be  discovered.  Should  this  invitation 
meet  with  a  ready  response,  the  result  may  hereafter  be  laid  before  the  public  in  a 
supplement,  or  some  other  form. 

It  would  be  most  agreeable  and  congenial  to  the  author's  feelings  to  make  full  and 
special  acknowledgments  for  all  the  aid  he  has  received.  It  has  come  from  sources 
almost  innumerable, — so  numerous  that  it  would  be  nearly  impossible  to  enter  into 
full  details.  The  reader  will  find  many  such  acknowledgments  in  the  course  of  the 
work.  But  there  are  other  instances  where  very  valuable  aid  and  co-operation  have 
been  rendered  by  persons  whom  we  would  gladly  designate,  but  whose  modesty 
shrinks  from  the  little  publicity  it  would  be  in  our  power  to  give  them.  From  some 
of  those  authors,  mentioned  in  Appendix  II.,  we  have  received  valuable  aid  iu  addi- 
tion to  what  has  been  derived  from  their  published  works,  particularly  A.  H.  Ward 
and  Francis  Jackson,  Esq'rs.  For  information  respecting  the  numerous  Lunenburg 
families,  whose  lineage  is  traced  to  Watertown,  we  are  indebted  to  John  R.  Rollins, 
Esq.,  for  the  loan  of  his  digested  transcript  of  the  town  records.  For  most  of  the 
materials  for  the  genealogy  of  the  Bellows  family  (p.  532),  we  are  indebted  to  the 
fair  hand  of  one,  who  wishes  her  name  to  remain  sub  umbra.  This  case  is  not 
singular,  for  we  could  refer  to  many  like  it. 

It  is  stated,  p.  916,  that  there  is,  in  the  family  of  the  late  Hon.  Leverett  Salton- 
stall,  of  Salem,  a  very  valuable  portrait  of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  the  chief  founder 
of  Watertown.     Through  the  kindness  of  Leverett  Saltonstall,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  we 


vi  INTRODUCTION. 

have  the  happiness  to  illustrate  this  work  with  the  portrait  of  that  truly  good  and 
great  man.  We  appreciate  this  privilege  the  more  highly,  as  it  is  not  known  that 
his  likeness  was  ever  before  published.  The  English  pedigree  of  Sir  Richard  may 
be  seen  in  Clutterbuck's  History  of  Hertfordshire,  fob,  Vol.  III.  pp.  862-3.  But 
we  have  received  it,  revised  and  extended  by  Mr.  L.  Saltonstall,  of  Boston,  and 
Mr.  George  D.  Phippen,  of  Salem.  To  the  same  gentlemen  we  are  indebted  for  a 
large  part  of  the  materials  for  the  genealogy  of  Sir  Richard's  descendants.  Much  of 
our  information  has,  however,  been  derived  from  other  sources,  among  which  may 
be  mentioned  the  Historical  Sketch  of  Haverhill,  with  Biographical  Notices,  by  Hon. 
Leverett  Saltonstall.  The  materials  for  the  brief  biographical  notices  of  Sir  Richard 
and  his  children,  have,  however,  been  gleaned  by  the  author  from  various  other 
sources.  Most  of  the  information  respecting  Gov.  Gurdon  Saltonstall  and  his  de- 
scendants was  received  from  a  very  accomplished  and  obliging  correspondent,  who 
desires  us  to  make  no  public  acknowledgment.  The  aid  received  from  Mr.  L. 
Saltonstall  is  the  more  highly  appreciated  as  he  has  commenced  an  extensive  and 
thorough  search  for  materials  for  a  history  of  the  Saltonstall  family.  For  the 
copious  materials  for  a  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  Mr.  Samuel  Phillips  [38],  of 
Salem,  we  are  chiefly  indebted  to  a  gentleman  greatly  respected  for  his  talents  and 
learning,  and  beloved  for  his  private  virtues. 

.EST'  A  list  of  the  works  and  authors  referred  to,  or  consulted,  in  the  prosecu- 
tion of  this  work,  is  inserted  in  Appendix  II.,  with  an  explanation  of  some  abbre- 
viated titles. 


EXPLANATIONS. 

The  arrangement  of  each  genealogy,  at  first  adopted  many  years  ago,  corresponded 
very  nearly  with  that  of  the  Minot  family,  published  in  the  first  volume  of  the 
Genealogical  Register.  But  the  accumulation  of  materials  was  becoming  so  great, 
that  it  was  necessary  to  compress  them  as  much  as  perspicuity  and  fulness  of  details 
would  admit.  It  was  also  necessary,  in  a  work  including  so  many  genealogies,  and 
where  the  references  are  so  numerous  and  constantly  occurring,  to  adopt  the  most 
convenient  plan  of  referring  from  one  genealogy  or  family  to  another.  It  seemed 
desirable  also,  as  far  as  it  could  be  done  conveniently,  to  arrange  two  or  more 
generations  of  a  family  synoptically,  so  that  their  relationship  might  be  more 
readily  seen  than  they  can  be  when  all  the  branches  are  arranged  into  distinct 
families,  and  widely  distributed  in  different  and  remote  pages.  This  part  of  the  plan 
seems  to  possess  the  advantages  of  condensation  and  perspicuity. 

The  genealogies  are  arranged  alphabetically,  as  may  be  seen  in  the  running  titles 
at  the  top  of  each  page.  Where  the  materials  of  a  genealogy  are  sufficiently  copious 
to  be  arranged  in  a  tabular  form,  ordinal  numbers  are  placed  in  the  left  margin  of 
the  page,  next  to  the  perpendicular  line,  beginning  with  1,  opposite  to  the  first  name 
in  the  genealogy,  and  continuing  the  numbers  to  the  end  of  it.  In  several  instances 
a  cross  (f)  will  be  found  affixed  to  an  ordinal  number.  This  indicates  a  duplicate 
number,  and  that  it  has  been  introduced  interstitially,  subsequently  to  the  arrange- 
ment of  the  table. 

Where  another  number  occurs  in  the  margin,  opposite  to  the  ordinal  number,  it 
refers  the  reader  to  that  ordinal  number  in  the  same  genealogy,  where  other  infor- 
mation may  be  found.  If  it  be  less  than  the  opposite  ordinal  number,  it  will  refer 
back  to  the  individual's  parentage ;  if  it  be  larjjer,  it  will  refer  forward  to  his  or  her 
marriage  and  distinct  family. 

In  many  instances,  it  will  be  seen  that  several  names  come  under,  or  belong  to, 


INTRODUCTION.  Vll 

one  ordinal  number,  as  those  of  a  father  and  his  children,  and  sometimes  his  grand- 
children. When  one  of  these  children  or  grandchildren  is  referred  to  in  another 
part  of  the  work,  two  or  three  numbers  will  be  included  in  the  brackets,  thus 
n  46-4— 2].  The  first  is  the  ordinal  number  in  the  place  referred  to;  the  2d  number 
[4.],  denotes  the  fourth  child  of  [146]  ;  and  the  3d  number  [2.],  indicates  the  second 
child  of  [4.]. 

In  some  instances,  as  in  the  Stearns  families,  where  very  numerous  names  come 
under  one  ordinal  number,  italic  letters  have  been  inserted  between  it  and  the  next 
ordinal  number  for  the  convenience  of  reference.  Where  this  is  the  case,  and  one  of 
the  names  is  referred  to  in  another  part  of  the  work,  a  number,  a  letter,  and  a  num- 
ber, are  included  in  brackets,  thus,  [58-</-3].  Here  [58.]  is  the  ordinal  number;  [d.~] 
indicates  one  of  the  children  or  grandchildren  of  [58.];  and  [3.]  indicates  the  third 
child  of  [d.]. 

In  the  genealogy  of  Isaac  Stearns,  the  first  four  generations  are  arranged  distinctly 
from  the  fifth  and  from  each  other;  and  in  each  of  them  the  ordinal  numbers  begin 
and  terminate  with  that  generation.  When,  therefore,  there  is  a  reference  to  any 
name  in  this  genealogy,  Roman  letters  are  included  in  the  brackets,  thus  [I.  Stearns 
36,  IV.],  showing  that  the  ordinal  number  [36.]  is  to  be  sought  in  the  fourth 
generation. 

By  a  re-arrangement  of  some  of  the  genealogies,  as  before  referred  to,  all  this  in- 
convenient and  unnecessary  complexity  might  be,  and  ought  to  be  avoided.  The 
genealogies  thus  defective  are  among  those  first  compiled,  and  to  them  only  are  most 
of  these  explanations  applicable  and  necessary. 

The  heads  (parents)  of  a  distinct  family  are  printed  in  ROMAN  CAPITALS,  and 
the  prefixed  Roman  capitals  in  a  parenthesis  denote  his  or  her  generation ;  whether  it 
be  the  2d,  3d,  or  more  remote  generation  from  the  first  in  that  genealogy.  Below  a 
line,  immediately  succeeding,  are  the  names  of  their  children  in  small  capitals. 
Where  a  family,  or  any  part  of  it,  is  arranged  synojjtically,  as  before  mentioned,  the 
grandchildren  are  printed  in  italics,  and  removed  a  small  space  [2  ems]  to  the  right. 
Great-grandchildren  are  removed  still  farther  [4  ems]  to  the  right,  and  are  printed 
in  small  Roman  letters. 

When  a  number  in  brackets  [  ]  immediately  follows  a  name,  find  that  name  in 
the  top  of  the  page  (among  the  running  titles),  and  the  number  among  the  ordinal 
numbers  belonging  to  that  name. 

This  mark  (?)  (interrogation  point  in  a  parenthesis),  denotes  that  what  imme- 
diately follows  it  is  not  clearly  ascertained, — that  it  is  questionable  or  conjectural, 
and  requires  further  research  in  order  to  its  determination. 

In  England  and  her  colonies,  the  Julian  Calendar  was  retained  until  1752,  when 
the  Gregorian  Calendar,  or  New  Style,  was  adopted  by  an  Act  of  Parliament.  As 
an  account  of  these  Calendars,  and  the  reason  for  the  change  of  the  one  for  the  other, 
may  be  found  in  various  works,  we  omit  an  explanation  of  them.  That  which  seems 
to  be  the  most  condensed  and  lucid,  and  probably  accessible  to  most  inquirers,  is  the 
article  Calendar  in  Brande's  Dictionary  of  Science,  Literature,  and  Art.  We  have 
inserted  dates  as  they  are  found  in  the  ancient  records,  without  altering  them  so  as 
to  correspond  with  the  New  Style.  The  Roman  names  of  the  months  have  (except 
in  a  very  few  instances)  been  adopted,  instead  of  the  numerals,  which  were  generally 
used  by  the  Puritans. 

In  order  to  make  the  dates  previous  to  1752  correspond,  in  the  solar  year,  within 
the  New  Style,  it  is  necessary  to  add  11  to  dates  of  days  between  1600  and  1700, 
and  12  to  the  dates  between  1700  and  1752.  Thus,  the  Arbella  arrived  at  Salem, 
June  12th,  1630,  O.  S.,  which  (adding  11)  would  be  June  23,  N.  S.  Water- 
town  Church  was  organized,  July  28,  1030,  O.  S.,  which  would  be  August  8th, 
N.  S.  Weston  was  incorporated  Jan.  1,  1712,  0.  S.,  which  (adding  12)  would  be 
Jan.  13,  N.  S. 

According  to  the  Julian  Calendar,  or  Old  Style,  the  year  began  March  25th,  and 


Vlii  INTRODUCTION. 

the  same  clays,  between  Jan.  1  and  March  25th,  belonged  to  different  years  in  the 
Old  and  New  Styles.  This  occasioned  double  dating,  which  will  be  found  in  the 
following  pages,  thus:  Jan.  8,  1675-6,  or  167f,  indicates  the  year  1675,  0.  S.,  or 
1676,  N.  S.  By  recurring  to  §  57,  p.  1000,  it  will  be  seen  that,  in  the  records  of 
Watertown,  previous  to  1618,  the  year  was  considered  as  beginning  on  the  1st  of 
March,  but  not  after  that  date. 

We  have  aimed  at  exactness  in  dates ;  but,  to  our  regret,  some  mistakes  are  dis- 
covered, which  are  attributable  to  typographical  errors,  to  oversight  in  repeated 
transcriptions,  or  to  the  difficulty  in  some  instances  of  deciphering  a  bad  chirography.

BENJAMIN. 

JOHN  BENJAMIN  arrived  in  the  ship  Lion,  Sept.  16,  1632 ;  was  adm.  freeman  Nov. 
6,  1632;  was  a  proprietor  of  Camb.,  and  perhaps  he  first  settled  there.  If  so,  it  was 
only  for  a  short  time,  as  his  house,  with  goods  to  the  amount  of  £100,  was  burnt  in 
Wat.  Ap.7,  1636.  [Winthrop.  I.  185.]  Gov.  Winthrop  designates  him  as  "Mr.  Ben- 
jamin," and  in  1642  he  had  the  largest  homestall  in  Wat.  He  d.  June  14,  1645,  and 
inventory  (£297,  3,  2),  was  made  by  Simon  Stone,  John  Eddie,  and  Thomas  Mar- 
ret.  His  will,  dated  June  12,  1645,  two  days  before  his  death,  mentions  beloved 
wife,  not  named,  eldest  son  John,  and  7  other  chil.  not  named,  some  of  whom 
were  ':  small."  [See  Gen.  Reg.,  III.  176.]  He  appointed  :'my  brother  John 
Eddie,  of  Wat.,"  and  Thomas  Marret,  of  Camb.,  executors.  His  wid.,  ABIGAIL, 
went  with  her  son-in-law,  Joshua  Stubbs,  to  Charlestown  about  1654,  where  she  d. 
May  20,  1687,  aged  87.  Probably  she  did  not  live  continuously  in  Charlestown. 
Mar.  28,  1670,  Abigail  Benjamin,  spinster  of  Wat.,  for  £12,  sold  to  John  Welling- 
ton, of  Wat.,  three  parcels  of  land  in  Camb.  [As  a  Richard  Benjamin  came  over 
with  John  in  1632,  and  was  proprietor  of  Wat.  in  1642,  he  may  have  been  a 
brother,  instead  of  a  son,  of  John,  Senr.     His  age  at  his  embarkation  is  not  given. J 

2  |  1.  Mary.     She  d.  Ap.  10,  1646.     Her  will,  proved  June  4,  1646  [See  Geneal.  Reg. 


BENJAMIN. 


27 


III.  178],  mentions  Pastor  Knolls,  her  aunt  Wines,  sister  Abigail  Stubbs,  cousin 
Anne  Wyes,  and  brothers,  not  named.  [This  Will  renders  it  very  probable  that 
her  father  left  only  two  daughters ;  that  the  wife  of  Barnabas  Wines  was  a  sister 
of  John  Benjamin,  sen.,  or  of  his  wife,  and  that  Anne  Wyes,  in  the  will,  should 
be  Wines.] 

Abigail,  m.,  about  1640  or  '41,  Joshua  Stubbs,  of  Wat.,  adm.  freeman  May  2, 
1649,  by  whom  she  had  at  least  three  chil.,  viz. : 

1.  Samuel,  b.  Aug.  3,  1642. 

2.  Mary,  m.,  Mar.  24,  1674-5,  John  Traine.     [Traine,  10.] 

3.  Elizabeth,  m.,  about  1674,  Jonathan  Stimson.  [Stimson,  1.]  Nov.  8,  1654, 
Joshua  Stubbs,  then  of  Charlestown,  and  wife  Abigail,  with  the  consent  of 
mother  Abigail  Benjamin,  sold  to  Joseph  Underwood,  for  £30,  their  home- 
stall  (a  house  and  12  acres),  and  several  other  parcels  of  land  in  Wat.  He 
d.  soon  after  this  date,  and  his  wid.  m.  John  Woodward.     [Woodward,  14.] 

John,  d.  in  Wat.,  Dec.  22,  1706,  aged  86. 

Richard,  proprietor  of  Wat.,  1642,  by  wife  Anna,  had  1.  Anna,  b.  in  Wat.,  Sept. 
1643.  He  settled  on  Long  Island,  and  was  adm.  freeman  of  Connecticut,  1664. 
It  is  questionable  whether  this  was  a  son  of  the  first  John. 
Joshua,  of  Charlestown,  d.  1684,  s.  p.  leaving  wid.  Thankful. 
Samuel,  b.  1628,  took  oath  of  fidelity  1652;  by  wife  Mary,  had  dr.  Mary,  b.  in 
Wat.,  May  12,  1666.  Oct.  28,  1667,  he  and  wife  Mary  sold  to  Daniel  Medup 
three  lots  of  land.  1st.  120  acres  adjoining  lands  of  his  mother;  2d.  6  acres  in 
Little  Nonesuch  Meadow;  3d.  Farm  lands  elsewhere  surrounding.  In  the  same 
month,  Oct.  19,  1667,  he  sold  to  his  mother,  Abigail,  for  £35,  10  acres  with  the 
mansion  house,  &c.  He  moved  to  Hoccanum,  in  Hartford,  Conn.,  and  d.  1669, 
leaving  wife  Mary  exec'r,  brother  Caleb  overseer,  and  sons  Samuel  and  John, 
and  drs.  Mary  and  Abigail.     [See  Hinman,  p.  114-15.] 

Caleb,  settled  in  Wethersfield,  Conn.,  adm.  freeman  of  Conn.,  1669;  d.  May  8, 
1684,  leaving  wife  Mary,  and  chil.  1.  Mary,  aged  13.  2.  Abigail,  aged  11. 
3.  Sarah,  aged  8.  4.  John,  aged  6.  5.  Samuel,  aged  5.  6.  Martha,  aged  3. 
Caleb  Benjamin,  who  d.  in  Wethersfield,  1709,  leaving  son  John  (Ex'r)  and  4 
drs.,  was  probably  an  elder  son.  [Hinman,  p.  114  and  198.] 
Abel,  of  Charlestown,  m.,  Nov.  6,  1671,  Amithy  Myrick.  His  will,  dated  July 
3,  1710,  mentions  wife  Amithy,  son  John,  and  gr.  son  John,  dr.  Mary,  dr.  Abi- 
gail, b.  Aug.  26,  1680,  and  brother  Joshua.

BISCOE  (BRISCOE). 
NATHANIEL,  the  progenitor  of  this  Watertown  family,  wrote  his  name  Briscoe, 
which  is,  undoubtedly,  the  true  orthography;  but  it  became  an  early  usage  in  the 
records  to  write  it  Biscoe  and  Bisco,  which  usage  has  continued  to  this  time. 
The  name,  Briscoe,  occurs  frequently  in  the  Boston  town  record  between  1642 
and  1686,  but  it  has  not  been  ascertained  what  affinity  there  was,  if  any,  between 
those  of  Boston  and  those  of  Watertown.  Arms  of  Brisco,  of  Co.  of  Cumberland, 
and  of  Sussex.  Ar.  three  greyhounds  courant  in  pale  sa.  Crest.  A  greyhound  cour-

(I.)  NATHANIEL  BISCOE,  "the  rich  tanner,"  was  in  Watertown  as  early  as 
1642,  and  probably  3  or  4  years  earlier.  In  that  year  he  wrote  and  circulated  pri- 
vately a  pamphlet  "  against  -the  way  of  supporting  ministers,"  that  gave  great 
offence,  and  for  which  he  was  fined  ten  pounds.  In  that  year,  his  barn,  with 
leather  and  corn,  amounting  to  £100,  was  destroyed  by  fire.  He  was  so  dissatis- 
fied with  the  prevalent  ecclesiastical  intolerance  that  he  returned  to  England  about 
the  end  of  1651,  or  early  the  next  year.  Oct.  2,  1651,  he  sold  to  John  Wincol  the 
46  acres  of  land,  which  he  purchased  of  the  town ;  deed  witnessed  by  Thomas 
Broughton,  Nathaniel  Biscoe,  Jr.,  and  Mary  Broughton.  He  wrote  a  letter,  dated 
London,  Sept.  7,  1652,  printed  in  Vol.  I.,  3d  series  of  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  which  fell 
into  the  hands  of  Government,  and  produced  some  excitement  at  the  time.  His 
wife,  ELIZABETH,  was  buried  in  Wat.,  Nov.  20,  1642.  In  that  letter  he  mentions 
his  uncle  Richard  Briscoe,  who  died  a  little  before  the  date  of  the  letter.  He  had 
four  children,  whom  he  left  in  Massachusetts.  [See  Winthrop's  Journal,  II.,  92 
and  3 ;  also  Francis's  History  of  Wat. ;  also  the  letter  above-mentioned.] 

1.  Nathaniel,  mentioned  in  his  father's  letter,  1652,  and  by  Gov.  Winthrop  as  "  a 
gentleman  born,"  was.  in  1639,  Usher  of  Nathaniel  Eaton,  "the  first  person 
who  had  charge  of  the  Institution,"  (Harv.  Coll.).  Concerning  the  barbarous  and 
tyrannical  conduct  of  Eaton,  and  his  fate,  see  Winthrop's  Journal,  I.,  308,  and 
Peirce's  History  of  the  College.     He  (N.  B.)  was  living  Sept.,  1652.

(then  a  merchant  of  Boston),  bought  of  Rev.  Henry  Dunster,  the  mills  (corn  and 
fulling)  on  Mistick  River,  on  Menotomy  land,  which  mills  said  T.  B.  had  built. 
He  also  bought  of  Parnell  and  Samuel  No  well,  of  Charlestown,  for  £85,  that 
farm  of  upland  and  meadow,  containing  300  A.,  which  the  town  had  granted 
to  their  father,  Mr.  Increase  Nowell,  bounded  S.  W.  by  Camb.  line,  N.  W.  by

BOND. 

On  referring  to  Doomsday-book,  it  will  be  found  that  numerous  estates  were  held  in  Eng- 
land by  families  of  the  name  of  BOND  in  the  time  of  Edward  the  Confessor,  and  through 
later  years  down  to  the  formation  of  the  survey  by  William  the  Conqueror.  They  held 
estates  in  the  Counties  of  Cornwall.  Dorset,  Essex,  Kent,  Hants,  Berks,  Bedford,  Suffolk, 
Gloucester,  Northampton,  and  York,  and  in  several  Counties  held  two  or  more  estates. 
Whether  these  were  held  by  a  few  wealthy  families,  or  by  as  many  families  as  there  were 
estates,  has  not  been  clearly  ascertained;  but  it  is  probable  that  the  families  were  nume- 
rous. The  most  distinguished  families  of  the  name  in  England,  for  the  last  three  or  four 
centuries,  trace  their  lineage  to  Earth  and  Holewood  in  the  County  of  Cornwall ;  and 
some  of  the  old  writers  of  Heraldry  speak  of  stirps  antiquissima  Bondorum  of  that  County. 

There  is  a  tradition — the  very  common  tradition — that  three  brothers  of  the  name  of 
Bond  first  came  to  this  country  a  little  previous  to  1650.  One  of  them,  THOMAS,  said  to 
have  been  a  physician,  settled  in  Virginia  or  Maryland.  Of  him  the  writer  knows  nothing. 
Perhaps  he  was  the  ancestor  of  that  distinguished  physician  and  surgeon,  Dr.  Thomas 
Bond,  of  Philadelphia,  the  leader  among  the  founders  of  Pennsylvania  Hospital,  who  was 
born  in  Maryland,  in  1712.  Another  of  the  three,  JOHN,  settled  in  Newbury,  Mass.,  and 
was  a  proprietor,  1642.  He  has  descendants  in  New  England,  New  York,  Pennsylvania, 
Ohio,  and  Michigan.  The  other,  WILLIAM,  said  to  have  been  educated  a  merchant, 
settled  in  Watertown,  Mass.;  and  from  him  are  descended  most  of  the  families  of  the  name 
of  Bond  in  New  England. 

The  results  of  the  recent  researches  of  Mr.  H.  G.  Somerley,  in  England,  tend  to  dis- 
credit this  tradition.  He  has  satisfactorily  ascertained  that  the  first  William  Bond  of 
Watertown,  was  a  son  of  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  Bond,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  Suffolk  Co., 
England,  and  that  he  was  baptized  there,  in  the  church  of  St.  James,  Sept.  8,  1625.  This 
William  had  brothers,  Thomas  and  John,  older  than  himself;  but  the  Will  of  their  father, 
Thomas,  renders  it  very  probable,  that  all  his  sons,  except  William,  settled  in  England. 
This  Thomas  Bond  (father  of  William),  was  the  youngest  son  of  Jonas  and  Rose  Bond, 
of  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  It  is  probable  that  this  Jonas  Bond  moved  into  Bury  St.  Edmunds 
after  the  birth  of  his  second  child,  as  his  eldest  two  children  were  not  baptized  there,  and 
he  may  have  moved  from  Hawley  or  Woolpit,  where,  according  to  his  Will,  he  owned 
houses.  He  was  buried  Aug.  5,  1601.  It  is  probable  that  the  maiden  name  of  his  wife 
was  Wood.   [See  Bond,  Appendix  I.]

named  John  living  at  the  same  time.  It  is  not  unusual  to  find  similar  cases,  and  in  almost  every  instance  the

appears  by  the  Will  of  Rev.  John  Sherman,  of  Wat.,  that  he  had  two  daughters  .Mary  living  at  the  same  time. 
ll  is  probable  that  he  had  one  Mary  by  each  wife.

Witnesses  :  George  Moody,  John  Cooke,  and  Samuel  Lancaster.     Proved  at  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  Nov.  11, 1681. 

Besides  the  families  and  descendants  of  William,  of  Wat.,  and  of  John,  of  Newbury, 
there  were  families  of  the  name  of  Bond  in  Boston  from  the  middle  to  the  end  of  the  17th 
century,  who  are  not  known  to  have  left  any  descendants.  There  was  a  Robert  Bond, 
who  was  an  early  settler  (1648),  of  East  Hampton,  L.  I.,  probably  afterwards  of  Connec- 
ticut. Perhaps  he  was  a  descendant  of  Robert  Bond,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  who  had  a  son 
Robert,  bap.  Jan.  30,  1572. 

There  are  numerous  families  of  Bonds  scattered  through  almost  every  State  in  the  Union. 
Some  of  them  trace  their  lineage  directly  to  emigrants  from  England,  while  the  lineage 
of  others  is  soon  lost  in  a  vague  tradition.  Of  the  latter  class  are  several  families  in  the 
City  and  County  of  Philadelphia,  and  in  the  adjoining  County  of  Chester,  who  say  that 
their  ancestors  first  settled  on  Long  Island  and  in  the  County  of  West  Chester,  N.  Y.  Other 
families  are  comparatively  new-comers  from  England  and  Ireland. 

For  some  account  of  the  Bonds,  in  England,  see  Burke's  Genealogical  Heraldic  History 
of  the  Commoners  of  England,  Vol.  I. 

It  has  not  been  satisfactorily  ascertained  what  coat  of  arms,  if  any,  the  Bonds  of  Bury 
St.  Edmunds,  or  of  Suffolk,  were  entitled  to  bear.  The  most  ancient  one  belonging  to  the 
name  Bond,  and  not  appropriated  to  any  one  family  or  locality,  is  very  simple,  viz. :  sable, 
a  fesse  or.  The  arms  of  the  very  ancient  family  of  Earth  and  Holewood,  Cornwall,  which 
have  been  borne  by  several  scattered  branches,  and  which  it  has  been  supposed  that  the 
Bonds  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds  were  entitled  to  bear,  are  the  following: — Arg.  on  a  chev.  sa.

His  first  marriage  is  the  earliest  mention  of  him  in  the  town  records.  There  is,  how- 
ever, a  deposition  on  the  files  of  the  county  court,  which  renders  it  very  probable,  that  he 
came  to  America  at  a  very  early  age,  in  1630,  with  Deacon  Ephraim  Child,  and  which 
greatly  strengthens  the  presumption  that  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Dea.  Child,  was  a  sister  of  his 
father.  She  had  lived  several  years  with  her  second  husband  without  having  children  : 
and  the  presumption  is,  that  when  she  was  about  to  embark  for  America,  her  brother, 
Thomas  Bond,  who  was  filling  his  own  house  with  sons,  gave  his  third  son,  William,  to 
his  sister  to  supply  a  void,  of  which  she  would  be  the  more  sensible  in  her  new  abode. 
[See  Dea.  E.  Child.]  The  following  is  the  deposition  :  "  William  Bond,  aged  about  55 
years,  Testifieth  yt  I  ye  deponent  lived  at  the  lower  end  of  Watertowne  next  Cambridge 
fiftee  years  agoe  [not  fifteen,  as  is  evident  from  the  context];  and  was  well  acquainted 
with  the  land  yt  belongs  to  widdow  Thatcher,  which  was  formerly  Deacon  Ephraim 
Childs,  and  alsoe  with  ye  lott  yt  was  old  goodman  Warrens;  which  joyned  to  said  Decon 
Childs,  between  which  two  lots  ye  way  now  in  controversie  is  contended  for;  and  I  ye 
deponent  cannot  remember  yt   ever  thare  any  allowed  way  thare,  but  ye  two  lotts  afore 

spoken  of  weare  Improved  closs   to  one  another  and  no   footway,  I  ever of;  or 

any  other  way  yt  was  ever  granted  by  ye  town.     Sworn  20,  10,  1681." 

He  purchased  a  farm,  originally  settled  by  Capt  William  Jennison,  who  sold  it  to  Rev. 
John  Knowles.  After  the  return  of  Mr.  Knowles  to  England,  and  while  he  resided  at 
Bristol,  he  executed  a  deed,  dated  Mar.  15,  1654-5,  conveying  his  estate  in  Wat.,  for  the 
sum  of  £200,  to  William  Bond,  in  the  possession  of  whose  descendants  it  remained  more 
than  170  years.  It  is  now  owned  by  John  P.  Cushing,  Esq.,  of  Wat.,  whose  taste  and 
princely  liberality  have  made  it  one  of  the  most  elegant  residences  in  New  England. 

He  received,  at  different  times,  numerous  offices  and  appointments  of  trust.  He  was 
often  employed  in  taking  Inventories,  writing  Wills  and  Deeds,  and  settling  estates.  He 
was  Selectman,  Town  Clerk,  a  Captain,*  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  a  member  of  the  Coun- 
cil of  Safety  in  1689;  often  represented  Watertown,  and  was  elected  Speaker  of  the 
General  Court  in  1691.  '92,  '93,  and  '95,  being  the  first  speaker  elected  under  the  new 
Royal  Charter,  which  united  the  colonies  of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  Bay  into  one 
colony.  He  was  admitted  freeman.  Oct.  11,  1682,  and  to  the  church,  f.  c.  Mar.  27,  1687. 
Oct.  7,  1679,  he  was  appointed  by  the  County  Court,  according  to  a  law  then  in  force,  on 
a  committee,  consisting  of  Capt.  Thomas  Prentice,  Mr.  William  Bond,  and  Dea.  John 
Stone,  to  rebuild  Lancaster,  which  had  been  destroyed  by  Indians.  [See  Willard's  History 
of  Lancaster,  Worcester  Mag.  II.,  294.]  June  10,  1686,  he  was  appointed  by  the  Presi- 
dent and  Council  of  Mass.,  on  a  committee,  with  general  powers  to  order  and  regulate  all 
matters  concerning  the  settlement  of  Worcester.     [Lincoln's  History  of  Worcester,  p.  33.]

(II.)  DEA.  WILLIAM  BOND,  m.,  June  2,  1680,  HEPZIBAH  HASTINGS,  only 
dr.  of  Dea.  Thomas  and  Margaret  (Cheney)  Hastings.  [Hastings,  8.] 

*  In  1676,  he  was,  says  Mr.  Fell,  a  lieut.  of  a  company  of  horse.  As  he  was,  about  this  period,  repeatedly 
appointed  on  the  same  commission,  with  Capt.  Thomas  Prentice,  of  Newton,  on  distant  duty,  perhaps  he  was 
Lieut,  under  that  distinguished  commander  of  horse.  In  1692,  those  parts  of  Watertown,  which  subsequently 
became  the  towns  of  Watertown,  Waltham,  and  Weston,  were  designated  as  the  precincts  of  Capt.  Bond's  Com- 
pany, of  Captain  Garfield's  Company,  and  Lieut.  Jones's  Company.

He  held  a  Justice's  commission  more  than  24  years,  and  was  sometimes  called 
'•'the  marrying  Squire,"  on  account  of  the  great  frequency  of  his  officiating  at 
weddings  during  the  long  time  he  held  office.  He  represented  the  town  many 
times  in  the  General  Court,  and  was  often  intrusted  with  its  most  important 
municipal  business.  He  belonged  to  the  military  force  sent  into  Canada  in  1690, 
under  Sir  Wm.  Phipps.  On  the  19th  June,  1721,  Jonas  Bond,  Esq.,  of  Watertown. 
Francis  Fulham,  Esq.,  of  Weston,  and  Francis  Bowman,  Esq.,  of  Lexington,  were 
commissioned  by  the  Governor  and  Council  "to  be  Commissioners  of  Sewers," 
and  the  immediate  object  of  their  appointment  was  "the  cleansing  and  removing 
all  such  banks  and  other  obstructions  in  the  aforesaid  river  (Sudbury  and  Concord) 
which  do  occasion  the  overflowing  thereof,  and  of  drowning  the  meadows  and 
other  lowlands  adjoining  or  lying  on  said  river;  and  to  employ  workmen  and 
labourers  to  effect  the  same."  The  extent  of  the  work  was  "'from  the  mill-pond 
of  Christopher  Osgood,  in  Billerica  bounds,  to  the  cart  bridge  in  Sudbury."  On 
his  gravestone  in  Watertown  is  the  following  epitaph : 

"  Here  lies  buried  the  body  of 
Jonas  Bond.  Esq., 
who  was  called  of  God  to  serve  the  public,  both  as  a  Lieut.  Colonel  of  a  regiment 
of  militia,  and  as  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and  was  careful  to  discharge  his  trusts 
with  zeal,  fidelity,  and  courage ;  who  was  a  man  of  unaffected  piety,  which  was 
attended  with  all  those  virtues  that  are  requisite  to  accomplish  a  Christian  ;  who 
was  a  kind  husband,  a  tender  father,  a  steady  friend,  and  a  hearty  lover  of  good 
men;  and,  having  served  his  generation,  by  the  will  of  God  fell  asleep  Ap.  21. 
1727,  tetatis  sua?  63." 

By  the  side  of  this  gravestone  is  another,  with  the  following  inscription : 

"  Memento  mori  fugit  hora. 

Here  lies  the  body  of  Grace  Bond,  wife  of  Jonas  Bond,  aged  35  years. 

Died  Ap.  11,  1699."

decease : 

"  It  is  with  profound  regret  that  we  record  the  death  of  one  of  our  oldest 
and  most  respectable  citizens,  Mr.  Thomas  Bond.  He  died  on  Tuesday, 
after  a  brief  illness,  at  the  age  of  74.  Twenty-seven  years  ago  he  removed 
from  West  Brookfield  to  this  town,  and  from  that  day  to  this,  he  has  main- 
tained a  character,  spotless  in  its  honour,  and  radiant  in  its  discriminating 
and  unostentatious  benevolence.  Though  it  is  in  the  course  of  nature  that 
a  life,  leaning  so  far  from  the  shore  of  time  over  the  ocean  of  eternity, 
should  drop  its  ripened  apple  of  gold  into  the  abyss,  we  still  weep  to  see  it 
disappear,  and  miss  it  with  sorrow  from  the  trembling  bough  which  it 
adorned,  and  where  it  hung.'"'

the  25th,  Col.  Bond's)  were  ordered  to  Canada,  being  the  first  detachment  ordered 
thither,  by  the  way  of  the  Lakes,  on  that  expedition  which  proved  so  disastrous 
to  the  Americans,  partly  on  account  of  the  extreme  sickliness  of  the  season,  and 
partly  on  account  of  the  incompetency  of  some  of  the  numerous  generals,  who 
were  successively  in  command.  He  returned  from  Canada,  with  his  force  greatly 
weakened  by  disease  and  death,  and  encamped  on  Mount  Independence,  opposite 
to  Ticonderoga.  For  the  important  services  rendered  by  the  25th  Reg't,  in  the 
xetreat  of  the  army  from  Canada,  see  Gordon's  Hist,  of  the  Am.  Revolution, 
vol.  ii.,  pp.  260,  '61,  and  '62. 

The  following  is  extracted  from  a  letter,  dated  "  Camp  Mount  Independence, 
opposite  Ticonderoga,  Sept.  4,  1776,"  and  published  in  the  Boston  Gazette,  of 
Sept.  23,  1776.  "On  the  31st  nit,  departed  this  life,  Col.  William  Bond.  He 
met  the  last  enemy  with  the  greatest  calmness  and  intrepidity.  In  his  death  our 
country  has  lost  a  true  patriot,  and  a  most  vigilant  officer  of  tried  bravery.  The 
first  of  this  instant  his  remains  were  escorted  with  military  parade  to  the  place  of 
burial  in  the  front  of  the  Regiment,  where  the  Rev.  Ebenezer  David  delivered  a 
funeral  oration  and  a  prayer.  After  which  the  corpse  was  interred,  and  the 
Colonel's  character  honoured  by  a  discharge  of  three  24  pounders,  and  the  usual 
volleys  of  musketry.  The  whole  was  conducted  in  a  manner  suitable  to  the  occa- 
sion."

BRIGHT. 


BRIGHT.* 

There  were  two  early  settlers  of  Watertown  of  the  name  of  HENRY  BRIGHT,  who,  from 
their  respective  ages,  had  been  supposed  to  be  father  and  son.  A  careful  examination  of 
the  town  and  county  records  had  rendered  this  supposition  extremely  improbable,  and  the 
late  extensive  researches  in  England  by  H.  G.  Somerby,  Esq.,  have  clearly  disproved  it. 

HENRY  BRIGHT,  Sen.,  in  the  town  record  sometimes  called  "old  Bright,*'  d.  in  Wat.. 
Sept.  14,  1674,  "above  a  hundred  years  old,"  according  to  the  town  records,  and  109  years 
old,  according  to  the  county  records.  Owing  to  his  great  age  and  indigence,  he  was  taken 
care  of  by  the  town  for  some  time  previous  to  his  decease.  His  Inventory  amounted  to 
only  £2  9s.  It  included  "  1  pair  of  shop  shears,"  rendering  it  probable  that  he  had  been 
a  tailor.  It  included  no  land,  although  he  had  formerly  been  a  proprietor.  It  is  probable 
that  he  came  over  between  the  year  1637,  when  his  name  is  not  on  the  list  of  proprietors, 
and  1642,  when  he  owned  a  homestall  of  8  acres. 

HENRY  BRIGHT,  Jr.,  came  to  America  as  early  as  1630,  and  probably  at  the  same 
time  with  Gov.  Winthrop,  as  they  were  from  the  same  County  (Suffolk),  and  their  families 
were  remotely  related  by  marriage.  His  name  is  the  48th  on  the  list  of  members  of  the 
first  church  of  Boston,  that  was  originally  organized  in  Charlestown,  which  shows  that  he 
must  have  been  a  member  of  it  in  1630. 

To  the  liberality  of  my  friend,  Mr.  J.  B.  Bright,  of  Waltham,  and  to  the  scrutinizing  and 
persevering  researches  of  Mr.  Somerby,  in  England,  we,  the  numerous  descendants  of  Dea. 
Henry  Bright,  are  indebted  for  the  following  information  respecting  his  pedigree,  and  for 
the  accompanying  illustrations. 


ST.    MARY'S    CHURCH,    BURT   ST.    EDMUND'S. 

The  rebuilding  of  St.  Mary's  Church  (originally  erected  A.D.  1005),  was  begun  in 
1424,  and  finished  about  1433.  This  fine  structure  is  139  ft.  long  (exclusive  of  the  chan- 
cel, which  is  74  by  68  ft.),  and  67£  ft.  in  breadth.  The  roof  of  the  nave,  which  was  framed 
at  Caen,  in  Normandy,  is  admired  for  its  lightness  and  elegance.  [See  Guide,  &c,  of 
Bury  St.  Edmund's.]  The  first  Walter  Bright  [see  pedigree],  belonged  to  this  church,  as 
did  also  John  Bright,  his  presumed  father,  and  his  two  sons,  John  and  Edmund.  It  was 
in  this  churchyard  that  Thomas  Bond  (father  of  the  first  William  Bond,  of  Wat.),  requested 
to  be  buried. 

Thomas  Bright,  Sen.  [see  pedigree],  whose  likeness  is  here  presented,  was  an  Alder- 
man, and  a  liberal  benefactor  of  Bury  St.  Edmund's.  In  the  Guild  Hall  is  an  original  por- 
trait of  him,  which  was  procured  by  the  Corporation,  and  from  which  the  annexed  en- 
graving was  taken.     Beneath  the  picture,  on  the  same  panel,  is  the  following  inscription  : 


*  Mr.  Somerby  says,  ';My  friend,  Thomas  Wright,  Esq.,  F.  S.  A.,  the  best  Saxon  scholar  in  England,  gives  me 
the  origin  of  this  name  thus:  'The  name  Bright,  is  an  excellent  Anglo-Saxon  name.  In  the  Saxon  it  was  spell 
Beorht.  It  is  the  simple  word  bright;  but  it  was  used  then  with  much  more  extensive  meaning,  as  signifying 
distinguished,  excellent,  surpassing  in  courage,  or  anything  else; — as  you  would  say  now,  a  shining  fellow. 
We  say  a  bright  fellow,  more  with  reference  to  his  intelligence;  hence  the  name  means  an  excellent  or  dis- 
tinguished man.     Beorht  was  a  common  name  among  the  Anglo-Saxons,  and  is  often  found  in  the  records.'"

He  belonged  to  the  Parish  of  St.  James,  and  his  children  were  baptized  in  that  church, 
which  is  here  represented.  In  the  same  church  the  children  and  grandchildren  of  Jonas 
and  Rose  Bond  were  baptized.     [See  p.  45.] 

The  Guide  to  the  Town,  Abbey,  and  Antiquities  of  Bury  St.  E.  says,  "St.  James's 
Church,  constructed  of  freestone,  is  a  fine  Gothic  building,  the  west  end  of  which  is  re- 
markably handsome.  The  first  church  here  was  erected  about  the  year  1200."  The 
present  structure,  though  far  advanced  in  the  year  1500,  was  not  finished  till  the  Reforma- 
tion, when  Edward  VI.  gave  £200  towards  its  completion.  Its  length  is  137  ft.,  and  its 
breadth  69  ft.     The  chancel  is  56  by  28  ft. 


ST.    JAMES'S    CHURCH,    BURT    ST.    EDMUND'S. 

Netherhall.  the  seat  of  Robert  Bright  and  his  descendants  [see  Pedigree],  is  situated  in 
Thurston,  Co.  Suff.,  England,  about  six  miles  from  Bury  St.  Edmund's.  It  was  visited  by 
Mr.  Somerby  in  1851,  who  describes  it  as  a  beautiful  place,  still  kept  up  as  a  gentleman's 
seat.  The  building  stands  about  700  or  800  yards  from  the  road,  and  is  approached 
through  two  magnificent  avenues  of  ancient  oaks.  There  is  a  fine  lawn  in  front  of  the 
hall,  Skirted  by  a  park  and  preserves  for  game.  Edmund  Tyrrell,  Esq.,  inherited  the 
estate  from  the  Brights;  in  what  manner  was  not  ascertained.  He  sold  it  to  George 
Chinery.  Esq..  from  whom  it  passed  to  W.  Chinery  Barrett,  whose  widow  now  enjoys  it. 
There  are  in'the  hall  four  portraits  of  the  Brights,  pointed  out  to  Mr.  Somerby  by  Mrs. 
Barrett ;  two  gentlemen  (one  in  armour)  and  two  ladies.  There  are  also  two  full-length 
portraits  of  gentlemen  in  the  drawing-room,  in  the  costume  of  the  period  of  James  II., 
which  are  master-pieces.  One  of  them  is  an  original  portrait  of  William  III. ;  the 
other  unknown.  Mrs.  Barrett  has  a  plan  of  the  estate,  drawn  by  Henry  Bright, 
cousin  of  Dea.  Henry  Bright,  of  Watertown.  On  this  plan  is  an  outline  sketch  of  the 
building  as  it  was  then.     It  has  been  considerably  altered  in  the  exterior. 

*  li  A  draper,  in  those  days,  was  a  man  of  superior  station  in  society,  and  generally  very  wealthy."

BRIGHT.

nitmnr, 


In  Bricet  Church  is  a  monument,  erected  to  the  memory  of  John  Bright,  surmounted  by 
the  Bright  coat  of  arms,  very  elaborately  executed,  of  which  the  preceding  cut  is  a  good 
representation. 


Arms  of  BRIGHT,  of  Bury  St.  Edmund's:  Sable,  a  fesse  argent  between  3  escallops  or. 
Crest.  A  dragon's  head  gule.  vomiting  (lames  of  fire  proper,  collared,  and  lined.  These 
arms  were  confirmed,  in  1615  (not  then  granted,  as  stated  by  Burke),  to  Thomas  Bright. 
Jr.,  showing  that  they  had  been  in  the  family  long  before  that  period.  Escallops  denote 
pilgrimages  or  service  in  the  Holy  Land.     The  fe>se  is  emblematic  of  the  military  girdle. 


BRIGHT.

In  the  churchyard  of  Bury  St.  E.  is  a  tombstone  of  the  Brights,  on  which  is  the  Bright 
coat  of  arms.     The  inscription  is  nearly  obliterated,  and  the  crest  of  the  arms  entirely  so.

118  BROWNE. 

BROWNE  (Brown).     INTRODUCTION. 

There  were  three  early  settlers  of  Watertown,  of  the  name  of  Browne,  belonging,  as  we 
have  reason  to  believe,  to  the  same  family,  and  nearly  related,  viz.:  Richard,  Abraham, 
and  John*  There  is  little  doubt  that  John  was  nephew  to  Richard.  It  was  for  some 
time  believed,  upon  apparently  very  satisfactory  evidence,  that  Abraham  and  Richard 
were  brothers  ;  but  some  facts  have  come  to  light,  that  would  harmonize  as  well  with  the 
supposition  that  Abraham  was  the  nephew  of  Richard.  (Note  7.)  Mr.  Somerbyf  has 
satisfactorily  traced  the  lineage  of  this  family,  through  several  generations,  to  Christopher 
Browne,  of  the  parish  of  Hawkedon,  Co.  of  Suffolk,  England,  and  thence  to  the  ancient 
family  of  Browne,  of  the  Borough  of  Stamford,  in  Lincolnshire,  and  of  Tolethorpe,  in  the 
county  of  Rutland ;  the  latter,  the  principal  seat  of  the  head  of  the  family  for  probably 
four  hundred  years  or  more.  In  the  preceding  pedigree,  Richard  and  Abraham  appear  as 
brothers,  and  this  was  probably  their  true  relation.  Diligent  search  in  England  has 
failed  to  bring  to  light  any  records  that  bring  down  the  Hawkedon  branch  of  the  family  to 
a  later  period  than  is  shown  in  the  pedigree;  and  in  the  absence  of  record  or  other  strong 
evidence  to  show  that  Abraham  belonged  to  the  succeeding  generation,  he  will  probably 
remain  undisturbed  in  his  place  in  the  table,  as  shown  by  the  records  relating  to  the 
Hawkedon  family,  and  which  harmonizes  with  all  known  facts,  except  the  loose  recitals 
referred  to  in  note  7  :  and  these  may  with  equal  plausibility  be  construed  either  way. 

NOTES  TO  THE  PEDIGREE,  pp.  116  and  117. 

Notk  1.  All  Saints  Church  is  one  of  the  principal  ornaments  of  Stamford.  It  is  a  large, 
well-proportioned  structure,  consisting  of  a  nave,  two  aisles,  and  two  chancels,  one  of 
which  is  at  the  end  of  the  south  aisle,  and  the  other  answering  to  the  nave.  It  was 
built  at  the  expense  of  Mr.  John  Browne,  merchant  of  the  staple  of  Calais,  who,  with  his 
wife,  lies  buried  at  the  upper  end  of  the  north  aisle.  The  steeple  was  built  by  his  son 
William.     (See  Note  2.)     On  a  gilt  brass  plate  in  the  wall  is  this  inscription : 

t:  Orate  pro  animabns,  Johannis  Browne,  mercatoris  stapule  Calisie,  et  Margerie  uxoris  ejus  qui 
quidem  Johannis,  obijt  XXVI0  die  mensis  Julii  an  d'n'i  MCCCCXLIJ,  etque  quede'  Margerie 
obijt  XXIJ  die  Novembris  a0  d'rri  MCCCCLX0  quor'  animabns  p'pi'cieter  Deus.     Amen." 

Note  2.  This  William  Browne  was  a  "merchant  of  the  staple  of  Calais."  Leland  says 
of  him,  that  he  was  "  a  Marchant  of  a  Very  VVonderfull  Richnesse,  and  he  lyved  in  hoc 
estate,  so  that  sum  men  be  alyve  that  have  seene  him."  Fuller  says,  "  He  was  extracted, 
as  I  am  credibly  informed,  from  the  ancient  family  of  Brownes,  of  this  county"  [Rutland- 
shire]. He  was  Alderman  of  Stamford,  in  1435,  '44,  '49,  '60,  '66,  and  70.  and  sheriff  of  Rut- 
landshire, in  1467,  '75,  '83,  and  '86,  and  probably  of  Lincolnshire,  in  1478.  He  was  the 
founder  of  "  Browne's  Hospital,"  called  the  "  Old  Bead  House,"  in  Stamford,  which  was  com- 
pleted in  1493,  and  dedicated  in  1494, — for  a  warden,  confrater,  12  poor  men,  and  a  nurse, 
and  which  he  liberally  endowed  with  the  manor  of  Swayfield,  in  Lincolnshire,  and  other 
estates.  This  institution  is  still  flourishing,  its  revenues  being  greatly  increased,  and  the 
scope  of  its  charities  enlarged.  He  also  built,  at  his  own  expense,  the  beautiful  steeple 
of  the  Church  of  All  Saints,  Stamford.  [The  church  had  been  erected  by  his  father.]  On 
the  north  side  of  the  steeple,  on  a  shield,  is  the  device  of  a  merchant  of  the  staple.  He 
and  his  wife  were  buried  in  the  south  (St.  Mary's)  chapel  in  said  Church  (il  a  chapel 
proper  to  his  family").  Where  formerly  stood  the  altar,  there  is  a  blue  marble  stone 
and  figures  of  William  Browne  and  his  wife,  engraved  on  brass.  He  is  dressed  in  a  long 
gown,  and  stands  upon  two  cushions  or  wool-packs:  she  in  elegantly  flowing  robes,  with 
a  dog  at  her  feet.  Above  the  canopies,  over  their  heads,  are  four  blank  shields  and  scrolls. 
On  that  over  his  head  is  inscribed,  "  x  me  spede ;"  and  over  hers,  "Der  Lady  help  at 
neede."     At  their  feet,  the  following  inscription  : 

*  A  little  previous  to  the  year  1700,  another  family  of  the  name  of  Brown  moved  into  Watertown,  and  had  there 
a  temporary  residence.  [See  p.  145.]  It  is  not  improbable  that  Edmund,  Thomas,  and  William  Browne,  original 
grantees  of  Sudbury,  were  of  the  same  lineage  as  Richard  and  Abraham;  but  no  evidence  of  it  has  been  dis- 
covered. 

t  For  the  materials  of  the  English  pedigree  of  the  Brownes  we  are  indebted  to  the  personal  researches  ot  H. 
G.  Somerby,  Esq.;  and  for  the  digestion  and  arrangement  of  them,  as  well  as  for  a  careful  examination  of  early 
English  authors,  we  are  indebted  to  William  P.  Browne,  Esq.  [349].  at  whose  instance,  together  with  that  of 
Charles  Browne,  Esq  [112]  the  researches  have  been  prosecuted  in  England.  CZr*  I'  is  evident  from  the  Eng- 
lish records,  and  the  early  records  in  this  country,  that  Browne  is  the  correct  orthography  of  the  name  of  lliis 
ancient  family  ;  hut  the  descendants  of  Abraham  Browne  of  Watertown,  since  the  2d  or  3d  generation,  have, 
with  few  exceptions,  dropped  the  final  e. 


BROWNE.  +  119 

"Rex  Regum,  Dominus  Dominantium,  tu  quia  solus 

Velle  tuo  suberit,  omne  quod  est,  vel  erit. 
Intravit  terram  corpus,  sed  spiritus  ad  te 

Currere  festinat ;  tu,  Deus,  accipe  me 
In  te  sperantem  ;  fili  Deus,  et  pater  alme, 

Altitonensq',  Deus  Spiritus,  accipe  me. 
Peccavi,  mala  multa  tali  me  penitet  hujus, 

Ad  te  clamantem,  tu  Deus,  accipe  me. 
Non  intres  D'ne,  judicare  mini,  nisi  primo 

Digneris  venie  reddere  quod  satis  est; 
Et  q'  pro  nostris  a'  i'  abus  suscipiendis 

Rex  terrenus  eras,  tu  Deus,  accipe  me." 

Note  3.  This  Christopher  Browne  was  Sheriff  of  Rutlandshire,  8th  and  16th  Hen.  VII. 
(1492  and  1500),  and  1st  Hen.  VIII.  (1509).  He  came  over  with  Hen.  VII.,  and  assisted  him 
against  Richard  III.,  for  which  good  service  King  Hen.  VIII.,  on  the  6th  day  of  July,  in  the 
18th  year  of  his  reign,  granted  to  his  eldest  son,  Francis  Browne,  of  counsel  to  Lady  Margaret 
Beaufort  (mother  of  Hen.  VII.),  Countess  of  Richmond  and  Derby,  a  patent,  exempting 
him  from  holding  the  office  of  Sheriff  or  Escheater,  and  authorizing  him  to  appear  with 
his  head  covered  in  the  presence  of  the  King,  his  heirs,  and  successors,  and  of  all  great 
men,  lords  spiritual  and  temporal,  and  all  other  persons  whomsoever  of  the  kingdom. 
[Fuller's  Hist,  of  the  worthies  of  England.]  That  part  of  the  arms,  which  appear  in  the 
1st  quarter,  viz.,  per  bend  Argent  and  Sable,  3  mascles  bendways  counterchanged,  and 
the  crest,  were,  in  1480  (20th  Edw.  IV.),  granted  to  this  Christopher  Browne.  [See  Blore's 
Rutland,  p.  219,  where  the  grant  is  set  out  at  length.] 

Note  4.  Tolethorpe  is  situated  on  the  right  bank  of  the  River  Quash,  in  the  Parish  of 
Little  Casterton,  in  Co.  Rutland,  about  two  miles  north  of  the  Borough  of  Stamford.  In 
the  50th  year  of  Edw.  III.  [A.  D.  1376],  Sir  Thomas  de  Burton,  Knt.,  by  deed,  dated  on 
the  Saturday  next  after  the  feast  of  St.  Martin,  the  Bishop,  conveyed  to  John  Browne,  of 
Stamford,  Esq.,  all  his  lands,  tenements,  rents,  and  services  in  the  Village  of  Little  Casterton, 
with  the  reversion  of  the  patronage  of  the  church  there.  In  the  5th  year  of  Hen.  VII. 
(1589),  a  fine  was  levied  between  Christopher  Browne  and  others,  plaintiffs,  against 
Thomas  Burton  and  Margaret,  his  wife,  deforcients  of  a  moiety  of  the  manor  of  Tole- 
thorpe and  tenements,  with  the  appurtenances.  From  the  latter  period  (and  possibly  an 
earlier  one),  Tolethorpe  became  the  principal  seat  of  the  head  of  the  family.  On  the 
death  of  John  Browne,  Esq.,  Feb.  27,  1719,  without  surviving  issue,  Tolethorpe  descended 
to  his  nephew,  Francis  Browne,  Esq.  (son  of  his  brother  Edward,  of  Gretford,  in  Lincoln- 
shire, Esq.).  on  whose  death  without  issue  in  1751,  the  manor  of  Tolethorpe  and  other 
estates,  descended  to  his  nephew,  Thomas  Trollope,  Esq.  (son  of  his  sister  Anne,  by 
Thomas  Trollope,  Esq.) ;  who,  thereupon  assumed  the  surname  of  Browne.  He  died  in 
1770,  and  the  estates  of  the  family  descended  to  his  only  surviving  daughter  and  heir, 
Mary,  who  afterwards  married  the  Right  Honorable  George  Fermor,  Earl  of  Pomfret, 
who,  in  her  right,  became  lord  of  the  manors  of  Tolethorpe  and  Little  Casterton,  and 
patron  of  the  church  of  Little  Casterton,  in  1807. 

Wright's  History  of  Rutland,  fol.  1684,  contains  an  engraving  of  the  family  seat,  Tole- 
thorpe Hall,  a  very  ancient  and  curious  building.  It  has  since  been  re-edified,  and  now 
bears  little  resemblance  to  the  engraving.  The  mansion  and  estate  now  belong  to  the 
Hon.  Charles  Compton  Cavendish,  2d  son  of  Mary,  Countess  of  Pomfret,  the  lineal  de- 
scendant and  representative  of  the  first  Christopher  Browne.  On  the  marriage  of  the 
Countess,  the  place  was  dismantled  and  stripped  of  its  furniture,  and  a  few  years  ago  all 
the  ancient  Title  Deeds  relating  to  Tolethorpe,  from  the  very  earliest  period,  were  offered 
for  sale  in  a  second-hand  bookseller's  catalogue.  The  house  is  now  let  to  Emerson  Har- 
rison, Esq. 

Note  5.  The  estate,  or  home  estate,  of  this  branch  of  the  family  consisted  of  two  tene-

Parishes  of  Somerton  and  Hawkedon.  The  property  is  thus  described  and  bequeathed  in 
the  Will  of  Christopher  Browne  (A.  D.,  1531)  :  "I  gyve  and  bequethe  to  Anne  my  wyef,

of  such  issue  then  to  his  son  Christopher  [X  Stofer]  Browne  and  his  heirs  male,  and  for 
lack  of  such  issue  then  to  his  son  Thomas  and  his  heirs  male;  and  for  the  lack  of  such 
issue  then  to  go  "to  my  heirs  and  assigns  forever."  He  makes  bequests  of  money  to  his 
said  sons  Robert,  Christopher,  and  Thomas,  and  to  his  daughters  Elizabeth,  Margaret,  and 
Agnes,  and  to  his  godson  [grandson?]  Christopher  Browne.  The  Will  is  witnessed  by 
Robert  Browne,  filius  et  heres  testoris;  Robert  Checkley,  clericus  [minister  of  Hawkedon], 
Thomas  Hy'on,  Johnes  Cawston. 

His  son  Christopher's  Will  is  dated  Nov.  24,  1568;  proved  May  31,  1574.     It  makes  no 
mention  of  his  wife,  who  was  probably  de-     _*>  i  f)

Robert  Browne]  ;  and  to  his  son  Robert  Browne,  he  gives  "the  lease  of  my  fearme  in  as 
large  and  ampple  manner  as  I  hav  it,"  and  also  all  the  rest  of  his  estate,  real  and  personal, 
and  appoints  him  executor.  Witnesses  are  John  Andrear  [?  Andrew],  Thomas  Hamonde, 
Robert  Brydges,  James  Hawton,  and  Robert  Shaw,  Clerk. 

Neither  the  Deans  nor  Swans  are  mentioned  in  this  Will.  It  is  not  improbable  that  his 
elder  brother,  Robert,  was  still  living,  and  in  possession,  but  without  heirs  male,  so  that 
his  son  Thomas  was  heir  presumptive  to  the  Deans  and  Swans,  under  the  first  Christo- 
pher's Will.  His  son  Thomas  being  thus  provided  for,  would  account  for  his  younger  son 
Robert  being  made  principal  legatee  and  executor. 

The  Will  of  said  Thomas  Browne,  of  Hawkedon,  is  dated  Dec.  22,  1590  :  proved  Jan. 
26,  1591.  He  had  inherited  the  Deans  and  Swans  and  bequeathed  them  as  follows:  "To 
Johan  my  wife,  my  house  wherein  I  dwell,  with  all  the  outhouses  thereto  belonginge,  called 
and  knowne  by  the  name  of  the  Deanes  &  Swaines,  with  all  the  lands,  meadowe  and  pas- 
ture thereto  belonginge,  during  her  naturall  life,  upon  this  condicon  following,  viz.,  that

daughter  Sarah.  Witnesses,  Robert  Raye,  minister  of  Hawedon  ;  John  Rayner,  Richard

Mr.  Somerby  says,  "  Hawkedon  is  a  scattered  village  on  a  pleasant  acclivity,  near  a 
rivulet,  9  miles  S.  S.  W.  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  The  church  is  a  fine  specimen  of  ancient 
architecture,  with  a  tower  and  five  bells.     The  Parish  contains  339  souls,  and  1210  acres

of  land.  It  is  in  two  manors,  viz.,  Havvkedon  Hall,  the  seal  and  property  of  J.  Trask,  Esq., 
and  Thurston  Hall,  of  which  H.  J.  Oakes,  Esq.,  is  lord.  Swan  Hall,  another  mansion,  now 
a  farm-house,  with  a  large  estate,  belongs  to  G.  W.  Poley,  Esq.  This  was  formerly  a  seat 
of  the  Browne  family.  It  is  probable  that  the  estate  was  sold  in  order  to  be  divided 
among  the  five  sons  of  Thomas  Browne,  and  thus  passed  out  of  the  possession  of  that 
family.  A  small  work  on  the  County  of  Suffolk  says,  Swan  Hall,  another  ancient  man- 
sion, now  a  farm-house,  •'  was  formerly  a  seat  of  the  Abbot  family.'  This  was  after  it 
passed  out  of  the  possession  of  the  Brownes. 

"  Swan  Hall  is  about  a  mile  from  Hawkedon,  and  is  now  (1852)  occupied  by  a  farmer, 
Simon  Moore.  It  is  probably  one  of  the  oldest  residences  in  the  County  of  Suffolk,  beino- 
several  hundred  years  old.  It  is  built  of  oak,  and  covered  with  plaster,  excepting  some 
of  the  principal  beams,  which  are  elaborately  carved.  The  principal  part  of  the  building 
was  taken  down  about  forty  years  ago,  and  the  beautiful  panelling,  carving,  &c,  &c,  of 
the  interior,  distributed  among  individuals  in  the  neighboring  parishes.  The  part  of  the 
building  which  remains,  does  not  give  one  any  idea  of  its  former  extent.  I  succeeded 
nevertheless  in  producing  a  sketch  which  will  afford  an  almost  perfect  idea  of  the  build- 
ing as  it  was  originally.  I  found  an  old  lady  at  Hawkedon,  who  resided  at  the  Hall  at  the 
time  when  the  principal  portion  of  it  was  demolished,  and  she  remembers  particularly  that 
it  was  precisely  like  Thurston  Hall,  which  is  in  the  neighborhood,  and  retains  all  its 
original  features.  From  this  Hall  I  finished  my  sketch.  The  old  lady  spoke  of  the  elegant 
stained  glass  window  in  the  Grand  Hall,  a  small  portion  of  which,  when  the  Hall  was 
demolished,  was  transferred  to  the  chancel  window  of  the  church,  and  also  of  the  elaborate 
carved  work,  both  within  and  without,  not  a  vestige  of  which  remains,  except  the  beams 
on  the  front  end.  She  does  not  know  what  became  of  it,  but  believes  a  portion  was  taken 
to  Charity  Hall,  some  miles  distant."

ment  by  the  various  denominations  of  Congregationalists.  There  is  reason  to  believe  that 
history  has  done  much  injustice  to  this  person.  It  is  certain  that  Lord  Burleigh,  and  after 
his  death,  his  not  much  less  distinguished  son,  the  Earl  of  Exeter,  were  ever  his  firm 
friends  and  patrons.  With  a  full  knowledge  of  the  Reformer's  unconquerable  hostility  to 
the  Episcopal  English  Church — for  it  never  ceased,  notwithstanding  his  incumbency  in 
one  of  its  churches  (in  which  he  never  officiated) — Lord  Burleigh,  who  did  more  than 
any  other  subject  of  England  to  establish  that  Church  on  its  permanent  basis,  never  failed 
to  spread  over  him  the  eegis  of  his  great  power  (second  to  the  Queen's  alone),  to  shield 
him  from  the  effects  of  the  relentless  hostility  of  the  Hierarchy.  Lord  B.  knew  the  Refor- 
mer well,  and  evidently  held  him  in  much  respect.  Circumstances  conspired  to  make 
not  only  the  Episcopal  party,  but  in  the  end,  his  own,  the  Puritans,  hostile  to  him.  In  his 
opinions,  he  was  probably  as  wide  on  the  one  hand  from  the  extravagances  of  Puritanism, 
as  developed  in  its  aftergrowth,  as  on  the  other  from  a  belief  in  the  hierarchy  of  the  English 
Church.  Lord  Burleigh,  in  his  letter  to  Browne's  father,  says,  "  Inasmuch  as  he  is  your 
son,  airtl  of  my  blood;'''  and  Fuller  says  that  he  (Browne)  was  a  "  near  kinsman"  of  the 
Earl  of  Exeter.  These  would  intimate  a  nearer  relationship  than  is  shown  by  the  above 
pedigree. 

Note  7.  The  records  of  Boston  and  of  the  county  of  Suffolk  (Mass.)  show  that  there 
was  an  Edmund  Browne,  a  proprietor  of  Boston,  as  early  as  1647,  who  mar.,  14.  12,  1653, 
Elizabeth  Oakley  (daughter  of  "  Mary,  the  relict  of  the  late  Robert  Bouchier,  alias  Garret" 
[?  Gannet] .  She  was  probably  a  daughter  by  a  former  marriage,  or  a  widow  at  the  time 
of  her  marriage  to  Browne).  They  had  two  chil.  Mary,  b.  Dec.  15,  1656.  and  John,  b. 
Oct.  9,  1660.  He  died,  after  an  absence  of  several  years,  at  Sardainham  [1  Surinam]. 
Both  of  his  chil.  also  died  early,  and  Jonathan,  the  son  of  Abraham  Browne,  of  Water- 
town,  inherited  his  land  as  next  kin.  In  a  deed,  dated  Jan.  1,  1672-3,  from  Jonathan  to 
one  Richard  Taylor,  conveying  the  reversion  of  some  of  Edmund's  real  estate,  he  recites 
that  he  is  "cousin  and  next  heir  of  said  Edmund;"  and  afterwards,  in  the  same  instrument, 
he  calls  Edmund  his  uncle.  In  a  suit  for  possession  of  a  piece  of  land  belonging  to  the 
estate,  Edmund  (1682)  is  incidentally  several  times  called  the  uncle  of  Jonathan.  The 
records  relating  to  Edmund  bear  evidence  of  great  carelessness,  and  are  in  many  respects 
contradictory  and  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  harmonize  with  any  hypothesis  that  may 
be  assumed  to  reconcile  them.  It  is  believed,  according  with  the  first  recital  in  said 
deed,  that  Edmund  was  a  nephew  of  Abraham,  and  brother  to  John,  of  VVatertown,  and 
a  son  of  John,  of  Hawkedon.  His  birth  does  not  appear  in  the  table  of  pedigree;  but  the 
early  parish  register  (commencing  in  1538)  is  lost.  There  is  now  none  dating  back 
beyond  1709.  It  was  the  custom,  as  early  as  1560,  for  clergymen  to  deposit  certified 
copies  of  these  registers  each  year  in  the  Will  offices.  Very  few  of  these  copies  are  now 
in  existence.  It  was  amongst  those  remaining  in  the  office  at  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  rela- 
tive to  Hawkedon,  that  were  found  the  baptisms  of  Mary  and  John,  the  chil.  of  John  and 
grand  chil.  of  Thomas,  of  Hawkedon.  The  births  and  baptisms  of  no  other  grand  chil. 
of  said  Thomas  have  been  discovered. 

We  have  scarcely  a  doubt  that  Edmund  was  the  son  of  John,  of  Hawkedon.  This  sup- 
position best  harmonizes  all  known  facts.  The  name  of  his  son,  John,  for  his  supposed 
paternal  grandfather — the  daughter  being  named  Mary  for  her  maternal  grandmother — is 
confirmatory  of  it.  It  is  possible  that  Abraham,  of  Watertown,  was  also  a  son  of  John, 
of  Hawkedon,  and  that  his  place  in  the  table  should  be  a  degree  below  that  of  Abraham 
of  the  pedigree,  with  whom  we  have  identified  him,  but  the  balance  of  probabilities 
inclines  the  other  way. 

Note  8.  This  Christopher  Browne  was  one  of  the  persons  selected  by  King  Charles  II. 
to  be  invested  with  the  Order  of  The  Royal  Oak.  For  prudential  reasons — the  fear  of  per- 
petuating party  feuds — the  project  of  establishing  the  order  was  abandoned. 

RICHARD  BROWNE,  son  of  Thomas  and  Joan,  of  Swan  Hall,  Hawkedon,  Co.  Suffolk ; 
b.  about  1575  or  6;  settled  first  in  London,  where  he  was  a  ruler  in  a  church  of  Separa- 
tists, and  there  rendered  important  services  to  some  of  the  persecuted  Non-conformists. 
He  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Watertown,  and  the  first  Ruling  Elder  of  the  Church. 
He  was  one  of  the  first  that  applied  (Oct.,  1630)  to  be  admitted  freeman,  and  was  ad- 
mitted May  18,  1631.  Towards  the  end  of  1632,  he  was  removed  from  the  office  of 
Ruling  Elder,  on  account  of  his  sentiments,  which  were  too  liberal  for  the  ecclesiastical 
notions  then  prevalent.  There  was,  however,  entire  accordance  between  him  and  his 
very  worthy  pastor,  Rev.  George  Phillips;  and  such  was  Mr.  Browne's  influence,  that 
Hubbard  says,  he  "  was  thought  sometimes  to  overrule  the  Church." 


BROWNE.  fl23 

Hubbard  had  imbibed  the  prejudices  of  Gov.  Winthrop;  yet  he  says  Mr.  Browne  was  a 
man  of  good  understanding,  and  well  versed  in  the  discipline  of  Separation  [i.  e.,  of  Congre- 
gationalism], having  been  a  Ruler  in  one  of  their  churches  in  London.  And  what  he 
says  of  Mr.  Phillips,  throws  a  clear  light  upon  the  cause  of  Mr.  Browne's  removal  from 
office.  "  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Phillips,  of  Watertown,  was  at  the  first  more  acquainted  with 
the  way  of  church  discipline,  since  owned  by  the  Congregational  churches;  but  being 
then  without  any  [magistrate  or  minister]  to  stand  by  him  (for  wo  to  him  that  is  alone), 
he  met  with  much  opposition  from  some  of  the  magistrates  [Winthrop,  Dudley,  Noel, 
&c],  till  the  time  that  Mr.  Cotton  came  into  the  country,  who,  by  his  preaching  and 
practice,  did  by  degrees  mould  all  their  church  administrations  into  the  same  form,  which 
Mr.  Phillips  [and  Mr.  Browne]  labored  to  have  introduced  into  the  churches  before." 

What  Winthrop  and  Hubbard  characterize  as  a  "violent  spirit"  and  passion,  in  Mr. 
Browne,  was  doubtless  his  bold  and  unyielding  advocacy  of  his  more  liberal  and  just  views; 
his  unflinching  confronting  of  the  magistrates  in  their  "  much  opposition"  to  Mr.  Phillips ; 
and  the  early  and  earnest  resistance  he  and  Mr.  Phillips  presented  to  the  insidious  en- 
croachment of  arbitrary  power.  The  magistrates  fomented  a  disturbance  in  Watertown 
Church,  and  continued  to  agitate,  until  their  bigoted,  officious  intermeddling  had  effected 
the  removal  of  the  Elder  from  office.  We  cannot  discover  any  difference  in  sentiment, 
or  any  alienation,  between  Mr.  Phillips  and  Mr.  Browne.  The  latter,  being  much  older, 
was  probably  more  bold,  less  conciliatory  in  his  disposition  and  manner,  and  hence  the 
pertinacity  of  the  magistrates.  Mr.  Browne's  views,  says  the  ecclesiastical  historian  of 
Massachusetts,  were  "much  to  his  honor  in  an  age  of  bigotry,  though  censured  by  worthy 
men,  influenced  by  the  spirit  of  the  age." 

Mr.  Browne,  nevertheless,  retained  the  unabated  confidence  of  his  fellow-townsmen, 
both  as  a  Christian  and  a  citizen.  As  an  evidence  of  their  regard  for  his  discretion  and 
Christian  character,  they  sent  him,  as  one  of  their  commissioners,  to  Wethersfield,  in 
order  to  heal  the  distractions  in  that  (Watertown)  colony.  The  most  important  civil  trusts 
were,  for  a  long  time,  almost  constantly  placed  in  his  hands.  He  was  a  member  of 
several  of  the  earlier  boards  of  Selectmen,  and  was  a  Representative  of  Watertown  from 
the  first  (1634),  most  of  the  time,  until  1657.  Notwithstanding  the  disparaging  tone 
of  Winthrop — "one  Richard  Browne" — and  of  Hubbard,  who  took  his  tone  from  Win- 
throp, the  Colonial  Records  furnish  ample  proof  that  Mr.  Browne  was  not  less  respected 
and  confided  in  by  the  Court,  than  by  his  neighbors  and  townsmen.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  first  three  Juries  of  Inquest  empanelled  in  the  colony,  and  of  the  second  and  third 
of  these  juries,  he  was  the  foreman.  Previous  to  Mar.  22,  1630-1,  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall 
appointed  him  a  referee  in  a  case,  where  he  was  a  party. 

Aug.  1,  1637,  he  was  the  agent,  on  the  part  of  Watertown,  for  agreeing  upon  a  rate  ol 
£400,  to  be  levied  upon  the  several  [13]  towns  in  the  Bay.  May  17,  1637,  he  was 
chosen  by  the  General  Court  to  assist  at  the  Courts  of  New  Town.  Sept.  6,  1638,  the 
Court  granted  him  200  A.  of  land,  which  was  not  located  until  Oct.  17,  1649,  when  the 
Court  granted  it  to  be  "laid  out  next  the  village  granted  to  Dedham."  In  Sept.  1638, 
when  the  General  Court  ordered  that,  in  those  towns  where  no  magistrate  resided,  com- 
missioners should  be  appointed  "to  end  small  causes,"  Mr.  Browne  was  one  of  those 
appointed  for  Watertown,  and  he  continued  to  be  reappointed  until  the  making  of  those 
appointments  was  transferred  to  the  County  Courts.  He  continued  to  receive  the  same 
appointment  from  Mid.  Co.  Court  until  1656,  about  the  time  he  moved  to  Charlestown. 
May  22,  1639,  he  was  fined  £5,  for  going  to  Connecticut  without  leave,  neither  acquaint- 
ing the  Court  nor  the  Council,  he  being,  at  that  time,  a  deputy.  But  the  next  Sept.,  £4  15s. 
of  the  fine  was  remitted,  and  the  freemen  of  Watertown  were  fined  £3,  "  for  sending  Mr. 
Browne  away."  He  was  probably,  on  this  occasion,  one  of  the  two  commissioners  sent 
to  Wethersfield  to  reconcile  church  difficulties  among  those,  who  were  then,  or  had  been, 
members  of  Watertown  Church.  Nov.  4,  1646,  the  Court  empowered  him  to  officiate  at 
marriages  in  Watertown.  This  was  the  first  such  appointment  for  Watertown.  Previous 
to  this,  it  was  necessary,  on  such  occasions,  to  resort  to  magistrates  in  other  towns.  Nov. 
5,  1633,  he  was  allowed  by  the  Court  to  keep  a  ferry  over  Charles  River,  against  his 
house ;  to  receive  2d.  for  one  person,  and  Id.  for  each  person  if  more  than  two. 

Dec.  2,  1657,  he  purchased  of  Humphrey  and  Rebecca  Booth,  a  house  in  Charlestown, 
whither  he  moved  about  that  time,  then  aged  81  or  82.  His  Will,  dated  Charlestown, 
Aug.  6,  1659,  proved  Mar.  20,  1660-1,  mentions  wife  ELIZABETH,  sole  exec;x  ;  be- 
queaths small  sums  to  his  son  Thomas  Browne,  and  his  grandsons,  Richard  and  George 
Browne,  "if  they  come  and  personally  appear  in  this  land  to  demand  the  same  and  not 
otherwise.  [It  has  not  been  ascertained,  that  either  of  them  ever  came  to  this  country.]

after  her  decease,  to  be  equally  divided  between  his  son  and  grandsons."  He  also  wills 
that  all  those  goods  which  were  brought  to  him  by  his  wife,  "  whose  properties  are  not 
altered,"  be  left  "  to  her  discretion,  to  dispose  of  them  as  she  pleaseth."  And  in  a  post- 
script, adds  to  his  wife  :  "  the  sum  of  twenty  pounds,  as  well  as  her  owne  goods,  on  the 
other  side  expressed."  It  is  supposed  that  his  son  Thomas  was  by  a  former  marriage,  not 
by  Elizabeth,  mentioned  in  his  Will.  This  supposition  is  favored  by  the  terms  of  his  own

JOHN  BROWNE,  bap.  at  Hawkedon,  Oct.  11,  1601,  son  of  John,  elder  brother  of  Richard 
Browne,  arrived  in  the  Lion,  Sept.  16,  1632;  settled  in  Watertown ;  was  adm.  freeman 
Sept.  3,  1634,  and  was  buried  June  20,  1636,  set.  36.  By  wife  DOROTHY,  he  had,  1. 
Hannah,  b.  Sept.  8,  1634.  2.  Mary,  b.  Mar.  24,  1635-6.  His  widow  was  probably  the 
wid.  Browne,  mentioned  in  the  Town  Records,  Dec.  4,  1648.  If,  however,  Abraham 
Browne  died  previous  to  this  date,  this  might  have  been  his  widow. 

ABRAHAM  BROWNE,  a  younger  brother,  or  a  nephew  of  the  Elder,  Richard  Browne. 
[See  note  7.]  He  was  a  very  early  settler,  perhaps  one  of  the  first  of  Watertown, 
and  was  admitted  freeman,  March  6th,  1631-2.  He  was  a  land  surveyor,  and,  as  is 
manifest  from  the  records,  in  the  early  municipal  transactions  of  the  town,  he  received 
important  appointments,  and  trusts  more  numerous  than  were  conferred  upon  any  other 
person.  No  two  men  were  more  respected  and  confided  in,  than  he  and  his  relative, 
Richard  Browne.  The  records  of  the  town  do  not  embrace  the  transactions  of  the  first 
four  years  after  the  settlement.  They  commence  in  1634,  extend  to  Nov.  28,  1643,  when 
there  occurs  a  hiatus  of  four  years,  and  recommence  Nov.  8,  1647.  He  was  selectman 
from  1636  to  1643,  inclusive.  In  1634,  he  was  appointed,  in  conjunction  with  Robert 
Seeley,  to  survey  all  the  lots  that  are  granted;  and  they  were  also  appointed  conservators  of 
timber  trees — none  to  be  cut  down  without  their  assent.  In  1635,  he  was  one  of  the  seven 
freemen  appointed  to  divide  every  man  "his  propriety"  of  meadow  and  upland,  that  is 
ploughable,  and  the  rest  to  lie  common.  In  the  same  year,  he  was  appointed,  with  John 
Warren,  to  lay  out  all  highways,  and  to  see  that  they  are  repaired.  Also,  to  survey  the 
lots  granted  by  the  selectmen.  In  1638,  ordered  that  all  lots,  both  of  freemen  and 
foreigners,  shall  be  measured  and  bounded  by  Abraham  Browne,  who  shall  give  a  note  of 
each  survey  to  be  enrolled  in  the  town  books.  In  the  same  year,  he  and  Thomas  Bartlett 
were  appointed  to  measure  and  lay  out  the  remote  meadows,  according  to  their  best 
judgments.  He  was  also  appointed,  with  four  others,  to  lay  out  the  farms  as  they  are  ordered, 
and  they  were  authorized  to  include  any  rock  or  swamp  in  any  survey,  not  counting  it  in  the 
number  of  acres.  In  1639,  the  highway  from  Dorchester  Field  to  the  Flats,  as  Abraham 
Browne  laid  it  out,  was  confirmed  forever.  Also,  the  highway  leading  from  Robert  Jennison's 
to  the  river,  betwixt  the  lands  of  John  Barnard  and  Jeremiah  Norcross,  together  with  about 
half  an  acre  of  land  on  the  river,  for  the  landing  of  goods,  was  ordered  to  remain  forever, 
as  laid  out  by  Abraham  Browne,  Ap.  30,  1639.  Also,  that  when  Ab.  Brown  shall  lay 
out  any  whole  squadron  of  the  great  lots,  they  to  whom  the  land  belongs  shall  make  him 
present  pay.  In  1640,  Abraham  Browne,  "  Surveyor  of  the  Town,"  was  directed  to 
survey  the  subdivisions  of  the  Hither  and  Further  Plains;  and  the  next  year  (1641),  he 
was  directed  to  do  the  same.  Also,  it  was  ordered  that  he  have  Ad.  the  acre  for  surveying 
the  two  plains  and  the  remote  meadows.  Also,  he  was  empowered,  1643,  to  warn  tres- 
passers on  public  timber,  and  to  have  one-fourth  of  the  fines.  Oct.  7,  1641,  the  General 
Court  appointed  him  one  of  the  committee  for  laying  out  the  1000  acres  of  land  granted 
to  the  Artillery  Company  at  its  first  organization. 

The  Court  Records  of  Middlesex  County,  show  that  Oct.  1,  1650,  his  Will  and  Inven- 
tory were  "accepted  at  court."  And  an  order  of  court,  made  Oct.  6,  1691,  respecting  the 
final  settlement  of  his  estate,  recites  of  him  as  "deceased  in  the  year  1650."     These 


BROWNE.  fl25 

dates  indicate,  it  is  thought,  satisfactorily,  the  year  of  his  decease;  though  there  are  some 
circumstances  that  favor  the  belief  that  he  died  between  the  close  of  1643  and  1648.  The 
latest' mention  of  his  name  in  the  Town  Records,  is  Nov.  28,  1643,  which  is  the  latest 
date  previous  to  the  before-mentioned  hiatus  of  four  years.  It  is,  therefore,  unknown 
when  his  public  services  terminated.  As  his  name  does  not  occur  in  the  Records  between 
Nov.  8,  1647,  when  they  recommence,  and  1650,  the  supposed  date  of  his  decease,  it  is 
probable  that  ill  health  or  bodily  infirmity  had  compelled  him  to  withdraw  from  his  very 
large  participation  in  public  business. 

No  original  Will  of  Abraham  Browne  has  been  discovered,  but  in  the  files  of  the  County 
Court  for  1670,  is  found  the  following,  which,  by  the  concluding  certificate,  purports  to  be 
a  copy  of  it.  "The  last  Will  and  Testament  of  Abraham  Browne,  of  Watertowne,  dec'd; 
being  of  good  and  perfect  memory  but  Weake,  as  is  witnessed  by  us  whose  names  are 
here  under  written.  Impr. :  after  the  decease  of  his  wife,  he  gave  and  bequeathed  unto 
his  two  sonnes,  Jonathan  and  Abraham  Browne,  his  house  and  lands  ;  but  giving  liberty 
to  his  wife,  that  if  shee  had  need  shee  might  sell  some  parcells  of  it.  Also,  he  gave  and 
bequeathed  unto  his  two  daughters,  Sarah  Browne  and  Mary  Browne,  each  of  them  one 
ewe  sheep,  having  each  of  them  one  before,  as  was  testified.  The  rest  of  his  goods  and 
estate  he  gave  unto  Lydea,  his  wife,  making  her  his  sole  executrix  to  perform  this,  his 
Will  and  Testament.  Witnesses,  Richard  Browne,  John  Whitney.  Entered  out  of  the 
original  on  file  with  the  Register,  at  Cambridge,  in  the  County  of  Midd.,  in  New  England, 
and  is  a  true  coppie,  being  compared  and  examined  by  Thomas  Danforth,  Recorder." 

This  instrument  resembles  a  synopsis,  more  than  a  literal  copy  of  an  original  Will.  It 
is  not  improbable  that  it  was  a  nuncupative  Will,  and  the  above  a  copy  of  the  declara- 
tion by  the  witnesses  of  its  provisions. 

There  was  much  delay  and  probably  some  difficulty  in  settling  his  estate,  and  the  set- 
tlement seems  to  have  been  made  finally,  in  entire  disregard  of  the  provisions  of  the  Will. 
On  the  6th  Oct.,  1691,  the  Court  ordered  the  parties  concerned  in  the  estate  of  Abraham 
Browne,  of  Watertown,  deceased  in  the  year  1650,  be  sent  for,  to  attend  the  adjournment 
of  the  Court,  in  order  to  a  settlement  of  said  estate;  and  they  appointed  a  committee, 
consisting  of  John  Ward,  Jonathan  Remington,  and  Thomas  Greenwood,  to  make  pro- 
posals for  said  settlement.  The  claimants  were,  1.  The  heirs  of  Jonathan  Browne, 
deceased,  the  eldest  son.  2.  George  Woodward,  in  right  of  his  wife,  only  dr.  of  Abraham 
Browne,  Jr.,  deceased.  3.  John  Parkhurst,  son  of  one  of  the  daughters  of  said  Abraham 
Browne,  Senr.  4.  The  heirs  of  (?)  Isaac  Lewis,  deceased,  who  were  children  of  another 
dr.  of  said  Abraham  Browne.  5.  William  Lakin,  in  right  of  his  wife,  youngest  daughter 
of  said  Abraham  Browne. 

Owing,  as  they  said,  to  a  change  in  the  government  of  the  Colony,  by  the  coming  over 
of  a  new  Charter,  the  committee  did  not  report  until  Jan.  22.  1693-4.  They  assigned  f 
(a  double  portion)  of  the  estate  to  the  heirs  of  Jonathan,  and  the  other  §  to  the  other  four 
claimants.  At  the  same  time  they  recommended  that  these  four  claimants  should  sell 
their  shares  to  Abraham  Browne,  eldest  son  of  Jonathan,  deceased,  who  was  then  ready 
to  purchase  ;  and  in  that  manner  the  estate  was  settled. 

It  appears  from  the  schedules  of  possessions,  that,  besides  a  pond  of  one  acre,  11  lots  of 
land  were  granted  to  Abraham  Browne,  the  town  surveyor,  and  that  previous  to  1642,  he 
had  purchased  4  other  lots,  amounting  to  39  A.,  one  of  which,  a  30  A.  lot  in  the  Great 
Dividends,  had  been  granted  to  his  kinsman,  John  Browne.  Two  of  the  lots  granted  to 
him  were  homestalls.  The  first,  upon  which  he  probably  settled  at  first,  contained  10  A., 
and  was  at  the  east  of  Mount  Auburn.  His  second  homestall  of  28  A.,  to  which  he  is 
Supposed  to  have  removed  very  early,  was  bounded  on  the  E.  by  the  way  to  the  Little 
Plain  (now  Howard  Street) ;  N.  by  Sudbury  Road  (now  Main  Street) ;  S.  by  the  way  to 
Beaver  Plains,  sometimes  called  the  way  betwixt  lots  (now  Pleasant  Street)  ;  W.  by  his 
own  land.  Two  other  lots  granted  to  him,  one  of  10  A.  and  the  other  of  6  A.,  were  con- 
tiguous to  this  homestall  on  the  West,  and  in  the  schedule  of  1642,  they  were  deemed 
parts  of  the  homestall,*  which  was  then  enrolled  as  40  A.  He  must  have  purchased  other 
adjoining  lands  not  long  afterwards,  as  in  the  final  settlement  of  his  estate  in  1694,  his 
homestall  contained  60  acres.  The  Committee,  appointed  by  the  Court  to  settle  the  estate, 
made  an  Inventory,  in  1694  (of  lands  only),  amounting  to  £187 ;  viz. :  homestall  60  A.  £100 ; 

*  The  next  lot,  adjoining  this  homestall  on  the  west,  was  10  A.  granted  to  Edward  How.  whose  heirs  sold  it  to 
Robert  Harrington.  From  him  it  passed  to  his  son  Edward,  and  probably  afterwards  to  his  grandson  Edward. 
The  next  lot,  west  of  How's,  was  40  A.  granted  to  Rev.  George  Phillips,  bounded  N.  by'Sudbury  Road ;  S.  by  the 
way  betwixt  lots  [Pleasant  Street];  W.  by  the  driftway  (now  Gore  Street).  This  driftway  was  the  boundary 
between  the  "small  lots"  and  the  Beaver  Brook  plowland.  About  1650,  the  heirs  of  Mr.  Phillips  sold  this  lot  to 
Edward  Garfield,  by  whose  family  it  was  held  many  years.  In  later  times,  it  has  been  the  well  known  and 
elegant  residence  of  Governor  Gore,  and  it  is  now  in  the  possession  of  J.  S.  Copley  Greene,  Esq.

remote  meadow,  10  A.,  £12;  salt  marsh,  4  A.,  £20;  farm  land,  107  A.,  £15;  lot  on 
Charles  River,  10  A.,  £10. 

This  is  probably  the  only  instance  (unless  the  grant  to  Deacon  Simon  Stone  be  an  ex- 
ception), where  an  original  grant  has  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  direct  descendants 
of  a  grantee  to  the  present  time.  As  above  stated,  this  property  passed  by  inheritance 
and  purchase,  to  his  grandson,  Capt.  Abraham  Browne.  Although  it  is  stated,  in  the  report 
of  the  committee  for  settling  the  estate,  that  Abraham  "  was  ready  to  purchase"  the  shares 
of  the  other  claimants,  subsequent  transactions  render  it  probable  that  he  acted  in  behalf 
of  the  widow  and  other  heirs  of  his  father,  and  that  he  never  became  the  proprietor  of  the 
whole  homestall  of  60  acres.  From  Capt.  Abraham  B.,  a  part  of  the  land  belonging  to 
him  passed  by  Will  to  his  son  Samuel,  who  occupied  a  part  of  his  house.  After  his  death 
his  son  Samuel,  about  1739,  moved  to  Leicester,  and  not  long  after  this,  the  property  was 
mortgaged  to  Capt.  John  Homans,  who  probably  occupied  it  only  a  few  years,  when  the 
mortgage  was  cancelled  by  Jonathan,  eldest  son  of  Capt.  Abraham.  From  Jonathan  it 
passed  to  his  son  Jonathan,  Jr.,  Esq.  From  him  it  passed  to  his  son  Major  Adam  Brown, 
and  it  is  now,  at  least  a  part  of  it,  in  the  occupancy  of  his  heirs. 

The  dwelling-house,  now  standing,  on  this  ancient  homestall,  is  probably,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  ancient  "  Nathaniel  Bright  house,''  considerably  older  than  any  other  in  the 
town.  The  "new  part,;,  next  the  road,  was  built  and  occupied  by  Capt.  Abraham  B.,  when 
he  relinquished  the  old  or  south  part  to  the  use  of  his  son  Samuel.  The  accompanying 
cut  is  a  view  of  this  house,  as  at  present  seen  from  the  northeast.

(IV.)  Capt.  JOHN  BROWN,  of  Waltham,  m..  July  20,  1732,  ABIGAIL  BRIGHT. 
[78.]  She  d.  in  childbed,  May  4,  1?33,  leaving  one  child.  He  in.  (2d),  July  23, 
1734,  HANNAH,  wid.  of  John  Flagg  [106],  (accidentally  killed  Mar.  14,  1733-4), 
a  twin  dr.  of  John  and  Mary  (Harrington)  Bemis  [Bemis,  28].  He  received  from 
the  town  numerous  offices  and  appointments  of  trust;  was  Selectman  in  1744,  '45, 
'46,  '47,  '48,  and  '52,  and  was  Rep.  in  1748.  He  was  an  innholder  in  1737  and  8. 
Tradition  has  accorded  to  him  the  reputation  of  being  a  man  of  more  than  common 
energy  and  enterprise.  In  1759  his  assessment  was  the  largest,  except  one,  in 
Waltham.  The  land  conveyances  on  record  to  which  he  was  a  party  are  very 
numerous.  In  1760,  we  find  him  in  company  with  Wm.  Stoddard,  Peter  Chardon, 
Samuel  Adams  (the  patriot  of  the  Revolution,  not  his  father,  we  think,  as  Mr. 
Felt  supposes),  Robert  Auchmuty,  John  Ruddock,  Samuel  Reed,  Jona.  Payson, 
John  Lee,  and  Wm.  Rea,  "the  directors  and  some  of  the  partners  in  the  Land 
Bank  Company,  in  their  own  behalf,  and  at  the  request  of  a  great  number  of  the 
partners,"  petitioning  the  General  Court  for  a  lottery,  to  relieve  themselves  from 
the  disastrous  results  of  that  celebrated  association,  which  was  established  20 
years  before  in  Waltham,  under  the  delusive  expectation  of  furnishing  the  people 
a  "better  currency"  than  gold  and  silver,  which  had  become  very  scarce.  [Felt's 
History  Mass.  Currency.]  In  1761  he  moved  to  Weston,  and  the  prestige  of  his 
enterprising  character  prevented  the  Selectmen  of  that  town  from  serving  him  with 
the  customary  notice;  and  the  current  remark  of  the  period,  "  It  is  impossible  for 
Capt.  John  Brown  ever  to  become  poor.''"  is  still  handed  down,  as  is  also  its  want  of 
verification.  In  1770-8  he  resided  in  Newton,  and  returned  to  Weston  probably 
about  1779,  where  he  died  in  1784,  being  in  his  80th  year,  and  in  very  reduced 
circumstances;  the  few  hundred  pounds  realized  in  Continental  money  from  the 
sale  of  his  last  real  estate,  turned  to  dust  and  ashes  in  his  hands. 

He  was  scrupulously  neat  in  his  personal  habits,  and  carried  finish  and  com- 
pleteness in  his  dwelling,  outhouses,  and  fences  to  the  verge  of  extravagance,  as 
was  thought  by  his  more  plodding  cotemporaries.  In  stature  he  was  tall,  and  gen- 
tlemanly in  his  bearing  and  manners.  His  principal  residence,  while  in  Waltham, 
was  the  place  more  recently  known  as  General  Coolidge's,  to  whose  father,  William 
Coolidge,  who  married  Capt.  John  Brown's  niece,  the  latter  sold  it.

nian,  afterwards  Arian;  contracted  a  very  strong  dislike  to  his  early  sentiments, 
and  became  neglectful  of  the  duties  of  his  profession.  In  cold  weather  he

(V.)  JOHN  BROWN,  was  an  ardent  whig,  and  an  uncompromising  persecutor  of 
the  tories,  even  before  the  Revolution  broke  out;  was  one  of  the  Boston  (:  Tea 
Party,"  and  was  engaged,  it  is  said,  in  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  His  stature  was 
6  ft.  2  in.,  and  his  proportions  admirable  for  masculine  beauty  and  power,  in  which 
he  was  almost  unequalled.  But  his  violent  and  ill-regulated  temper,  and  his  way- 
ward habits,  greatly  impaired  his  usefulness  in  after  life.  In  1777,  he  purchased 
of  Oakes  Angier,  12  acres  of  land  in  Newton,  near  Angier's  Corner,  which  he  sold 
in  1786,  to  Wm.  Brown,  of  Boston.  He  afterwards  settled  in  Maine,  where  tie

(V.)  PHINEAS  BROWN,  Esq.,  went  to  Stockbridge  as  early  as  1770  (and  that 
was  his  residence  chiefly  until  1784).  He  was  land  surveyor,  and  for  several 
years  previous  to  the  Revolution  was  engaged  much  of  the  time  in  surveying,  in 
Castleton,  Leicester,  Salisbury,  Middlebury,  Cornwall,  New  Haven,  Panton,  and 
other  towns,  in  what  is  now  die  western  part  of  Vermont,  but  at  that  time  was 
called  the  "  New  Hampshire  Grants."  He  selected  a  beautiful  and  fertile  tract  ot 
land  on  the  east  bank  of  Otter  Creek,  in  the  township  of  New  Haven,  and  com- 
menced preparations  for  a  settlement;  but  being  interrupted  by  the  vicissitudes 
of  the  war,  as  well  as  by  the  active  hostility  of  the  New  York  claimants  (to 
whom,  being  a  surveyor,  he  was  especially  obnoxious),  in  the  memorable  con- 
troversy between  that  State  and  the  settlers  under  New  Hampshire  Grants,  he 
returned  to  Stockbridge  (July  6,  1776),  and  was  soon  after  called  into  service  in 
the  Revolutionary  Army.  He  served  several  months  at  intervals  during  the  war. 
and  was  in  the  battle  of  Saratoga.  He  kept  a  store  for  some  time,  being,  per- 
haps, the  first  trader  in  Stockbridge.  Soon  after  the  close  of  the  war,  he  moved 
his  family  to  Vermont,  arriving  at  New  Haven,  March  10,  1784.  About  1790,  the 
western  part  of  New  Haven  was  annexed  to  the  city  of  Vergennes;  and  in  1796, 
this  part  was  separated  from  Vergennes  and  incorporated  into  a  new  town  by  the 
name  of  Waltham — so  named  from  Mr.  Brown's  native  town  in  Mass.  Mr. 
Brown  was  an  active,  influential  man  in  the  affairs  of  each  of  the  three  towns 
mentioned.  He  repeatedly  represented  New  Haven  in  the  State  Legislature,  ami 
was  a  member  of  the  Convention  for  revising  the  State  Constitution,  in  1786 : 
was  an  Alderman  of  the  city  of  Vergennes  ;  was  a  civil  magistrate  more  than 
twenty  years,  and  continued  to  hold  leading  offices  in  Waltham,  until  physical 
infirmities  compelled  him  to  decline  them.  In  his  religious  tenets,  he  was  a  Con- 
gregationalist,  having  been  thirty-six  years  a  member  of  that  church.  His  tem- 
perament was  ardent;  but  firmness,  with  him  the  offspring  of  clear  perceptions 
and  strong  convictions,  was  a  prominent  feature  of  his  character.  He  was  a 
skilful  surveyor,  a  successful  farmer,  a  good  neighbour,  and  an  intelligent  magis- 
trate and  legislator.  He  is  still  remembered  as  remarkable  for  his  practical  good 
sense,  and  sound,  discriminatingjudgment.    ^-^    >  /

2.  James,  b.  in  C,  Mar.  10,  1787. 

3.  Jacob,  b.  in  C,  July  19,  1789.  He  enlisted  in  the  army  as  a  private  soldier 
at  the  beginning  of  the  war  of  1812,  and  for  his  good  conduct,  as  Orderly 
Sergeant,  at  the  battle  of  Chrystlers  Field,  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
Ensign.  He  served  during  the  whole  of  the  war,  and  "  was  in  nearly  all 
the  hardfought  battles  on  the  Niagara  frontier  in  1813  and  14."  Before  the 
close  of  the  war  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  first  Lieutenant,  and  after- 
wards gradually  rose  to  the  rank  of  Major  of  Infantry,  which  rank  he  held 
many  years. 

With  the  7th  Reg.  of  Infantry,  Major  Brown  was  placed,  by  Gen.  Taylor, 
in  command  of  the  entrenched  Camp  or  Fort  on  the  Rio  Grande,  opposite 
to  Matamoras,  and  which  sustained  a  cannonade  and  bombardment  of  160 
hours  by  the  Mexicans.  At  10  o'clock,  a.m.,  of  May  6,  1846,  during  this 
bombardment,  Major  Brown  was  struck  by  a  shell,  which  shattered  his  leg. 
This  was  amputated  above  the  knee,  and  he  died  on  the  9th.  Gen.  Taylor, 
in  his  official  despatch,  dated  May  9,  1846,  says  :  u  It  affords  me  peculiar 
pleasure  to  report  that  the  field  work  opposite  Matamoras  has  sustained 
itself  handsomely  during  a  cannonade  and  bombardment  of  160  hours. 
But  the  pleasure  is  alloyed  with  profound  regret  at  the  loss  of  its  heroic 
and  indomitable  commander,  Major  Brown,  who  died  to-day  from  the  effect 
of  a  shell.  His  loss  would  be  a  severe  one  to  the  service  at  any  time ;  but 
to  the  army  under  my  orders,  it  is  indeed  irreparable." 

A  writer  in  the  Boston  Journal  says,  '•'  Major  Brown  was  a  noble  speci- 
men of  a  man.  He  was  modest  and  unassuming  in  his  deportment,  and 
possessed  a  heart  overflowing  with  the  milk  of  human  kindness.  As  an 
officer,  he  was  distinguished  for  his  courage,  military  skill,  coolness,  and 
decision  in  the  hour  of  battle.

BROWN. 


"Since  the  peace  of  1815,  Maj.  Brown  has  been  employed  on  the  staff 
a  great  portion  of  the  time.  His  sound  judgment,  his  integrity  and  business 
capacity  rendered  him  a  valuable  officer  in  time  of  peace  as  well  as  in 
war.  He  served  two  or  three  years  in  the  memorable  Florida  campaigns. 
He  passed  some  years  at  Little  Rock,  Arkansas,  engaged  in  matters  con- 
nected with  our  Indian  affairs.  While  there  he  was  chosen  President  of 
the  Bank  of  Arkansas,  an  office  which  he  thought  proper  to  decline  as  in- 
compatible with  his  situation  as  an  officer  of  the  army."  His  body  was 
buried  at  the  foot  of  the  flag-staff  of  the  Fort,  named  Fort  Brown,  in  honour 
of  its  heroic  defence ;  and  the  city  founded  on  its  site  has  been  named 
Brownsville.  His  body  has  since  been  removed  and  reinterred  under  the 
flag-staff  of  the  U.  S.  Barracks  in  Brownsville.  He  m.  Sarah  Smith,  of  the

BULLARD. 

There  was  a  considerable  number  of  early  settlers  in  Massachusetts  of  the  name 
of  Ballard,  and  it  must  now  be  very  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  arrive  at  clear- 
ness and  certainty  in  collecting  and  arranging  genealogies  of  each  ot  them. 
There  is  a  tradition  among  them,  that  eight  brothers  of  this  name  came  early 
and  about  the  same  time  to  America,  viz.  Robert,  Benjamin,  Jonathan,  William, 
John,  Isaac,  Nathaniel,  and  George.  This  name  has  sometimes  been  confounded 
with  Ballard,  and  the  traditions  are  not  reliable.  [See  Farmer  and  Barry.]  There 
were  three  early  settlers  of  Watertown  of  the  name  of  Bullard,  viz.  Robert,  Ben- 
jamin, and  George. 

ROBERT  BULLARD,  husband  of  ANNE,  buried  24,  4,  1639,  aged  40  [Watertown 
records].     No  notice  of  any  children  has  been  discovered. 

BENJAMIN  BULLARD,  who  m.  a  dr.  and  probably  the  only  child  of  Henry 
Thorpe,  of  Wat.;  was  a  proprietor  of  Wat.,  1642.  There  is  no  notice  of  any  chil. 
of  his  in  the  Wat.  records.  Oct.  3,  1673.  he,  then  of  Sherburne,  with  wife  MAR- 
THA, sold,  to  Justinian  Holden,  a  dwelling-house,  with  land,  and  several  other 
parcels  of  land  in  Wat.,  amounting  to  more  than  100  acres.  This  sale  was  the 
next  year  after  the  death  of  Henry  Thorpe,  who  had  occupied  the  house.  [See 
Reg.  of  Deeds,  vol.  v.,  p.  30.]      Had  this  B.  B.  a  first  wife,  named  Sarah?

13  acres  planting  ground,  in  Wat.,  to  Wm.  Paine,  prior  to  1642. 


CHILD. 

Deacon  EPHRAIM  CHILD  came  to  America  in  1630;  was  adm.  freeman  May  18, 
1631,  and  was  probably  one  of  the  first  Deacons  of  the  church  at  Watertown.  He 
was  Rep.  12  years,  between  1646  and  1662,  inclusive;  Selectman  15  years,  be- 
tween 1636  and  1662,  inclusive;  and  Town  Clerk  1651.  '60,  '61,  and  '62.  He  re- 
peatedly received  important  appointments  from  the  General  Court.  [See  Butler, 
p.  17,  and  Worcester  Magazine,  II.  131,  142,  and  149.]  He  was  often  appointed', 
by  the  County  Court,  one  of  the  Commissioners  of  Wat.,  "to  end  small  causes." 
He  d.  Feb.  13,  1662-3,  aged  70,  s.  p.  His  Will,  dated  Nov.  10,  1662,  mentions 
Richard  and  John  Child  [who  were  brothers],  and  Ephraim,  son  of  Benjamin 
Child,  of  Rox.  It  is  probable  that  Richard,  John,  of  Wat.,  and  Benjamin,  of  Rox., 
were  his  nephews.  [Ephraim  Child,  a  son  of  Benjamin,  to  whom  he  bequeathed 
30  acres  of  dividend  land,  and  10  acres  in  Dorchester  Field,  was  slain  by  Indians 
at  Northfield,  Sept.  4,  1675,  and  his  brother  Benjamin,  Jr.,  of  Rox.,  sold  the  30  A. 
dividend  land  to  Benjamin  Peirce.  of  Wat.,  Mar.  2,  1682-3.]  He  bequeathed  "  to 
my  loving  cousin,  William  Bond,"  40  acres  in  the  hither  plain,  whom,  in  con- 
junction with  his  wife.  ELIZABETH,  he  appointed  executor.  His  wid.  Elizabeth, 
in  her  Will,  dated  June  11,  proved  Oct.  1,  1667,  appointed  her  "loving  cousin, 
William  Bond,"  her  sole  executor.  Ephraim  Child,  m.,  in  Nayland,  Suffolk  Co., 
Eng.,  Feb.  8, 1625,  wid.  ELIZABETH  PALMER.  It  is  supposed  that  she  was  a  dr. 
of  Jonas  and  Rose  Bond  of  Bury  St.  Edmund's,  where  she  was  bap.  Mar.  12,  1599, 
and  an  aunt  of  William  Bond,  "her  loving  cousin."  [See  Bond,  p.  47.]  Dea.  E. 
Child  executed  a  deed,  Mar.  15,  1647,  in  favour  of  Elizabeth  Foot,  of  London,  of 
whom  William  Goddard.  of  Wat.,  was  Att'y  in  1665.  The  appraisal  of  his  homestall 
and  the  amount  of  his  Inventory  (£770.  15.)  show  that  he  was  one  of  the  most 
affluent  of  the  first  settlers.  And  the  distribution  of  his  widow's  wardrobe  and 
furniture,  by  her  Will,  shows  that  she  had  some  of  the  elegancies,  as  well  as  the 
comforts  of  life.  £

CLARK  (Clarke). 
Among  the  early  settlers  of  Watertown,  there  were  three  of  the  name  of  Clarke — 
John,  William,  and  Hugh. 

JOHN  CLARKE,  supposed  to  be  the  "Mr.  Clarke."  appointed  Constable  by  the 
Court,  1632,  adm.  freeman  1635,  and  proprietor  of  Watertown  1642.  He  is  sup- 
posed to  be  the  John  Clarke,  physician,  who  went  to  Rhode  Island,  and  was  one 
of  the  proprietors  of  Canonicut  and  of  Providence;  and  that  he  was  the  companion 
of  Nathaniel  Briscoe,  in  England,  in  1652.  [See  Briscoe's  letter,  Mass.  Hist.  Coll., 
3d  series.  Vol.  I. ;  I.  Fiske,  1 ;  and  Winthrop,  I.,  74.] 

WILLIAM  CLARKE,  a  weaver,  aged  27,  and  his  wife,  MARGARET,  aged  21, 
came  over  in  the  spring  of  1635,  in  the  "  Plaine  Joan,"  and  settled  in  Watertown. 
Ap.  1,  1651,  he  sold  to  Timothy  Hawkins  35  acres  of  upland,  which  he  had  bought 
of  Thomas  Arnold.  In  1650  he  bought  60  acres  of  land  of  Thomas  Boyden,  and 
within  a  few  years  afterwards  moved  to  Woburn.  [See  Hist,  and  Gen.  Reg.,  Vol.

wards he  moved  to  Rox.:  was  admitted  freeman  May  30,  1660.  Mem.  Art.  Co.,

(II.)  JOHN  CLARKE,  of  Rox.,  afterwards  of  New  Camb.  (Newton).  His  own 
age,  and  the  date  of  the  m.  of  his  eldest  son,  render  it  very  probable  that  he  had 
three  wives — lhat  by  the  first  he  had  his  son  John. — that  he  m.  (2d),  1680,  LYDIA

COOLIDGE.  165 

COOLIDGE  (Coollidge,  Cooledge,  &c.) 
(I.)  JOHN  COOLIDGE,  adm.  freeman  May  25.  1636,  one  of  the  earliest  proprie- 
tors, 1636-7;  was  a  Selectman  of  Wat.  many  times  between  1636  and  1677,  in- 
clusive: was  Rep.  1658;  and  he  was  often  employed  in  witnessing  Wills,  taking 
Inventories,  and  settling  estates.  The  date  of  his  arrival  has  not  been  ascertained, 
but  it  is  probable  that  he  was  one  of  the  first  settlers,  1630.  His  Will,  dated  Nov. 
19,  1681,  proved  June  16,  1691,  mentions  wife  MARY,  sons  John,  Stephen",  Simon, 
Nathaniel,  and  Jonathan,  and  gr.  drs.  Sarah  and  Mary  Mixer.  Inventory  £237.  7. 
Grace,  wid.  of  Roger  Porter,  in  her  Will  mentions  him  as  her  brother.  Perhaps 
she  has  used  this  term  only  to  denote  Christian  affection.* 

Mr.  Somerby  says,  "The  Coolidge  family  seem  to  have  been  settled  in  Cam- 
bridge, Eng.,  from  a  very  remote  period.  The  name  has  been  written  in  every 
possible  way,  as  Coalyng,  Coalidg,  Colynge,  Cooladge,  &c,  &c.  The  name  first 
appears  in  the  Subsidy  Rolls  for  1327,  where  Walter  and  Ralph  Coalyng  were 
assessed  for  lands  in  Wimpole,  in  Cambridgeshire.  In  the  time  of  Henry  VIII., 
the  family  were  seated  in  Arrington,  and,  judging  from  the  Wills,  were  at  that 
time  of  wealth  and  great  respectability,  belonging  to  the  gentry."  [See  Pedi- 
gree, p.  186.]

FIRMAN. — FISKE. — DAVID    FISKE. 


FIRMAN.— JOHN  FIRMAN  came  over  in  1630,  and  settled  in  Wat.,  where 
his  wigwam  was  burnt,  Nov.  10,  1630.  He  was  adm.  freeman,  May  18,  1631. 
He  returned  to  England,  and  embarked  at  Ipswich  for  N.  Eng.,  Ap.,  1634,  then 
aged  46.  He  was  a  Deacon,  and  was  Selectman  1638.  His  heirs  sold  his  lands 
in  Wat.  to  Barnabas  Farr,  of  Boston,  who,  with  wife  Grace,  sold  them  to  Richard 
Beers,  Feb.  25,  1652-3. 


FISKE  (Fisk,  Frisk). 

There  was  a  considerable  number  of  early  immigrants  of  the  name  of  FISKE, 
who  settled  in  Massachusetts ;  and  there  is  good  reason  to  suppose  that  they 
were  all  descendants  of  Robert  and  Sibil  (Gold)  Fiske,  who  lived  at  Broad  Gates, 
Loxfield.  near  Framlingham,  Co.  Suffolk,  England.  Rev.  John  Fiske,  of  Wenham, 
afterwards  of  Chelmsford,  and  his  brother  William,  of  Wenham,  were  grandsons 
of  William,  the  eldest  son  of  Robert  and  Sibil.  David,  of  Wat ,  was  a  grandson 
of  Jeffrey,  the  2d  son  of  Robert  and  Sibil.  There  is  a  tradition  in  the  family, 
that  a  brother  of  David  (1  Nathaniel),  left  England  with  him,  and  died  on  the 
passage  ;  and  that  he  was  the  father  of  Nathan  and  John,  of  Wat.  [Both  of  these 
had  sons  named  Nathaniel.  It  is  also  to  be  observed,  that  Nathan  named  his 
eldest  son  Nathan,  for  himself:  his  second  son,  John,  for  his  supposed  brother,  of 
Wat. ;  his  third,  David,  for  his  supposed  uncle,  of  Wat.,  and  the  fourth,  Nathaniel, 
for  his  supposed  father.]  James,  of  Haverhill,  and  Phinehas,  of  Salem,  were 
grandsons  of  Thomas,  3d  son  of  R.  &  S.  [See  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  3d  Ser.,  Vol.  X., 
p.  156;  also,  Geneal.  Reg.,  Vol.  IV.,  p.  180.]  Many  of  their  descendants  have 
changed  the  original,  correct  orthography  (Fiske),  for  Fisk.  As  it  would  be  diffi- 
cult to  ascertain  the  usage  in  all  cases,  I  shall  follow  the  former.  It  is  the  one 
that  has  usually  been  adopted  by  the  best  educated  and  most  intelligent. 

It  is  to  be  hoped,  that  some  one  or  more  of  the  descendants  of  Robert  and 
Sibil,  may  soon  be  found,  possessing  so  much  family  respect  and  attachment, 
and  such  a  liberal  spirit,  as  will  lead  to  a  thorough  search  of  the  English  records 
for  information  concerning  the  origin  and  early  history  of  this  ancient,  respectable, 
and,  in  this  country,  very  numerous  family.* 

*  I  have  learned,  since  this  was  written,  that  a  gentleman  of  Boston  has  become  earnestly  engaged 
in  the  genealogy  of  the  FISKES;  and  that  he  finds  others  ready  to  co-operate.

several  circumstances  combined,  render  it  extremely  probable  that  there  was  a 
mistake  in  the  name.  Henry  Freeman  was  one  of  the  appraisers  (June  28. 
1671),  not  an  heir  of  the  estate,  of  the  first  Isaac  Stearns,  the  father  of  his  first 
wife.] 

2.  Samuel,  b.  May  11,  1638.  He  probably  went  early  to  Eastham.  There  was  a

Jour.,  I.,  41 ;  also,  Gen.  Reg.,  V.  45.] 

Thomas  and  Mary  Freeman,  had  Thomas,  b.  December  17,  1664.  [Perhaps  this 
should  be  Henry  and  Mary.]

GARFIELD  (Gearfield,  Gerfil,  &c.) 
In  the  early  records  this  name  is  generally  written  Gearfield,  sometimes  Gardrield, 
and  Gerfeld.  It  rarely  occurs  in  the  Watertown  records  subsequent  to  the  incor- 
poration of  Waltham.  SAMUEL  GARFIELD  was  a  proprietor  1642,  and  had  a 
son  Samuel,  who  was  apprenticed  to  John  Flemming,  Nov.  1,  1653.  He  was  pro- 
bably a  son  of  the  first  Edward  Garfield,  but  there  is  no  further  record  of  him. 


EDWARD  GARFIELD  died  in  Wat.,  June  14,  1672,  aged  97.     He  was  probably 
the  father  of  Samuel,  above  mentioned,  and  of  Edward,  next  following.

HAMMOND. 

The  families  of  the  name  of  Hammond,  in  New  England,  are  most,  if  not  all 
of  them,  descended  from  two  brothers,  viz.:  William,  of  Watertown,  and  Tho- 
mas, first  of  Hingham,  and  afterwards  of  Newton.  The  following  pedigree  of  the 
family  in  England,  I  have  received  from  Mr.  S.  Hammond  Russell,  through  the 
obliging  attention  of  Dr.  T.  W.  Harris,  of  Cambridge. 

THOIvIAS  HAMMOND,  of  Cavenham,  Co.  Suffolk;  m.,  May  14,  1573,  ROSE 
TRIPPE.     He  was  buried  Nov.  24,  1589.     Chil., 


1.  Elizabeth,  bap.  Ap.  1,  1574. 

2.  William,  bap.  Oct.  30,  1575;  "settled  in  New  England"  [Watertown];  m., 
June  9,  1605,  Elizabeth  Payne.  (?  Penn.)     Chil., 

1.   William,  bap.  Sept.  20,  1607.     2.  Anne,  bap.  Nov.  19,  1609. 
3.  John,  bap.  Dec.  5,  1611.     4.  Anne,  bap.  July  14,  1616. 

5.  Thomas,  bap.  Sept.  17,  1618,  of  Wat.  [2.] 

6.  Elizabeth,  b.  about  1619  (aged  15  in  Ap.  1634);  m. House. 

7.  Sarah,  b.  about  1624  (aged  10  in  Ap.,  1634). 

8.  John,  b.  about  1627  (aged  7  in  Ap.,  1634),  of  Wat.  [8.] 

9.  Benjamin.     See  Farmer.     Probably  he  was  not  the  youngest  child,  and  he 
is  not  mentioned  in  his  father's  Will. 

3.  Rose,  bap.  Ap.  22,  1578.     4.  Martha,  bap.  Nov.  6,  1579.

7.  Thomas,  bap.  Jan.  9,  1686,  of  Hingham,  afterwards  of  Newton.  [See  51.  p.  272.] 


(I.)   WILLIAM  HAMMOND,  eldest  son  of  Thomas  and  Rose  [f3],  probably 
came  to  America  previous  to  the  year  1634,  as  he  does  not  appear  to  have  ac-

companied  his  wife  and  children  that  year.  Probably  he  did  not  settle  immedi- 
ately in  Watertown,  as  he  was  not  a  proprietor  in  Feb.,  1636-7,  but  he  was  so  in 
1642.  His  wife,  ELIZABETH,  aged  47,  and  dr.  Elizabeth,  aged  15  years,  dr. 
Sarah,  aged  10  years,  and  son  John,  aged  7  years,  embarked  at  Ipswich,  Eng., 
in  the  ship  Francis,  Ap.  1634.  [See  the  foregoing  pedigree  for  his  marriage,  and 
the  names  and  ages  of  his  children.]  He  was  adm.  freeman  May  25,  1636,  and 
was  selectman  1648.  He  d.  in  Wat.,  Oct.  8,  1662,  aged  90,  and  his  wid.  Elizabeth, 
d.  Sept.  14,  1670,  "aged  about  90.''"  [It  will  be  observed  that  this  age  does  not 
correspond  with  that  given  at  her  embarkation.  Probably  the  latter  is  the  correct 
one.]     His  Will,  dated  July  1,  proved  Dec.  16,  1662,  mentions  wife  Elizabeth;  son 

John;  grandson  Thomas,  son  of  his  son  Thomas;   drs.  Elizabeth  House,  

Barnes,  and  Sarah  Smith.  In  a  suit,  in  1652,  Thomas  Hammond  vs.  John  Bridge, 
it  appears  that  H.  had  an  uncle,  Page. 


(II.)  THOMAS  HAMMOND,  son  of  William  [f6],  m.,  about  1654,  HANNAH 
CROSS.  [See  Cross.]  He  d.'  Dec.  10,  1655.  His  Will,  dated  Nov.  6,  1655,  men- 
tions his  wife  Hannah,  dr.  of  Hannah  Cross;  and  he  provided  for  an  expected  post- 
humous child.  His  wid.  d.  Mar.  24,  1656-7.  By  her  Will,  dated  Mar.  19,  1656-7, 
she  gave  to  her  mother  half  the  rent  of  the  Cross  farm  (in  Ipswich).  To  John  Sher- 
man, and  to  each  of  his  chil.  £5;  to  John  Livermore  £4.  12 ;  the  remainder  to  her 
mother  and  John  Sherman,  in  trust  for  her  son,  who  was  committed  to  their  care.

Tainter,  and  Anthony  White),  dated  Dec.  22,  1655.  House,  barn,  and  upland 
bought  of  John  Stowers,  £120.  Cross  farm  in  Ipswich,  with  7  cows  and  2  oxen, 
£200.  Housing  and  land  in  England,  at  Lavingham,  renting  £14  per  year,  £120.

HARRINGTON  (Herrington,  Errington,  Arrington). 
ROBERT  HARRINGTON.  His  name  is  the  last  on  the  list  of  proprietors,  made 
out  1642-44.  He  then  owned  a  homestall,  "given  him  by  Thomas  Hastings." 
This  gift  renders  it  probable  that  he  was  a  kinsman  of  Dea.  Hastings.  He  was 
adm.  freeman.  May  27, 1663,  and  hem.,  Oct.  1,  1649  (?  48),  SUSANNA  GEORGE, 
b.  1632,  who'd.  July  6,  1694,  and  he  d.  May  17,  1707.  In  his  Will,  dated 
Jan.  1,  1704-5  (the  day  before  the  3d  m.  of  his  dr.  Susanna),  he  mentions  his 
sons  John,  Daniel,  Benjamin,  Samuel,  Thomas,  Edward  (his  '•'  youngest  son,"  to 
whom  he  gave  his  homestead),  and  drs.  Susanna  Beers,  Mary  Bemis,  Sarah 
Winship;  Joseph,  son  of  "  my  son  Joseph,  deceased,"  and   dr.-in-law   Joanna 


HARRINGTON.

Ward,  late  wife  of  his  son  Joseph.  His  Inventory  mentions  16  lots  of  land, 
amounting  to  642£  acres,  and  appraised  at  £717.  Dec.  24,  1684,  he  bought  of 
Jeremiah  Dummer,  a  goldsmith,  of  Boston,  and  Anna,  his  wife,  for  £90,  the 
West  or  S.  W.  half  (250  acres)  of  the  Oldham  Farm,  where  some  of  his  descend- 
ants have  continued  to  reside  until  the  present  time.  It  was  bounded  W.  by 
Joseph  Garfield;  N.  by  Richard  Cutting,  wid.  Sarah  Fiske,  and  said  Garfield;  E. 
by  Abraham  Gale  and  John  Gale;  S.  by  Charles  River.  Sept.  28.  1685,  he  gave 
to  his  son  Joseph,  55  acres  of  land,  which  he  bought  of  Simon  Cooledge,  Jan. 
29,  1679-80,  which  he  (S.  C.)  had  bought  of  Simon  Stone,  and  which  he  (S.  S.) 
had  bought  of  the  wid.  and  heirs  of  Rev.  Henry  Green,  to  whom  it  had  been 
granted  by  the  town.  It  is  very  probable  that  all  the  families  of  the  name  of 
Harrington  in  New  England,  are  descended  from  Robert,  of  Watertown.  They 
are  very  numerous  and  widely  dispersed.  There  was  a  Richard  Harrington,  or 
Arrington,  of  Charlestown,  in  1643;  but  I  have  not  discovered  that  he  left  any 
descendants,  bearing  his  name,  or  that  he  was  related  to  Robert.

JOHN  HASTINGS. 

The  following  brief  record  of  the  family  of  John  Hastings,  of  Camb.,  is  here  in- 
serted, as  it  contains  a  few  intermarriages  with  Watertown  families.  It  is  the  re- 
sult of  materials  casually  gathered  in  the  course  of  other  researches.  A  much 
more  full  and  authentic  genealogy  of  this  family  may  be  expected  in  due  time 
from  Rev.  Lucius  K.  Paige.  Whether  there  was  any  consanguinity  between  Dea. 
Thomas  Hastings,  of  Wat.,  and  John  Hastings,  of  Camb..  has  not  been  discovered. 
JOHN  HASTINGS  settled  first  in  Braintree,  and  was  adm.  freeman  May  10,  1643. 
He  was  dismissed  from  Braintree,  and  was  adm.  to  the  church  in  Camb.,  Feb.. 
1656.  His  Will,  dated  July  26,  1657,  mentions  wife  ANNE;  son  Walter;  son-in-

JENISON   (Jennison.  Jennings.     By  the  later  generations  always  written 
Jennison). 

There  were  two  early  settlers  of  Wat.,  of  the  name  of  JENISON,  William  and 
Robert,  who  were  brothers. 

WILLIAM  JENISON  was  one  of  those  who  first  signified  their  desire,  Oct. 
19,  1630,  to  be  admitted  freemen,  and  he  was  adm.  the  next  May.  He  usually 
had  the  prefix  ':  Mr. ;"  was  mem.  of  the  Artillery  Co.,  1637;  Captain  of  the 
train  band,  1638;  Selectman,  1635  to  '42,  and  '44,  and  was  Rep.,  1637,  to  '42. 
and  '45.  He  commanded  one  of  the  companies  sent,  in  1636,  to  avenge  the 
murder  of  Mr.  John  Oldham,  by  the  Pequod  Indians,  at  Black  Island.  About 
1645,  he  sold  his  homestead  to  Rev.  John  Knowles  (who  afterwards  sold  it  to 
William  Bond,  Esq.),  and  not  long  after  returned  to  England,  where  he  proba-

bly  d.  It  appears  by  Winthrop  (I.,  133),  that  he  had  been  a  resident  of  Ber- 
muda. No  notice  has  been  discovered  of  either  wife  or  children  of  Capt.  Jeni- 
son.     [For  a  view  of  his  character  and  worth,  see  Winthrop  II.,  176.]

(I.)  ROBERT  JENISON  was  probably  several  years  younger  than  his  brother 
William.  His  name  is  not  on  the  earliest  list  of  proprietors  (Feb.  1636-7),  but 
he  had  a  daughter  b.  in  Wat.,  Ap.,  1637,  which  is  the  earliest  notice  of  him 
that  I  have  discovered.  He  was  adm.  freeman,  May,  1645.  His  wife  ELIZA-

George  Reed,  son  Samuel,  whom  he  calls  his  third  son,  and  grandsons  William 
and  Robert  Jenison.  To  his  grandsons  he  gave  land  that  formerly  belonged  to 
his  brother  William.  Although  he  mentions  Samuel  as  his  third  son,  it  is  not 
probable  that  his  first  and  second  son  survived  him  or  left  chil.

full  and  accurate  as  it  ought  to  be;  correcting  all  the  errors  and  supplying  all  its  defects,  adding  such

Settled  in  Falmouth,  near  his  brother  Phinehas,  with  whom  he  was  con- 
nected in  business.  He  enlisted  as  a  Captaiu  in  Col.  Noble's  regiment  for 
an  expedition  against  Quebec  in  1746,  but  the  ships  and  troops  from  Eng- 
land did  not  arrive,  which  defeated  the  project,  and  Col.  Noble  was  ordered 
with  his  regiment  to  Minus,  now  Horton,  in  Nova  Scotia,  to  keep  the  neutral 
French,  who  lived  there,  in  subjection.  The  French  still  held  a  fort  at  Cum- 
berland Bay.  A  considerable  detachment  was  sent  from  that  fort,  more 
than  a  hundred  miles,  to  attack  Col.  Noble's  party  by  surprise,  in  a  heavy 
snow-storm,  in  the  night  of  Jan.  7,  1746.  The  enemy  got  very  near  the 
Col's,  quarters,  where  he  and  most  of  the  officers  were,  before  they  were 
discovered  by  the  sentinel  at  the  door,  by  reason  of  the  violence  of  the 
storm.  The  sentinel  gave  the  alarm  and  fled.  Capt.  Jones  immediately  met 
the  enemy  at  the  door,  and  was  killed.  They  entered  the  house  and  killed 
some  of  the  officers  before  they  were  out  of  bed.  Col.  Noble  was  among 
the  slain.  The  main  body  of  the  force,  at  some  distance  from  the  Col's, 
quarters,  soon  after  capitulated.     Capt.  Jones  left  a  wid.,  2  sons,  and  2  drs.

KEMBALL  (Kemble,  Kimball). 

The  name  Kimball,  now  borne  by  so  many  families  in  this  country,  is  undoubt- 
edly a  corruption,  or  variation  of  Kemball  or  Kemble,  a  common  name  in  Eng- 
land. In  the  Watertown  records  it  was  almost  uniformly  written  Kemball  for 
several  generations. 


Embarked  at  Ipswich,  Eng.,  for  N.  Eng.,  Ap.  10,  1634,  in  the  Elizabeth,  William 
Andrews,  Master,  RICHARD  KEMBALL,  aged  39,  with  wife  URSULA,  and  chil., 
1.  Hexry,  aged  15.  2.  Elizabeth,  aged  13.  3.  Richard,  aged  11.  4.  Mary, 
aged  9.  5.  Martha,  aged  5.  6.  John,  aged  3  ;  and  7.  Thomas,  aged  1  year.  He 
settled  first  in  Watertown,  of  which  he  was  a  proprietor,  1636-7,  and  was  adm. 
freeman,  May  6,  1635.  He  removed  to  Ipswich,  probably  in  1637,  as  in  that 
year,  Feb.  23,  a  house-lot  was  then  granted  to  him.  His  son  Richard  was  also  a 
proprietor  of  Ipswich,  in  1648.  It  was  probably  his  son,  "  Henry  Kemball,  Jr.," 
who  was  proprietor  of  a  homestall  and  3  other  lots  in  Wat.,  1642.  and  who  m.,  in 
Wat,  Nov.  13,  1650,  Sarah  Farwell.  Richard  Kemball,  Senior,  was  probably  the 
ancestor  of  most  of  the  numerous  families  of  the  name  of  Kimball  in  New  Eng- 
land. 

Also  embarked,  at  the  same  time,  in  the  same  ship,  HENRY  KEMBALL,  aged 
44,  with  wife  SUSANNA,  aged  35,  and  chil.,  1.  Elizabeth,  aged  4  yrs.  2.  Su- 
sanna, aged  18  months,  and  Richard  Cutting,  aged  11  years.  He  was  probably 
an  elder  brother  of  Richard  Kemball.     He  settled  permanently  in  Watertown.

JOHN  LAWRENCE,  a  carpenter,  settled  there  as  early  as  the  beginning  of  1636  ;

LEARNED  (Lemot,  Lamed,  Larnit,  &c.) 
WILLIAM  LEARNED  *  was  admitted  freeman.  May  14,  1634,  and  his  name, 
and  that  of  his  wife  GOODETH  [?  Judith,  or  good  wife],  are  the  first  two  on  the 
list  of  members  of  the  present  First  Church,  of  Charlestown.  "  1632,  10  mo., 
day  6,  William  Learned  and  Goodeth,  his  wife,  were  admitted."  The  follow- 
ing extract  from  the  town  records  of  Charlestown.  is  an  evidence  of  how  highly 
he  was  esteemed  for  his  intelligence  and  virtue :  "  1638,  26,  2d  month,  Mr. 
Increase  Nowell,  Mr.  Zachariah  Sims,  Mr.  John  Green,  Mr.  John  Harvard,  Left. 
Ralph  Sprague,  and  William  Learned,  were  desired  to  consider  of  some  things 
tending  towards  a  body  of  Lawes."     Records,  p.  20. 

He  was  a  subscriber  to  the  town  orders  for  Woburn,  drawn  up  at  Charles- 
town, Dec.  18,  1640;  was  one  of  the  seven  original  members  of  the  church  in 
Woburn,  which  was  gathered,  Aug.  14,  1642-3;  was  one  of  the  first  board  of 
Selectmen,  chosen  Ap.  13,  1644,  and  was  re-elected  the  following  year.  He 
was  also  elected  constable  (who  was  in  those  days  the  collector  of  taxes),  for 
the  years,  1644  and  '45.  He  d.  in  Woburn,  Mar.  1.  1645-6,  two  days  before 
the  third  election  of  town  officers.  He  left  a  wid.,  who  had  an  annuity  during 
her  widowhood.  His  accounts,  as  collector,  were  in  part  settled  by  his  son  Isaac, 
Sept.  29,  1646,  and  finally  settled,  Oct.  4,  1648. 

The  name  (Learned),  has  been  varied  much  by  the  bad  orthography  of  early 
times,  as  Lerned,  Lernot,  Lamed,  Larnit,  &c,  and  many  of  his  descendants  now 
write  it,  Larned. 

His  son  Isaac  was  doubtless  born  in  England,  and  went  with  his  father  from 
Charlestown  to  Woburn.  He  was  an  only  child,  so  far  as  I  have  ascertained, 
and  all  of  the  families  of  the  name  of  Learned  and  Larned  in  this  country,  so 
far  as  known,  are  descended  from  him.  Wid.  Sarah  Learned,  d.  in  Maiden, 
24,  11,  1660,  and  the  Inventory  of  wid.  Jane  Learned,  of  Maiden,  deceased,  was 
dated  12  mo.,  1660.  These  records  probably  relate  to  the  same  person.  Of  their 
(or  her)  affinity  to  William  Learned,  I  know  nothing. 

*  Since  the  materials  for  this  genealogy  were  collected,  Joseph  G.  E.  Larned,  Esq.,  of  New  Haven, 
has  taken  up  the  matter,  as  a  special  subject  of  investigation,  and  is  pursuing  it  more  thoroughly  and 
extensively  than  it  would  be  in  my  power  to  do.  I  hope  that  all  who  are  able  will  render  him  their 
ready  co-operation. 


(II.)  ISAAC  LEARNED,  m..  July  9,  1646,  MARY  STEARNS,  eldest  child  of 
Isaac  and  Mary  Stearns,  of  Wat.  [I.  Stearns,  2,  I.]  The  marriage  is  recorded 
in  Woburn  as  follows:  "  Isaac  Larned  and  Mary  Starnes,  married,  9,  5  mo., 
1646."  In  the  county  record,  the  names  are  Learned  and  Sternes.  He  settled 
first  in  Woburn.  April  2,  1652,  he  sold  his  house  and  lands  in  Woburn,  to 
Bartholomew  Pierson,  of  Watertown,  and  moved  to  Chelmsford,  where  he  was 
a  Selectman,  and  where  he  d.  Nov.  27,  1657.  Inventory,  dated  Dec.  7,  1657,

LIVERMORE. 

JOHN  LIVERMORE,*  probably  the  ancestor  of  all  the  Livermores  in  the  United 
States,  embarked  at  Ipswich,  Eng.,  for  New  England,  in  Ap.,  1634,  then  aged 
28,  in  the  Francis,  John  Cutting,  master.  He  was  admitted  freeman,  May  6, 
1635.  On  the  list  of  freemen,  his  name  is  written  Leatheitnore,  and  in  one  or 
more  documents,  with  his  signature,  the  scrivener  wrote  it  Litherrnore.  He  was 
by  trade  a  potter;  was  repeatedly  a  Selectman,  and  had  other  offices  of  trust. 
It  is  probable  that  he  did  not  settle  immediately  in  Watertown,  as  his  name  is 
not  on  the  list  of  proprietors  "then  inhabiting,"  Feb.,  1636-7;  but  he  was  there 
in  1642.  There  is  a  tradition  that  he  came  over  without  his  wife,  and  that 
afterwards  she  came  over,  with  one  or  more  children.  There  is  also  a  tradi- 
tion that  there  is  a  large  sum  in  the  English  funds,  belonging  to  the  heirs  of 
the  first  John  Livermore,  which  they  might  obtain,  if  they  could  furnish  a  legal 
proof  of  their  descent.  What  ground  there  is  for  this  tradition  I  know  not. 
Attempts  have  been  made  to  establish  the  title,  but  without  success.  He  d.  Ap. 
14,  1684,  aged  78.  His  Will,  dated  Jan.  10,  1682-3,  proved  June  16,  1684,  men- 
tions wife  GRACE,  and  the  following  chil.:  eldest  son  John;  the  three  youngest 
chil.,  of  John  Coolidge,  by  his  daughter,  d. ;  Daniel,  Elizabeth,  Sarah,  Martha, 
Samuel,  Nathaniel,  Hannah  (Anna),  and  Grace ;  chil.  of  Samuel ;  son-in-law  James 
Townsend,  and  his  son  James ;  only  one  dr.  then  living.  His  Inventory,  dated

*  The  parentage  of  the  first  John  Livermore,  of  Watertown.  lias  not  been  conclusively  ascer- 
tained: but  there"  is  reason  to  suppose  that  he  came  from  Little  Thurloe,  Co.  of  Suffolk.  Little  and 
Great  Thurloe  are  two  adjoining  Parishes,  situated  about  7  miles  northwest  of  Clare.  There  was 
a  John  Livermore  baptized  there,  Sept.  30,  1604,  which  would  make  him  one  year  older  than  the 
age  assigned  to  the  emigrant  who  settled  in  Watertown.  The  following  is  the  brief  pedigree  de- 
rived from  those  Parish  registers  : 

PETER  LIVERMORE.  of  Little  Thurloe,  in  the  Co.  of  Suffolk,  m.,  June  3.  1594,  MARA.BELLA

The  Will  of  his  wid.  GRACE,  dated  Dec.  19,  1690,  proved  June  16,  1691, 
mentions  her  son  and  dr.,  Abraham  and  Martha  Parker,  of  Chelmsford,  where 
she  died ;  also,  son  John  Coolidge,  gr.  son  James  Townsend,  her  sons  John, 
Nathaniel,  and  Samuel,  but  not  Daniel.  Her  name  repeatedly  occurs  in  the 
Court  Records  as  "a  midwife.''      The    birth  of   only  one  child  is  recorded  in 


Watertown  records.      William  Perry  and  wife  Anna,  of  Wat.,  in  a  petition  to 
the  County  Court,  1682.  mention  "  our  sister  Livermore,  midwife,  and  our  sister 

than  an   expression  of   Chris 


Chinery."     Whether  this  was   anything  more  than  an   expression  of   Christian 
affection,  has  not  been  ascertained.

[My  friend  Dr.  Thaddeus  William  Harris,  Librarian  of  Harvard  University, 
has  nearly  ready  for  the  press  a  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  Capt.  Hugh 
Mason;  and  it  may  be  expected  to  be  a  model  for  works  of  this  kind.  The 
plan  of  this  work  seems  to  require  the  insertion  of  the  following  brief  gene- 
alogy, on  account  of  its  numerous  connexions  with  other  families.  But  no  one, 
interested  in  such  inquiries,  or  in  this  family,  should  be  satisfied  with  this  brief 
article,  which  is  considerably  less  extended  than  it  would  have  been,  except 
for  that  expected  work.] 


(I.)  Capt.  HUGH  MASON,  a  tanner,  one  of  the  very  first  settlers  of  Watertown. 
was  adm.  freeman,  Mar.  4,  1634-5;  Rep.  1644,  '45,  '60,  '61,  '64,  '71,  '74,  '75. 
'76,  and  '77;  Selectman,  29  years,  between  1639  and  1678,  inclusive;  a  Lieut, 
as  early  as  1649,  and  made  Captain,  May  5,  1652.  He  was,  for  many  years, 
one  of  the  three  Commissioners  appointed  by  the  County  Court  to  determine 
small  cases.  [This  was  before  the  appointment  of  Justices  of  the  Peace.]  Oct. 
30,  1657,  he  was  appointed  by  the  Court,  one  of  a  Committee  to  attend  to  the 
defects  in  several  bridges  in  the  County.  Dec.  18,  1660,  he  was  appointed  on 
a  Committee  to  take  account  of  John  Steadman,  County  Treasurer,  and  make 
a  levy,  &c.  It  has  been  conjectured  that  he  was  a  brother  of  Capt.  John  Mason, 
the  distinguished  Pequot  warrior.  He  d.  October  10,  1678,  a^ed  73.  By  wife 
ESTHER,  who  d.  May  1,  1692,  he  had  7  chil.    [See  Barry,  p.  298.]

larger  than  Beaver  Brook.  He,  and  Mr.  Oldham,  were  chosen,  by  Wat.,  in 
1632,  to  advise  with  the  Governor  and  Assistants,  about  the  raising  of  Public

1644,  or  '45.  Whether  he  brought  any  children  with  him  from  England,  be- 
sides his  son  Thomas,  has  not  been  ascertained.  By  wife  JANE,  he  had,  in  Wat.,

the  reader  is  referred  to  that  very  valuable  work,  entitled  "  Memorial  of  the  Morses," 
by  Rev.  Abner  Morse,  published  in  Boston  in  1850,  with  a  large  supplement  thereto 
published  the  ensuing  year.  It  contains  numerous  biographical  and  historical 
sketches,  and  several  portraits  of  distinguished  individuals.  The  materials  for  the 
following  brief  genealogy  were  collected  several  years  previous  to  the  date  of  that 
work,  and  the  plan  of  this  work  requires  it  to  be  inserted  here,  on  account  of  its 
numerous  connexion  with  other  Watertown  families.]

OLDHAM. 

It  is  not  known  to  the  writer  in  what  year  Mr.  JOHN  OLDHAM  came  to  Ame- 
rica; but  it  must  have  been  prior  to  1628  ;  for  in  that  year  the  Governor  of  Ply- 
mouth intrusted  him  with  the  charge  of  Morton,  the  Merry  Mount  rioter,  and  he 
went  to  England  in  1628.  It  was  in  the  same  year  that  Mr.  Oldham  and  John 
Dorrill  obtained  of  John  Gorges  a  lease  of  a  tract  of  land  which  embraced  most  of 
the  territory  of  the  present  cities  of  Charlestown,  and  Cambridge,  and  of  Summer- 
ville,  and  probably  a  small  part  of  Wat.  [See  Frothingham's  Hist,  of  Charlestown, 
pp.  10,  11,  15,  17.]  The  above-mentioned  lease  was  not  valid,  and  perhaps  it  was 
in  consequence  thereof,  that  the  General  Court  granted  him  a  farm  of  500  A.  in 
Watertown.  Ap.  1,  1634.  This  was  long  known  as  the  "  Oldham  farm,"  and  after- 
wards as  the  Dummer  farm.  June  2,  1641,  after  the  decease  of  Oldham,  the  Gen. 
Court  ordered  said  land  "to  be  laid  out  for  Matthew  Cradock/*' of  London,  to 
whom  Oldham  was  indebted.  This  farm  then  passed  successively  into  the  pos- 
session of  Simon  Bradstul,  of  Ipswich,  Thomas  Mayhew,  of  Wat.,  and  Richard 
Dummer,  of  Newbury.  The  town  attempted  to  invalidate  Mr.  Dummer's  title; 
but  by  a  vote  of  the  town,  passed  Oct.  24,  1659,  which  was  accepted  by  the  Court, 
his  title  was  confirmed,  and  the  controversy  ended. 

This  farm  was  between  Waltham  Plain  and  Stoney  Brook,  bounded  on  the  S. 
E.  by  Charles  River,  and  it  included  Mount  Feake.  Dec.  2,  1661.  Richard  Dummer 
and  wife  Frances  sold  the  N.  E.  half  (250  A.)  of  the  farm  to  Richard  Gale,  whose 
descendants  have  retained  possession  of  a  part  of  it  to  a  very  recent  date.  Dec.  24, 
1684,  Jeremie  Dummer,  of  Boston,  son  of  Richard,  sold  the  other  half  (250  A.)  of 
the  farm  to  Robert  Harrington  for  £90. 

Mr.  Oldham  was  adm.  freeman  May  18.  1631,  and  he  was  the  first  Rep.  of  Wat., 
1634.  In  1632,  he  and  Mr.  John  Masters  were  chosen  by  Wat.  to  advise  with  the 
Governor  and  assistants  about  the  raising  of  public  stock,  &c.  [Winthrop  I.,  76.] 
Aug.,  1632,  his  house,  near  the  weare,  in  Wat.,  was  burnt.  He  was  murdered,  in 
July,  1636,  at  Black  Island,  by  the  Pequod  Indians,  and  this  murder  was  the  im- 
mediate cause  of  the  exterminating  Pequod  war.  [See  Winthrop  I.,  189,  and  Hin- 
man,  p.  58.] 

ONGE  (Ong). 
Wid.  FRANCES  ONG  was  proprietor  Feb.,  1636-7,  and  was  buried  Nov.  12,  1638, 
aged  55.  She  was  probably  the  mother  of  Simon  Ong,  b.  1624,  of  Jacob,  and  per- 
haps of  Mary  Ong,  who  embarked  at  Ipswich,  Ap.,  1634,  aged  27.  Simon  Ong 
lived  on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River,  on  land  bought  of  John  Fuller,  who  at- 
tempted to  reclaim  it,  but  without  success.  His  Inventory,  dated  Nov.  8,  1678, 
and  his  estate  admin,  by  his  brother  Jacob,  then  of  Wat.,  soon  after  of  Groton.

PARK  (Parks,  Parke,  Peirks). 

Park  is  probably  the  correct  orthography;  but  Parks  has  perhaps  obtained  the 
most  prevalent  usage. 

(I.)  RICHARD  PARK,  was  a  proprietor  of  Camb.  in  1636;  of  Camb.  Farms 
(Lex.)  in  1642,  and  he  settled  in  Camb.  Village  (Newton),  about  1647.  He 
owned  a  large  tract  of  land  (600  acres),  bounded  west  by  the  Fuller  farm,  north 
by  Charles  River,  east  by  the  Dummer  farm,  and  east  and  southeast  by  Edward 
Jackson's.  In  1657,  Mr.  Edward  Jackson,  Dea.  John  Jackson,  and  Dea.  Samuel 
Hyde,  and  Richard  Parks,  were  a  Committee  to  lay  out  and  settle  the  high- 
ways in  Cambridge  Village.  His  Will,  dated  July  12,  1665,  wit.  by  Elder  Wis-

tory, dated  Aug.  19,  1665,  £872.  Mr.  Francis  Jackson  says,  his  wid.  Sarah 
was  living  at  Duxbury  in  1668.  I  had  previously  supposed  that  the  widow 
Ann  Parks,  who  d.  1708,  aged  93,  was  his  relict.  [See  "Brief  Notice  of  the 
Settlement,"  and  early  settlers  of  Newton,  by  Francis  Jackson,  Esq.]

PAYNTER.— See  Nevi 


PEABODY  (Pebody).     See  Smith,  31. 


PEIRCE  (Pierce,  Pearce,  Perce,  Peers,  Pers,  &c.) 

The  orthography  of  the  name  of  this  family  is  much  and  often  varied  in  the 
records.  That  adopted  here  has  been  generally  used  ;  but  many,  especially  of 
the  later  generations,  have  adopted  Pierce,  which  is  probably  the  correct  ortho 
graphy. 


(I.)  JOHN  PEIRCE,  a  weaver,  of  Wat.,  adra.  freeman,  Mar.,  1637-8.  His  Will, 
not  naming  his  chil.,  was  dated  Mar.  4,  1667-8,  and  he  d.  Aug.  19,  1661.  His 
wid.  ELIZABETH,  d.  Mar.  12,  1666-7.  Her  Will,  dated  Mar.  5,  proved  Ap.  2, 
1667,  mentions  son  Anthony  (sole  exe'r),  son  Robert  (adm.  freeman,  May  13, 
1642),  son  John,  dr.  Esther  Morse  (wife  of  the  first  Joseph  Morse,  of  Wat.),  dr. 
Mary  Coldam,  gr.  drs.  Mary  and  Esther  Ball,  chil.  of  her  dr.  Elizabeth.  [See  Ball, 
3.]  It  is  probable  that  her  son  Robert  settled  in  Woburn.  Perhaps  her  son  John, 
was  the  one  adm.  freeman,  1652,  and  the  one  who,  by  wife  Elizabeth,  had  John, 
b.  in  Boston,  June  16,  1643.  It  is  however  more  probable  that  he  was  an  early 
settler  of  Wethersfield,  Conn.  Among  the  gleanings  of  Judge  Savage,  for  New 
England  History  (Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  4th  Series,  Vol.  I.,  p.  96),  is  the  following 
extract  from  an  ancient  document,  lately  found  in  the  English  Exchequer. 
"April  the  8th,  1637.  The  examination  of  John  Pers  of  Norwch  in  Noff  [Nor- 
wich in  Norfolk]  weaver  aged  49  yeares  and  Elizabeth  his  wife  aged  36  yeares 
with  four  children  John,  Barbre,  Elizabeth  and  Judeth  and  one  sarvant  John  Ged- 
ney  aged  19  yeares  are  desirous  to  passe  to  Boston  in  New  England  to  inhabitt."' 
The  name,  age,  occupation,  and  date  of  the  embarkation  of  the  father  of  this 
family,  favour  the  idea  that  he  was  the  John  Peirce,  who  settled  in  Wat.  If  so, 
either  Elizabeth  was  his  2d  wife,  or  there  was  a  mistake  in  her  age ;  and  he 
must  have  come  to  America  some  years  after  the  arrival  of  his  son  Anthony. 


DANIEL  PEIRCE,  aged  23,  embarked  at  Ipswich,  Eng.,  for  N.  Eng.,  in  1634;

JOHN  PHILPOT.  of  Wat.,  was  committed  to  prison  by  order  of  the  General

Michael  Barstow;  south  by  Mr.  Knowles;  west  by  John  Sherman,  and  north  by 
common  land.  It  is  probable  that  Clary  relinquished  this  lot  to  the  town,  and  that

SALTONSTALL. 

Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  son  of  Samuel,  and  grandson  of  Gilbert  Saltonstall,  Esq., 
of  Halifax,  in  Yorkshire,  was  the  first  named  associate  of  the  six  original  paten- 
tees of  Massachusetts,  and  one  of  the  first  Assistants,  and  was  present  at  their 
court,  Aug.  23,  1630.  He  came  over  in  the  same  ship  with  Gov.  Winthrop,  in 
1630,  and  was  the  leader  among  the  first  permanent  settlers  of  Watertown. 
It  appears,  by  Winthrop's  Journal  [I.,  p.  29],  that  he  brought  over  with  him, 
three  sons  and  two  daughters.  He  returned  to  England  the  next  spring  (1631), 
taking  with  him  his  two  daughters  and  youngest  son.  He  did  not  return  to 
America.  His  Will  was  made  in  1658,  and  it  is  not  known  how  long  he  lived 
afterwards.  He  had  five  sons,  Richard,  Henry,  Samuel,  Robert,  and  Peter,  and 
he  had  at  least,  two  daughters,  who,  in  1644,  resided  in  the  family  of  the  Earl 
of  Warwick  and  Lady  Manchester. 

1.  Richard,  b.  1610;  came  over  in  1630  ;  was  admitted  freeman,  May  18,  1631, 
and  settled  in  Ipswich.  It  is  probable  that  he  went  to  Watertown  with  his 
father,  and  remained  there  for  a  few  years,  as  his  name  does  not  appear 
in  the  Ipswich  records  until  1635.  He  returned  to  England  finally  in  1683, 
and  d.  at  Hulme,  Ap.  29,  1694,  aged  84.  He  was  father  of  Col.  Nathaniel,  of 
Haverhill,  and  ancestor  of  most  of  those  bearing  that  name  in  New  England. 
[See  Farmer.] 

2.  Henry.  He  was  member  of  the  Art.  Co.,  1639,  and  was  proprietor  of  a 
farm  of  300  acres,  and  88  acres,  of  meadow,  in  Wat.,  in  1642;  grad  Harv. 
Coll.,  1642.  He  returned  to  England;  went  to  Holland,  1644;  M.D.,  at  the 
University  of  Padua,  Oct.,  1649,  and  at  Oxford,  June  24,  1652.

bably  had  the  land  of  his  brother  Henry,  after  his  return  to  England.  Water- 
town  was  his  permanent  residence,  where  he  d.,  Jan.  21,  1696,  and  admi- 
nistration was  granted,  Oct.  7,  1696,  to  his  nephew,  Col.  Nathaniel  Saltonstall. 
It  is  supposed  that  he  was  the  "  Mr.  Samuel,"  sometimes  mentioned  in  the 
records,  omitting  the  family  name.  Although  he  lived  so  long  in  Wat.,  there 
is  no  record  of  wife  or  children,  and  he  appears  to  have  had  little  or  nothing  to 
do  with  the  municipal  affairs  of  the  town.

SANDERSON. 

There  were  two  early  settlers  of  Watertown,  of  the  name  of  Sanderson,  viz., 
Robert  and  Edward.  What  affinity  there  was  between  them,  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained. 


ROBERT  SANDERSON,  and  wife  LYDIA,  were  among  the  first  settlers  of 
Hampton,  in  1638,  where  they  had  dr.  Mary,  bap.  Oct.  29,  1639.  Soon  after 
this  he  moved  to  Watertown,  of  which  he  was  a  proprietor,  1642,  and  where 
he  m.,  about  1642,  MARY,  wid.  of  John  Cross.  [See  Cross.]  He  remained  in 
Wat.  until  about  1653,  when  he  moved  to  Boston,  where  he  was  a  deacon, 
and  d.  there,  Oct.  7,  1696.  July  20,  1650,  he  (then  of  Wat.)  sold  to  Richard 
Swaine,  a  house  and  10  acres  of  land  in  Hampton.  Oct.  17,  1653,  he,  '-'a 
silversmith,"  then  said  to  be  of  Wat.,  bought  land  in  Wat.,  of  William  God- 
frey. Chil.  (after  he  left  Hampton,  by  his  2d  wife),  1.  Joseph,  b.  (birth  recorded 
in  Camb.)  Jan.  1,  1642-3.  2.  Benjamin,  bap.  in  Wat.,  July  29,  1649;  by  wife 
Mercy,  had,  1.  Mary,  b.  in  Wat.,  Nov.  29,  1677.  3.  Sarah,  bap.  in  Wat.,  Jan. 
18,  1650-1.  4.  Robert,  bap.  in  Wat.,  Oct.  8,  1652;  by  wife  Elizabeth,  he  had,  1. 
Joseph,  b.  in  Camb.,  Oct.  10,  1684.     He  had  a  2d  wife  Hester. 

Perhaps  William  Sanderson  [120],  of  Wat.,  was  a  son  of  Robert,  but  his  lineage 
has  not  been  ascertained. 

John  Hull,  a  Selectman,  and  many  years  Town  Treasurer  of  Boston,  a  man  of 
wealth.*  the  first  Mint  Master  of  New  England,  and  the  coiner  of  the  "pine- 
tree  coin,"  in  his  diary,  under  date  of  1652  (J  3),  relates  how  he  was  chosen 
to  make  coin,  and  adds:  "I  chose  my  friend  Robert  Sanderson,  to  be  my 
partner,  to  which  the  Court  consented."  Sept.  1,  1658,  he  says  ;  "  my  boy,  John 
Sanderson,  complained  of  his  head  aching,  and  took  his  bed ;  a  strong  fever  set 
in,  and  after  17  days'  sore  sickness,  he  departed  this  life."  Under  date  of 
Nov.  8,  1658,  he  says,  "  the  Lord  exercised  with  sickness  my  partner  Robert 
Sanderson,  and  his  son  Joseph,  but  yet  was  pleased  to  recover  them  both. 
Joseph  kept  the  house  about  a  month,  and  my  partner  18  days." 

*  When  his  only  dr.  Hannah,  was  married  to  Judge  Samuel  Sewall  (his  2d  wife),  he  is  said  to 
have  put  her  into  one  scale,  and  to  have  put  coin  into  the  other  scale,  so  as  to  balance  her  weight, 
for  her  dowry.  In  his  diary,  July  1,  1658,  he  says,  "I  received  into  my  house  Jeremie  Dumraer,  and 
Samuel  Paddy,  to  serve  me  as  apprentices  eight  years."  [See  Farmer.] 


(I.)  EDWARD  SANDERSON,  m.,  Oct.  15,  1645.  MARY  EGGLESTON  [per- 
haps the  eldest  dr.  of  Bagot  and  Brigget  Eggleston,  of  Dorchester,  afterwards 
of  Windsor,  Conn.]  The  birth  of  only  one  child,  Jonathan,  is  recorded  in 
Watertown.  He  sold  his  house  and  land  in  Wat.  to  William  Shaltuck,  Sen., 
and  probably  moved  to  Cambridge.  In  the  church  records  is  this  record,  "  Mar. 
20,  1686-7,  bap.  Hester  Saunders,  a  young  person,  dr.  of  Edward  Saunders." 
The  name  of  this  family  (Sanderson)  in  the  early  records  is  frequently  written 
Sanders  and  Saunders.*  From  Edward,  are  descended  most  of  the  families  of 
the  name  of  Sanderson,  in  Wat.,  Waltham,  and  Weston.

Oct.,  1630,  to  be  adm.  freeman,  and  was  adm.  next  May,  18.  He  was  a  pro- 
prietor, 1636-7,  and  1642,  after  he  left  the  town.  In  1634,  he  and  Abraham 
Browne  were  employed  together  in  the  survey  of  Wal.  In  1636,  he  was 
ordered  "  to  surcease  to  do  any  more  business  for  the  town,"  about  which 
time  he  joined  that  small  colony  that  went  from  Wat.,  to  settle  Wethersfield, 
Conn.  He  sold  his  homestall  (16  acres),  to  Simon  Eire.  [See  Farmer,  and  see 
Hinman,  pp.  72,  and  235.]  He  was  probably  the  Lieut.  Seeley  in  the  Pequot 
War,  and  perhaps  was  the  Capt.  Seeley.  of  Stratford,  killed  in  battle  by  the 
Indians,  Dec,  1675.

SHATTUCK. 

[Lemuel  Shattuck,   Esq.,  of  Boston,  has  had  a  genealogy  of  the  descendants 
of  William  and  Susanna  Shattuck.  of  Watertown,  ready,  or  nearly  ready,  for  the 


SHATTUCK.  427 

press  for  several  years;  and  the  delay  of  its  publication  is  much  regretted. 
Coming  from  a  person,  in  many  respects  so  competent  for  the  undertaking,  it 
cannot  fail  to  be  full,  accurate,  and  skilfully  arranged.  The  following  genealogy, 
although  brief  and  imperfect,  seems  to  be  necessary  in  this  place,  on  account  of 
the  numerous  alliances  between  this  and  other  Watertown  families.] 


(I.)  WILLIAM  SHATTUCK,  settled  in  Wat.  as  early  as  1642  or  r3,  when  he  was 
not  more  than  21  years  of  age.  According  to  his  age  given  when  he  was  a 
witness  in  Court,  he  was  born  1621.  His  name  is  on  the  schedule  of  proprie- 
tors and  possessions,  made  out  in  1642  to  1644,  when  he  was  very  young.  He 
then  had  a  homestall  of  one  acre,  and  a  small  lot  of  upland.  July  4,  1654,  he 
bought  of  John  Clough,  tailor,  of  Wat.,  and  Susan,  his  wife,  his  house  and  gar- 
den, and  30  acres  of  upland  ;  bounded  east  by  Wm.  Paine,  and  E.  Goffe;  west  by 
highway ;  north  by  Joseph  Morse,  and  south  by  highway.  Also,  25  acres  of  upland, 
bounded  west  by  a  brook,  east  by  common  land,  south  by  Edm..  Lewis,  north 
by  John  Coolidge.  Also,  3  acres  of  swamp  land.  Also,  one-third  part  of  twelve 
acres  of  meadow;  bounded  west  by  highway,  and  on  other  sides  by  Wm.  Paine, 
and  Ed.  Goffe.  By  his  Will,  dated  Aug.  3,  1672,  then  u  aged  50  years/''  he  gave 
to  son  Samuel  Church  £6  ;  to  son  Philip,  one-half  of  farm  and  2  acres  in  pond 
meadow;  to  son  William,  the  other  half  of  the  farm,  and  2  acres  in  pond  mea- 
dow :  to  four  small  children,  my  mare  with  all  her  increase  ;  the  remainder  of 
goods  to  wife  Susanna,  until  the  younger  chil.,  Benjamin  and  Samuel,  are  twenty- 
one  years  of  age;  to  said  Samuel  and  Benjamin,  the  house  and  land  I  dwell  on, 
bought  of  Edward  Sanderson,  and  my  half  dividend  ;  to  elder  son  John,  £20;  and 
£40,  to  be  divided  among  his  grandchildren.  In  his  Inventory,  the  house  and 
land,  and  half  dividend,  appraised  at  £180.  The  farm  at  Stoney  Brook  (given  to 
sons  Philip  and  Wm.),  appraised  at  £20,  and  the  4  acres  of  pond  meadow  at  £4. 
He  d.  Aug.  14,  1672,  leaving  wid.  SUSANNA  (his  only  wife),  who  m.,  Nov.  18, 
1673,  Master  Richard  Norcross.  [Norcross,  3-.]  She  died  Dec.  11,  1686.  The 
births  of  his  chil.,  are  not  all  recorded.

Rev.  JOHN  SHERMAN  (3d  minister  of  Wat.),  b.  in  Dedham,  Eng.,  Dec.  26,  1613; 
A.  B.,  Trinity  Coll.  Camb.,  1629,  A.  M.,  1633.  Dr.  Eliot  says  he  came  to 
America  in  1635,  and  went  to  Watertown.  He  soon  moved  to  New  Haven 
Colony,  where  he  was  a  magistrate  several  years.  He  returned  to  Wat.  be- 
tween 1644  and  '48,  and  became  its  third  minister  a  few  years  before  Rev.  Mr. 
Knowles  returned  to  England.  He  was  adm.  freeman,  May  19,  1669,  and  d. 
Aug.  8,  1685,  aged  72.  [For  some  account  of  his  talents,  character,  and  services, 
see  Francis,  Farmer,  Eliot,  &c]  By  his  first  wife  (?  ABIGAIL),  he  is  said  to 
have  had  6  chil.,  and  by  the  2d,  MARY  LAUNCE,  (according  to  Mather,  a  grand 
dr.  of  Thomas  Darcy,  Earl  of  Rivers),  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  IV.,  p.  307.]),  Mather 
said  he  had  by  her  20  chil.  Although  he  had  many  chil.,  this  is  probably  a 
great  exaggeration.  He  had  7  chil.,  whose  births  are  recorded  in  Wat.  His

SMITH. 

On  the  earliest  list  extant  of  the  proprietors  of  Watertown  (1636-7),  are  four  of 
the  name  of  Smith,  viz.,  John,  Sen'r,  John,  Jr.,  Thomas,  and  Francis.  Isabella,  wife 
of  John  Smith,  Sen'r,  d.  Oct.  12,  1639,  aged  60.  It  is  probable  that  John  and  Isa- 
bella were  the  parents  of  John,  Jr.,  and  Thomas,  and  perhaps  of  Francis,  and 
Daniel. 


JOHN  SMITH,  Jr.,  adm.  freeman,  May  22,  1639,  may  have  been  the  John  Smith,

DANIEL  SMITH  [200],  was  a  resident  of  Wat.  as  early  as  1642,  but  he  was  not 
a  proprietor  in  1636-7.     Perhaps  he  was  a  son  of  John,  Sen.,  and  Isabella. 


MATTHEW  SMITH,  of  Wat.,  took  the  oath  of  fidelity  in  1652,  and  was  drowned 
at  Noddles  Island,  May  21,  1658. 

RICHARD  SMITH,  of  Wat,  took  the  oath  of  fidelity  in  1652.

(I.)  JOHN  SPRING,  and  wife  ELINOR,  settled  in  Wat.,  and  his  name  is  on 
the  earliest  list  of  proprietors,  1636-7.  Mar.  21,  1656-7,  he  executed  a  deed 
of  gift  to  his  son  Henry,  of  his  house  and  land  in  Wat.,  reserving  to  himself, 
during  his  lifetime,  the  north  end  of  the  house;  after  his  decease,  the  same  to 
go  to  son  Henry,  with  conditions  that  said  Henry  pay  his  father  an  annuity,  and, 
after  the  decease  of  his  father,  pay  John  Spring,  Jr.,  £30.  [Mid.  Deeds.  Vol.  I.,

to  the  date  of  that  deed.  It  is  believed  that  all  the  families  of  the  name  of 
Spring  in  New  England,  and  perhaps  in  the  U.  S.,  are  descended  from  John  and 
Elinor,  of  Watertown.

Spring,  housewright,  of  Newton,  son  and  heir  of  William  Spring,  late  of  Bridge- 
ton,  Barbadoes.  dated  Aug.  6,  1698,  gave  all  his  estate  to  his  loving  friend, 
Jonathan  Green,  of  Newton,  in  token  of  gratitude  to  him  for  his  kindness 
and  care  in  his  straits  and  difficulties,  &c,  in  which  others,  of  whom  he  might 
have  expected  help,  deserted  him.  [See  Estabrook,  4.] 


(II.)  HENRY  SPRING,  m.,  Jan.  7,  1657-8,  MEHITABEL  BARTLETT.  [Bart-

1.]  His  Will,  dated  June  29,  1695,  mentions  wife  Susanna;  sons  Henry  and 
Thomas;  drs.  Elizabeth  Mellings  (Mellen);  Mehitabel  and  Abigail.  Inventory, 
dated  Nov.  25,  1697,  £317.  7.  As  early  as  1680,  he  was  elected  the  town 
"prizer,"  and  continued  to  hold  the  office  until  1695.  The  duty  of  apprizer  appears 
to  have  been  to  fix  the  rate  at  which  agri- 
cultural products  shall  pass  in  the  payment 
of  taxes  and  debts.  He  was  often  employed 
in  taking  inventories,  and  settling  estates.

John,  Sen.,  if  alive,  would  have  been  at  least  90  years  old.  It  seems  to  me 
not  improbable,  that  there  was  an  error  in  the  record,  and  that  it  was  Henry 
Spring  (the  town  prizer)  who  was  chosen  to  make  a  new  invoice.

12.  Marshall,  b.  Feb.  19,  1741-2:  d.  Jan.  7,  1818;  grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1762, 
soon  commenced  the  study  of  medicine,  probably  with  his  maternal  uncle, 
Dr.  Josiah  Converse,  a  highly  esteemed  physician,  of  Wat,,  who  aided  him 
in  obtaining  his  education,  and  who  bequeathed  to  him  the  larger  part  of 
his  estate.  After  finishing  his  professional  studies,  he  resided  a  short  time 
in  the  island  of  St.  Eustatia.  With  that  exception,  he  always  resided  in  his 
native  town;  and  during  his  long  life,  sustained  such  a  high  professional 
repute,  as  very  few  private  practitioners  have  attained  to.  He  was  eminent  as 
a  wit,  and  it  is  said  that  he  was  the  only  man  of  that  time,  who  could  suc- 
cessfully meet  Chief  Justice  Parsons  "  in  the  keen  encounter  of  wits."  In 
the  Revolution  he  was  a  tory,  fully  and  firmly  "  convinced  of  the  entire 
inexpediency  of  resistance."  Yet,  on  the  19th  of  Ap.  1775,  he  arrived  early 
at  Lexington,  and  devoted  his  best  skill  and  care  to  his  wounded  fellow- 
citizens.  Although  his  tory  sentiments  were  well  known,  and  very  generally 
odious  in  that  vicinity,  and  he  did  not  try  to  conceal  them  ;  yet  his  professional 
services  were  so  highly  appreciated,  so  necessary  to  the  people,  and  his  man- 
ners so  winning,  pervaded  with  such  a  tone  of  benevolence,  that  he  seldom  suf- 
fered any  serious  annoyance  on  account  of  his  political  sentiments.  He  main- 
tained that  the  people  were  incapable  of  self-government;  and  on  that  ground, 
he  opposed  the  adoption  of  the 
Federal  Constitution,  as  being 
too  feeble,  not  sufficiently 
stringent  in  its  tone.  Yet,  at 
the  first  election  of  Mr.  Jeffer- 
son to  the  Presidency,  he 
joined  the  popular  party  that 
had  opposed  the  adoption   of 

the  Constitution  on  the  opposite  ground,  that  it  was  too  stringent,  tending  too 
much  to  centralization.  To  an  intimate  friend  he  jocularly  assigned  his  reason 
for  joining  that  party,  "  He  said  he  was  nearly  losing  both  property  and  country, 
by  opposing  the  popular  party  in  the  Revolution  ;  and,  as  he  now  saw  that  the 
people  were  up  and  forever  by  that  election,  he  did  not  intend  to  run  that  risk  a 
second  time." 

He  taught  the  school  in  Wat.  the  year  after  he  left  College  ;  was  Rep.  of  Wat. 
1787,  and  repeatedly  a  member  of  the  Governor's  Executive  Council.  For  a 
more  copious  account  of  his  character,  talents,  and  services,  see  Thatcher's

Arms.     Or,  a  chevron  between  three  crosses  flory  sable.     Crest,  a  cock  starling  proper. 

A  coat  of  arms  similar  to  this  formerly  belonged  to  the  occupants  of  the  old  Stearns 
homestead  in  Watertown  ;  and  there  is  now  a  similar  one  belonging  to  a  branch  of  the 
Manning  family  in  Cambridge  (descendants  of  Isaac  Stearns),  from  which  the  accom- 
panying illustration  is  taken.  It  is  the  same  as  that  borne  by  families  of  the  name  of 
Sterne  in  the  counties  of  Bucks,  Cambridge,  Hertford,  and  Norfolk,  England;  the  same 
also  as  that  borne  by  Richard  Sterne,  Archbishop  of  York,  who  was  descended  from 
the  Sternes  of  Nottinghamshire. 

It  is  probable  that  all  the  families  of  the  name  of  Stearns  in  the  United  States,  are 
descended  from  three  early  immigrants:  as,  in  every  instance,  where  the  lineage  of  a 
family  has  been  traced  back,  it  has  been  to  one  of  the  following,  viz.,  Isaac,  or  Charles, 
who  settled  in  Watertown  ;  or  Nathaniel,  who  settled  in  Dedham.     Isaac,  in  his  Will, 


ISAAC    STEARNS.

calls  Charles  "  my  kinsman,"  probably  his  nephew.  What  affinity  there  was  between 
Nathaniel  and  the  other  two,  has  not  been  ascertained ;  but  there  is  reason  to  suppose  that 
he  was  related  to  them. 

On  May  17,  1662,  Thomas  Clark  sold  a  lot  of  land  in  Boston,  bounded  S.  E.  by 
land  of  Daniel  Stemes.  [Suffolk  Deeds,  IV.,  p.  268.]  This  is  the  only  record  or  notice  of 
this  Daniel  Stemes,  that  I  have  met  with.  There  are  families  of  the  name  of  Starn  or  Stem 
in  the  Middle  and  Southern  States,  who  are  of  German  origin. 

The  orthography  of  the  name,  (Stearns)  now,  with  very  few  exceptions,  adopted  by 
the  descendants  of  Isaac,  Charles,  and  Nathaniel,  is  undoubtedly  a  variation,  or  a  cor- 
ruption of  the  name,  STERNE,  which  has  been  effected  in  this  country.  It  probably 
commenced  in  the  pronunciation,  and  afterwards  extended  to  the  writing,  of  the  name. 
Sterne  is  a  well-known  name  in  the  counties  of  Nottingham,  Berks,  Norfolk,  Hertford, 
Suffolk,  and  Cambridge,  in  England;  but  the  name,  Stearns,  has  not  occurred  to  me 
in  any  English  work.  In  Winthrop's  Journal,  and  in  the  early  town  and  county  records, 
the  name  is  written  Sterne.  In  the  Will  of  the  first  Isaac  Stearns,  dated  1671,  the  name 
has  the  correct  orthography,  with  the  exception  or  addition  of  a  superfluous  terminal  s, 
sometimes  used  in  England.     A  very  few  now  write  their  names,  Sterns  and  Stams. 

ISAAC  STEARNS  came  to  America,  in  1630.  in  the  same  ship,  as  there  is  reason  to 
believe,  with  Gov.  Winthrop,  and  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  and  settled  in  Watertown,  near 
Mount  Auburn.*  He  was  adm.  freeman,  May  18,  1631,  which  is  the  earliest  date  of 
any  such  admission,  and  he  was  Selectman  several  years.  In  1647,  he  and  Mr.  Biscoe, 
were  appointed  by  the  Selectmen,  "to  consider  how  the  bridge  over  the  river  shall  be 
built,  and  to  agree  with  the  workmen  for  doing  it,  according  to  their  best  discretion." 
This  is,  says  Dr.  Francis,  in  his  history,  "the  first  mention  of  a  bridge  over  Charles 
River,  at  Watertown."  He  d.  June  19,  1671,  leaving  a  wid.  MARY,  who  d.  Ap.  2,  1677. 
The  births  of  only  three  of  his  children  are  recorded  in  the  town  records,  and  it  is  probable 
that  two,  perhaps  three,  of  them  were  born  in  England.  His  pedigree  has  not  been 
ascertained,  nor  is  it  certainly  known  what  town  he  came  from;  but  it  is  very  probable 
that  he  came  from  the  Parish  of  Nayland  in  Suffolk.  Mr.  Somerby  obtained  the  follow- 
ing extract  from  the  Parish  Register  of  Nayland  : 

<;  Baptized  Jan.  6,  1626,  Mary,  dau.  of  Isaac  Sternes. 
Baptized  Oct.  5,  1628,  Anna,  dau.  of  Isaac  Sterns." 

*  His  homestall,  in  1642.  was  bounded  on  the  N.  by  John  Warren  ;  W.  by  highway ;  S.  by  John  Biscoe  ;  F.- 
by  Pequusset  Meadow,  a  part  of  which  meadow  he  owned.  In  the  distribution  of  the  estate  of  his  son  Samuel, 
in  1724.  to  his  eldest  son.  Nathaniel,  was  assigned  this  homestall,  "  where  his  grandfather  had  lived."  From 
Nathaniel,  it  probably  passed  to  his  son  Daniel.

452  ISAAC    STEARNS. 

The  names  and  ages  of  these  two  daughters  seem  to  correspond  exactly  with  the 
supposed  ages  of  the  two  eldest  children  of  the  first  Isaac  Stearns,  of  Watertown;  for 
in  the  early  records,  Anna  and  Hannah  were  very  often  used,  the  one  for  the  other. 

It  appears,  from  the  appraisal  of  his  estate,  that  he  was  in  comparative  affluence  for 
those  early  times,  considering  that  he  had  previously  given  respectable  portions  to  each 
of  his  seven  children;  for  it  embraces  14  lots  or  parcels  of  land,  amounting  to  467  acres, 
with  a  due  quantity  of  stock  and  farming  utensils,  provisions,  and  household  goods.  See 
his  Inventory  on  the  preceding  page. 

His  Will,  dated  five  days  before  his  decease,  with  his  autograph  signature,  is  extant  on 
the  files  of  the  Probate  Office  of  Middlesex  County,  and  is  as  follows  : 

ct  I,  Isack  Sternes,  of  Watertown,  in  the  County  of  Middlesex,  being  sick  in  body,  but 
through  the  goodness  of  God  in  sound  memory,  do  declare  this  to  be  my  last  Will  and 
Testam  [ent],  in  manner  and  form  as  folio weth  : 

uImp. — ffirst,  I  return  my  spirit  into  the  hands  of  God  that  gave  it,  and  my  body  to  the 
earth,  from  wher.ce  it  was  taken. 

'•  2dly.  My  will  is,  that  Mary,  my  beloved  wife,  should  enjoy  my  whole  estate,  for  her 
maintainance,  so  long  as  she  shall  live  a  widow  ;  but  if  my  said  wife  shall  marry  again, 
then  my  will  is  that  she  should  enjoy  only  what  the  law  intended  and  provided  for  in  the 
law  titled  dowers. 

"  3dly.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  grand  children,  the  children  of  my  sonne  John 
Sternes,  fower  score  pounds,  [which]  being  added  to  what  my  son  had  formerly,  will  be 
a  double  portion  with  the  rest  of  my  children. 

"  4thly.  I  give  unto  my  son  Isaac  Sternes,  seventy  pounds,  which  being  added  to  what 
he  have  had  already,  will  be  his  proportion  according  to  the  rest  of  my  children. 

"  5thly.  I  give  to  my  son  Samuel  Sternes,  seventy  pounds,  which  being  added  to  what  I 
formerly  gave  him,  will  be  his  proportion  with  the  rest  of  my  children. 

"  6thly.  I  give  to  my  grand  children,  the  children  of  my  daughter  Mary,  deceased, 
five  and  thirty  pounds ;  my  grand  child,  Isaac  Lernot,  to  have  ten  pounds  of  the  said 
35  pounds — the  remainder,  which  will  be  twenty-five  pounds,  to  be  equally  divided  to 
the  rest;  which  said  thirty-five  pounds  being  added  to  what  I  formerly  gave  my  daughter 
Mary  Lernot,  will  be  an  equal  proportion  with  the  rest  of  my  children. 

"  7thly.  I  give  to  my  daughter  Sarah  Stone,  forty  pounds,  which  being  added  to  what 
she  formerly  had,  will  be  her  proportion. 

u  8thly.  I  give  to  my  daughter  Elizabeth  Manning,  twenty  pounds,  which  being  added

linquished the  practice  of  medicine;  and,  after  qualifying  himself,  under  the 
instruction  of  a  chemist  in  Boston,  he  commenced  the  business  of  apothecary 
and  grocer,  in  Salem,  Mass.,  in  which  he  was  very  successful.  A  corre- 
spondent says,  "he  never  spoke  ill  of  a  person,  and  was  the  most  singularly 
honest  man  I  ever  knew."  He  represented  the  town  repeatedly  in  the  State 
Legislature;  often  held  municipal  offices,  and  was  most  fond  of  that  of  Over- 
seer of  the  Poor,  as  affording  him  the  greatest  opportunity  to  gratify  his  bene- 
volent feelings.  He  was  noted  for  hospitality  and  public  spirit.  He  took  the 
lead  in  making  the  turnpike,  from  Salem  to  Boston,  and  at  one  time  owned

whole  night  in  throwing  up  the  breastworks,  and  during  the  action  was  taking 
care  of  his  parents  at  their  farm  at  Plowed  Hill.  In  the  yard  in  the  rear  of  their

The  following  inscription  is  a  good  evidence  of  the  respect  and  affection  of  his  people  towards 

'•  This  Monument, 
Erected  by  the  town  of  Lunenburg, 

is  sacred  to  the  memory  of 
The  Reverend  DAVID  STEARNS, 
their  much  beloved  and  respected  Pastor, 
who  departed  this  life. 
in  the  joyful  expectation  of  a  better, 
on  the  9th  day  of  March,  A.  D.,  1761. 
In  his  private  capacity,  he  was  a  kind  husband,  a  tender  parent,  an  affectionate  brother,  and  a  faithful 
friend.    In  his  ministerial  character,  his  conversation  was  pure,  entertaining,  and  instructive;  his  doc- 
trines plain  and  scriptural,  and  his  life  truly  exemplary.    He  was  adorned  with  hospitality,  with  singu- 
lar prudence,  and  a  most  endearing  benevolence;  with  a  good  knowledge  of  men  and  things;  with  a 
fervent  zeal  for  the  glory  of  Christ,  and  the  salvation  of  souls,  and  was  governed  by  the  united  influence 
of  these  accomplishments. 

Help,  Lord,  for  the  godly  man  ceaseth."

(V.)  Rev.  JOSIAH  STEARNS  (7,  IV.),  grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1751;  ordained  at  Ep- 
ping, N.  H.,  Mar.  8,  1758,  where  he  d.  of  cancer  of  the  lip,  July  25,  1788. 
Mr.  Stearns  was  a  close  and  thorough  student.  He  studied  the  Scriptures  in 
their  original  languages,  with  unremitting  diligence.  His  limited  means  would 
not  allow  him  to  possess  much  of  a  library;  but  he  was  favoured  with  the  use 
of  books  by  friends,  who  were  better  able  to  own  them.  He  was  accustomed 
to  borrow  one  volume  at  a  time,  and  when  he  had  read  it  through,  its  con- 
tents were  his  own.  The  late  Rev.  Dr.  Thayer,  of  Kingston,  mentioning  this 
fact,  added,  "  the  Bible  especially  was  his  library."  So  intimate  was  his  know- 
ledge of  the  Scriptures,  that  he  could  readily  cite  the  chapter  and  verse,  where 
almost  any  verse  was  to  be  found. 

"Mr.  Stearns  was  an  ardent  friend  of  liberty.  Some  of  his  sons  were  in  the 
field  during  a  great  part  of  the  Revolutionary  contest,  and  he  sacrificed  most  of 
his  worldly  interest  in  support  of  the  American  cause.  [Alden's  epitaph.]     He

was  a  member  of  a  State  Convention,  in  Exeter,  in  which  he  regarded  himself 
as  fully  committed  to  the  risk  of  his  personal  safety.  Returning  from  the  Con- 
vention, he  called  his  children  around  him,  told  them  of  the  stand  he  had 
taken,  and  added,  ;<  If  the  cause  shall  prevail,  it  will  be  a  great  benefit  to  the 
country;  but  if  it  shall  fail,  your  poor  old  father's  head  will  soon  be  a  button  for 
a  halter." 

Mr.  Stearns  was  tall  in  person,  and  interesting  in  his  pulpit  performances.  He 
held  the  untiring  attention  of  his  audience,  which  not  unfrequeutly  filled  the 
seats  and  aisles  of  his  meeting-house  ;  while  in  pleasant  weather,  a  number 
stood  abroad,  around  the  doors  and  windows.  The  following  anecdote  illus- 
trates the  dignity  and  influence  of  his  character.  He  happened  to  pass  through 
a  room  where  a  party  of  military  officers  were  engaged  in  very  free  and  profane 
conversation.  The  individual  who  was  speaking  at  the  time,  suddenly  stopped 
and  seemed  abashed.  His  comrades  rallied  him  on  his  timidity,  as  soon  as  Mr. 
Stearns  disappeared.  {i  Rev.  Stearns  would  awe  the  devil,"  was  the  officer's 
immediate  reply. 

Of  Mr.  Stearns'  printed  sermons,  two  were  on  1  John.  4,  8,  '•'  God  is  love." 
These  were  preached  in  Exeter,  and  printed  after  his  death,  at  the  request,  made 
to  him  in  his  last  sickness,  of  Hon.  John  Philips,  for  the  use  of  the  members 
of  the  Academy.  Another  was  on  Early  Piety,  with  a  brief  memoir  of  Samuel 
Lawrence,  preached  Sept.  19,  1779.  Another  was  a  Fast  Sermon.  [N.  H.  Repo- 
sitory for  Jan.,  1847,  pp.  107-10.] 

In  the  Essex  Journal  and  New  Hampshire  Packet,  of  Aug.  27,  1788,  is  the 
following  short  biographical  notice  of  Mr.  Stearns,  written,  it  is  said,  by  Rev.  Dr. 
Tappan,  of  Newbury,  afterwards  Prof,  of  Divinity,  in  Harvard  University: 

"  Mr.  Hoyt, — The  Rev.  Mr.  Stearns,  whose  death  was  announced  in  your  last, 
sustained  a  character  too  great  and  too  good  to  be  passed  over  in  silence.  The 
God  of  Nature  had  endued  him  with  singular  abilities,  which,  by  the  aid  of 
erudition,  fitted  him  for  extensive  usefulness.  His  assiduous  application  to  the 
work  of  the  ministry,  was  truly  worthy  of  imitation.  In  him  shone  an  assem- 
blage of  virtues  and  graces,  which  rarely  meet  in  the  same  person.  He  had  a 
lively  fancy,  a  penetrating  judgment,  a  correct  taste,  and  a  mind  as  expanded 
as  the  heavens.  His  conversation  was  ever  seasonable,  grave,  pathetic,  and 
instructive.  His  public  discourses  were  replete  with  good  sense,  with  important 
truths  in  a  clear  and  instructive  light,  and  received  the  approbation  of  the  best 
judges.  He  despised  pageantry,  without  the  appearance  of  affectation.  He  trusted 
to  nothing  mortal;  pitied,  but  envied  not,  such  as  had  their  portion  in  this  life. 
His  advice  in  council  was  often  sought,  and  ever  approved.  He  had  a  consti- 
stutional  firmness,  and  was  capable  of  the  most  dispassionate  reasoning.  He 
repudiated  errors,  ancient  and  modern,  and  rejoiced  to  the  last  in  his  faithful 
adherence  to  the  doctrines  of  grace.  Elevated  by  the  purer  sentiments,  he  ever 
possessed  a  mind  calm  and  serene.  God,  who  is  all-wise  in  council,  was  pleased 
to  try  his  faith  and  patience  in  the  furnace  of  affliction.  After  a  lingering  and 
painful  sickness,  he  died  of  a  cancer,  in  the  57th  year  of  his  age.  In  him  died 
a  friend  to  justice,  liberty,  and  energetic  government.  A  vigorous  watchman,  a 
patient  guide,  an  affectionate  pastor,  a  prudent,  kind  husband,  and  an  indulgent 
but  truly  faithful  parent. 

"More  joyful  than  a  conqueror  with  his  spoils,  he  retired  from  the  present 
scene  of  action.  We  trust  that  he  is  gone  to  a  state  of  immortal  bliss,  and  will 
be  an  associate  of  those  who  have  come  out  of  great  tribulation."

(V.)  Captain  PHINEHAS  STEARNS  (140,  IV.),  a  farmer  and  blacksmith,  of 
Watertown;  was  a  soldier  at  Lake  George,  1756,  and  was  among  the  earliest 
to  take  up  arms  in  the  Revolution.  He  commanded  a  company  on  Dorchester 
Heights,  when  the  British  evacuated  Boston.  He,  with  Samuel  Barnard  (a  major 
in  the  Revolutionary  Army),  and  John  Randall,  all  of  Watertown,  were  of  the 
"  Boston  Tea-Party,"  and  assisted  in  that  renowned  transaction.  He  was  offered 
a  Colonel's  commission,  but  the  care  of  his  young  children,  upon  the  death  of 
his  wife,  and  of  a  family  of  apprentices  and  journeymen,  prevented  'his  conti- 
nuing in  the  public  service  after  the  British  left  Boston.  He  was  distinguished 
for  his  benevolent  and  cheerful  disposition,  which  was  strongly  marked  in  his 
open,  manly  countenance.  This,  with  his  good  sense  and  strict  integrity,  made 
him  a  favourite  of  all  who  knew  him.     He  m.,  1767,  HANNAH  BEMIS,  b.  June

(V.)  JONATHAN  STEARNS,  Esq.  (154,  IV.),  studied  law  with  Col.  Worthington, 
of  Springfield,  Mass.,  a  gentleman  of  much  distinction  in  his  day,  and  a  royalist. 
Mr.  Stearns  imbibed  the  principles  of  his  preceptor,  and  at  the  beginning  of  the 
Revolution  was  obliged  to  leave  the  town.  He  went  to  Westminster,  Vt.,  where 
he  rendered  himself  obnoxious  by  the  stand  he  took,  when  the  people  undertook 
to  stop  the  tory  courts.  After  being  secreted  several  days  in  the  house  of  his 
brother-in-law,  Judge  Sparhawk,  of  Walpole,  N.  H.,  he  went  to  New  York,  and 
became  a  Judge  Advocate  in  the  British  army.  From  New  York  he  went  to  Hali- 
fax, N.  S.,  where  he  became  eminent  in  his  profession.  At  the  time  of  his 
decease,  May  23,  1798,  he  held  the  office  of  Solicitor-General,  for  the  Province  of 
Nova  Scotia.  The  following  account  is  taken  from  an  obituary  notice  of  him, 
published  at  the  time :  "  Possessed  of  a  firm  and  independent  mind,  enriched 
by  a  liberal  education,  and  a  thorough  acquaintance  with  the  laws  of  the  country, 
his  political  course  was  marked  with  an  unaccommodating  integrity.  As  a  pro-

Col.  BENJAMIN  BELLOWS  was  the  youngest  son  of  Benjamin  Bellows*  who 
was  the  youngest  son  of  Br.  John  Bellows,  who  m.,  in  Marlboro,  Mass.,  1655,  Mary 
Wood.  He  was  a  land  surveyor,  a  very  large  proprietor,  and  a  very  early  settler 
of  Walpole.  N.  H.,  for  some  time  called  "  Bellowstown."  Bellows  Falls  were 
named  from  him.  He  "possessed  wonderful  energy  and  decision,  with  a  great 
capacity  for  business ;"  and  is  said  to  have  been  not  less  characterized  by  his 
liberality  and  great  practical  benevolence.  He  and  some  of  his  sons  and  de- 
scendants have  been  remarkable  for  their  almost  gigantic  forms  and  strength.  A 
full  account  of  him  would  make  an  interesting  memoir.  He  was  m.,  in  Lunen- 
burg, Oct.  7,  1735,  to  ABIGAIL  STEARNS  (67,  III.),  by  her  brother,  Rev.  David 
Stearns.  She  d.  in  Walpole,  Nov.  8,  1757,  and  he  m.,  Ap.,  1758,  wid.  MARY 
JENNISON  [Jennison,  33],  a  sister  of  Ruth,  the  wife  of  Rev.  David  Stearns. 
By  his  first  wife  he  had  7  children,  and  by  the  second  5  children.  He  moved 
from  Lunenburg  to  Walpole  about  the  time  of  his  2d  marriage. 


Dorcas,  wife  of  Mr.  Benjamin  Bellows,  d.  in  Lunenburg,  Sept.  8,  1747.

(V.)  Col.  JOSEPH  BELLOWS,  was  a  farmer,  in  Lunenburg,  until  1786,  when  he 
moved  to  Walpole.  The  prominent  traits  of  his  character  were  refined  and  ele- 
vated feelings ;  a  deep  religious  sentiment ;  generosity  in  excess,  and  a  warm 
sympathy  with  the  distressed.  These  dispositions,  united  with  extreme  nervous 
sensibility,  so  involved  him  with  every  one  that  asked  his  assistance,  that  he  suf- 
fered some  pecuniary  loss,  which  led  to  anxiety  about  the  sufficient  support  of  his 
family,  and  induced  a  mental  derangement,  that  continued  during  the  last  thirty 
years  of  his  life.     He  m.,  Oct.  3,  1764,  LOUISA  WHITNEY,  of  Lunenburg.

CHARLES  STEARNS. 

CHARLES  STEARNS  was  adm.  freeman,  May  6,  1646.  Mar.  15,  1647-8,  he 
purchased  of  Edward  Lamb,  of  Wat.,  a  house  and  8  acres,  and  three  other  lots. 
On  the  same  day  he  purchased  of  John  Fiske,  6  acres  of  upland.  Isaac  Stearns, 
in  his  Will,  dated  June  14,  1671,  mentions  him  as  "  my  kinsman,  Charles  Sternes," 
and  bequeathed  him  £10.  Samuel  Hosier  also  bequeathed  to  him  £10;  but  with- 
out stating  any  relationship.  Jan.  6,  1680-1,  he  was  elected  constable  (tax- 
gatherer),  of  Wat,  but  refused  to  take  the  oath;  and  the  same  year  he  sold  his 
land  in  Wat.  to  his  son  Samuel.  It  is  supposed  that  soon  after  this  he,  with  his 
son  Shubael,  moved  to  that  part  of  Lynn,  called  Lynn  End,  now  the  town  of  Lynn- 
field.  His  first  wife,  HANNAH,  d.  in  Wat.  (bur.  July  2).  1651.  He  m.  (2d).  June 
22,  1654,  REBECCA  GIBSON,  dr.  of  John  and  Rebecca  Gibson,  of  Camb. '  The 
births  of  their  first  two  children  are  recorded  in  Camb.,  but  she  was  a  member  of 
the  Wat.  Church,  Feb.,  1658-9.   [See  Camb.  Church  Gathering,  p.  59.] 

The  following  extract  from  the  Essex  Registry  of  Probate,  shows  the  number 
and  the  names  of  his  children,  at  least  of  those  who  lived  to  maturity,  or  to  have 
families:  "  Sept.  9,  1695,  Shubael  Stearns,  of  Lynn,  petitions  for  letters  of  admin, 
on  the  estate  of  his  brother  Charles,  slain  in  the  King's  service.  Balance  of  his 
estate  after  settlement  of  debts  (£4.  12.  10.)  to  be  divided  as  follows — equally  be- 
tween his  brothers  Shubael  and  John;  the  children  of  brothers  Samuel  and  Isaac; 
Rebecca  Sternes,  alias  Traine.  and  Martha  Hutchinson,  his  sisters."

liam Shattuck,  Sen.,  and  William  Shattuck,  Jr.,  and  his  estate  was  settled  by  his 
vvid.,  Mehitabel,  July,  1696.  It  appears,  by  the  town  records,  June  16,  1694,  that 
he  left  his  family  so  indigent,  as  to  need  some  temporary  aid  from  the  Selectmen. 
It  is  not  known  what  became  of  the  wid.  and  her  two  sons.

[William  F.  Stone,  Esq.,  of  Cambridge  (whose  friendly  aid  I  have  repeatedly 
received  in  this  work),  has  devoted  much  attention  to  the  history  and  genealogy 
of  families  of  this  name,  in  New  England,  and  he  has  collected  a  large  mass  of 
information.  It  is  earnestly  hoped  that  the  results  of  his  researches  will  soon  be 
offered  to  the  public.  It  may  show  some  errors  and  very  many  defects  in  the  fol- 
lowing brief  genealogy  of  Dea.  Simon  Stone.] 


There  were  two  early  settlers  of  Wat.  of  the  name  of  Stone,  from  whom  most  of 
the  very  numerous  families  of  that  name,  in  New  England,  are  descended,  viz.: 
Simon,  and  his  younger  brother  Gregory.  The  latter  moved  to  Cambridge,  pro- 
bably about  1637  or  "S.  His  name  is  on  the  list  of  "'townsmen  then  inhabiting" 
Wat.,  to  whom  grants  of  land  were  made,  Feb.  28,  1636-7.  Sept.  30,  1639,  Gre- 
gory Stone,  "  of  Camb.,"  sold  to  Nathaniel  Sparhawk,  agent  of  (Thomas)  Boylston, 
of  London,  cloth-worker,  his  house  and  ground  in  Wat.,  and  4  other  lots  of  land  in 
Wat.   [See  Boylston.]

There  was  a  Dea.  SIMON  STONE,  who  settled  in  Groton  as  early  as  1694,  where 
he  has  had  numerous  descendants.  [See  Butler,  pp.  438  and  439.]  His  parentage 
has  not  been  ascertained;  but  there  is  not  much  doubt  but  that  he  was  of  the 
Watertown  stock,  and  that  he  was  a  son  either  of  Simon,  Jr.  [6],  or  of  Dea.  John 
[28],  probably  of  the  latter.  On  this  presumption,  the  following  genealogy  of 
his  descendants  is  inserted.  A  more  thorough  investigation  may  lead  to  many 
corrections  and  additions,  as  too  much  of  the  following   is  conjectural.     He  m. 

SARAH .     It  is  probable  that  he  had  at  least  three  children  bom  before  he 

went  to  Groton,  or  whose  births  are  not  recorded  there.

MARGARET,  d.  Dec.  7,  1676,  aged  81.  His  sons,  Richard  and  John,  were

of  Long  Island,  pp.  182,  and  185],  but  returned  to  Wat.  Perhaps  the  John 
Stratton,  of  Salem,  1637,  may  have  been  the  John,  of  East  Hampton,  and  the 
father  of  John.  [18.]     More  research  is  necessary  to  dissipate  this  obscurity.

TARBALL  (Tarbell,  Tarbel). 
THOMAS  TARBALL,  supposed  to  be  the  progenitor  of  all  the  families  of  that 
name  in  New  England,  settled  in  Watertown  as  early  as  1656,  when  he  was 
about  38  years  old.  By  wife  MARY,  he  had,  1.  Elizabeth,  b.  Jan.  5,  1656-7. 
2.  William,  b.  Feb.  26,  1658-9.  It  is  probable  that  he  had  at  least  two  chil. 
b.  before  he  settled  in  Wat. ;  for  Thomas  Tarball,  Sr.,  and  Jr.,  were  original  pro- 
prietors of  Groton,  in  1662;  and  Abigail  Tarball,  supposed  to  be  his  dr.,  m.,  in 
Wat.,  Sept.  30,  1672,  Joshua  Whitney.  [Whitney,  49.]  John  Tarball,  of  Salem 
Village,  adm.  freeman,  Mar.  22,  1689-90,  was  perhaps  another  son. 

Mar.  30,  1663,  Thomas  Tarball,  and  wife  Mary,  sold  to  Dea.  Thomas  Hast- 
ings, a  dwelling  house  and  about  30  acres  ot  land  in  Wat. ;  also,  4  acres  of  remote 
meatlow,  in  Camb.  bounds.  In  the  Inventory  of  John  Flemming,  in  1657,  is 
included  a  house.  &c,  appraised  at  £25,  "  bought  of  Thomas  Tarball."  About 
the  date  of  the  above  sale,  he  moved  to  Groton.  He  was  one  of  the  4  persons 
to  whom  20  acres  of  land  was  granted  by  that  town  about  1665,  for  erecting  a 
mill,  to  be  exempted  from  taxation  20  years,  and  no  other  to  erect  a  mill,  except 
on  his  own  land.  [Butler,  p.  36.]  He  probably  retired  from  Groton  to  Charles- 
town,  at  the  outbreak  of  King  Philip's  War.  He  m.  (2d),  in  Charlestown,  Aug. 
15,  1676,  SUSANNA  LAWRENCE,  wid.  of  John  L.,  Jr.  He  d.  as  early  as  the 
beginning  of  1681  :  for  wid.  Susanna  Tarball  was  adm.  to  the  church  in  Charles- 
town,  Mar.  6,  1680-1,  and  she  d.  in  Charlestown,  Jan.  5,  1692.  [See  John  Law-

5.  John,  b.  July  6,  1695.  He  and  his  brother  Zachariah  were  captured  by  the 
Indians,  probably  between  1704  and  1708,  and  carried  to  Canada.  The  fol- 
lowing "  tradition  is  undoubtedly  nearly  correct."  "  One  evening,  a  little  after 
sunsetting,  the  Indians  came  suddenly  upon  the  inmates  of  a  garrisoned 
house,  which  stood  where  the  Rev.  Mr.  Sanderson's  house  now  stands,  or  near 
that  spot.  They  all  escaped,  and  got  safely  into  the  garrison,  except  these  boys 
(J.  and  Z.  Tarball),  who  being  on  a  cherry  tree,  had  not  sufficient  time  to  de- 
scend and  save  themselves  from  captivity.  *  *  *  Some  years  after,  they 
both  came  to  Groton  on  a  visit ;  but  having  become  accustomed  to  savage 
life,  no  persuasion  prevailed  with  them  to  return  and  live  with  their  friends  and 
relations.  *  *  *  Their  descendants  are  still  among  the  Indians  in  Canada.'7

1688.  There  is  no  other  notice  of  him  in  the  records.  Perhaps  he  was  a  son 
of  Rev.  Thomas  Thornton,,  of  Yarmouth,  and  a  brother  of  Timothy  Thornton,  a 
merchant,  of  Boston.    This  point  is  left  for  others  to  elucidate. 


(I.)  Rev.  THOMAS  THORNTON,  an  ejected  minister  (mentioned  by  Farmer), 
came  to  America  after  the  restoration  of  Charles  II.,  and  settled  in  Yarmouth! 
Mass.  In  advanced  life  he  went  to  Boston,  where  his  son  Timothy  resided, 
and  he  d.  there,  Feb.  15,  1700,  aged  93.  [See  Yarmouth  (Mass.)  Register,  for

send,  Adam  Winthrop,  Tim.  Thornton),  appointed  by  the  General  Court,  Dec. 
10,  1690,  for  issuing  bills  of  credit.  [See  Felt's  Massachusetts  Currency,  p.  50.]

(III.)  EBENEZER  THORNTON,  was  at  first  a  trader  in  Boston  in  Co.  with  his 
father,  who  withdrew  from  business  in  1716.  He  afterwards,  as  early  as  1738,  set- 
tled in  Watertown,  near  the  Public  Landing,  where  he  was  engaged  in  trade, 
and  in  procuring  timber  for  house  and  ship  building.  It  is  probable  that  he 
was  engaged  in  ship  building,  as  in  some  legal  instrument  he  was  designated  a 
"  shipwright."  [See  Richard  King.]  In  Ap.  1716,  he  purchased  "a  mill-stream, 
dams,"  &c,  in  Dunstable,  near  the  line  of  New  Hampshire.  He  was  one  of  a 
Committee  (viz.  Elisha  Cook,  Esq.,  Edward  Hutchinson,  Ebenezer  Thornton, 
Edward  Winslow,  and  others),  appointed  by  the  town  of  Boston,  to  erect  fortifi- 
cations, according  to  a  vote  of  the  town,  passed  Mar.  8,  1734.  These  fortifi- 
cations were  known  as  North  Battery  Wharf,  and  Fort  Hill.  In  Aug.,  1739.  he 
purchased  land  in  Wat.  for  £400.  May  31,  1742,  he  purchased  land  in  Wat.' for 
£600.  Sept.  23,  1745,  he  purchased  "  a  messuage,  or  tenement,  situate  in  Wa- 
tertown, where  said  Ebenezer  now  dwells,  containing  a  mansion  house,"  17  acres 
of  land,  &c,  for  £800.     These  sums  were  probably  Old  Tenor.

bec, under  the  command  of  Sir  William  Phipps.  The  armament  was  divided  into  three  squadrons. 
Sir  Wm.  Phipps,  Admiral,  in  the  "Six  Friends,"  had  command  of  the  first  squadron,  consisting  of  12 
vessels.  Capt.  Thomas  Gilhert,  Vice-Admiral,  in  the  "Swan."  had  command  of  the  second  squadron, 
consisting  of  10  vessels.  Capt.  Joseph  Eldredge,  Rear  Admiral,  in  the  "  American  Merchant,"  had

(V.)  Dr.  THOMAS  GILBERT  THORNTON,  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  Joseph 
Manning;  attended  some  of  the  early  medical  lectures  in  Harv.  Coll.;  settled  in 
Saco,  where  he  became  an  eminent  physician.  Upon  Mr.  Jefferson's  accession 
to  the  Presidency,  he  was  appointed  U.  S.  Marshal  for  the  District  of  Maine,  and 
he  continued  to  hold  the  office  under  Madison  and  Monroe.  "  Soon  after  mar- 
riage, he  became  interested  in  commercial  pursuits,  in  connexion  with  his  father- 
in-law,  then  and  for  a  long  time  one  of  the  most  successful  merchants  of  Maine. 
About  1802,  or  1803,  in  consequence  of  his  commercial  and  official  engagements, 
he  almost  wholly  relinquished  medical  practice.  In  cases  of  emergency  or  diffi- 
culty, however,  his  advice  was  sought  and  highly  appreciated  by  his  professional 
brethren;  nor  did  he  disregard  the  claims  of  humanity  amidst  the  variety  of  his 
other  pursuits."  He  was  chiefly  instrumental  in  founding  the  Academy  at  Saco, 
and,  in  compliment  to  him,  for  his  liberal  donation  to  it,  its  corporate  title  was 
changed  to  "Thornton  Academy."  He  was  President  of  the  Saco  Bank,  and  was

New  England,  was  adm.  freeman,  Sept.  2,  1635,  then  resident  of  Weymouth,  and 
is  supposed  to  have  come  to  America  that  year  with  the  Rev.  Joseph  Hull, 
and  the  other  families  who  first  settled  that  town.  He  was  Rep.  of  Weymouth  in 
1636,  '37,  '38,  and  '39;  in  1642.  was  one  of  the  Commissioners  for  treating  with

1644,  '45,  '46,  and  '47,  was  one  of  the  Commissioners  <:to  end  small  causes.'* 
Between  1648  and  1650,  he  moved  to  Maiden,  about  which  time  that  town  was 
granted  and  a  church  organized.  In  Maiden,  he  was  a  Selectman,  a  Commis- 
sioner for  settling  small  causes,  and  was  Deacon  of  the  church  more  than  24  yrs.

hem.  (2d),  in  Maiden,  Aug.,  1671,  HOLLIE.  He  d.  in  Maiden  [grave- 
stone], Feb.  26,  1681-2,  aged  84,  showing  that  he  was  born  1597,  or  '98.  The 
births  of  his  children  are  not  recorded  ;  but  the  following  is  believed  to  be  a  full 
list  of  them,  with  the  ages  of  some  of  them  derived  from  various  sources. 

1.  Mary,  b.  1628;  m.  John  Whittemore,  and  d.  1677,  aged  (?)  49.

7.  Priscilla,  b.  1642  ;  m.  Thomas  Crosswell,  and  d.  Dec.  8,  1717.  aged  75. 

He  had  an  adopted  child,  named  John  Upham.  adopted  June  19.  1660,  then  aged 
12  years,  ':a  fatherless  and  friendless  child/'  brought  from  Barbadoes  about  8 
years  before.  He  d.  in  Charlestown  (?  of  small-pox),  Nov.  25,  1677,  aged  30, 
bequeathing  his  musket  to  "  young  Phineas  Upham,"  and  the  rest  of  his  estate 
to  Elizabeth  Mousal,  his  espoused  wife. 

*  Dr.  A.  G.  Upham,  supposes  lhat  the  first  John  Upham  had  a  son.  Nathan,  because  n  Nathan  Up- 
ham  was,  as  he  says,  adm.  freeman,  1655.  But  upon  referring  to  the  Genea!.  Reg..  Vol.  III.,  p.  194, 
note,  it  seems  very  probable  that  Nathan  is  there  an  abbreviation  of  Nathaniel,  and  that  it  is  a  dupli- 
cate record.

WHITNEY. 

Families  of  the  name  of  Whitney  are  very  numerous,  not  only  in  every  State 
in  New  England,  but  in  many  other  parts  of  the  United  States.  There  is  scarcely 
a  single  large  town,  where  they  may  not  be  found,  and  it  is  probable  that  most 
if  not  all  of  them  are  descendants  of  John  and  Elinor  Whitney,  of  Watertown.* 
A  concert  of  action  among  the  many  intelligent,  well-educated  persons  of  this 
name,  might  produce  a  very  copious  and  interesting  family  memorial.  The  fol- 
lowing is  offered  as  a  contribution  towards  such  an  undertaking. 

Embarked  at  Ipswich,  Eng.  Ap.,  1635,  for  New  England,  in  the  Elizabeth  and 
Ann,  Roger  Cooper,  master,  JOHN  WHITNEY,  aged  35;  wife  ELLIN  (Elinor), 
aged  30  ;  sons  John,  aged  11  ;  Richard,  aged  9  ;  Nathaniel,  aged  8;  Thomas, 
aged  6;  and  Jonathan,  aged  1  year.  He  was  admitted  freeman,  Mar.  3,  1635-6; 
was  Selectman  several  years  between  1638  and  1655  inclusive,  and  was  Town 
Clerk,  1655.  In  1642,  his  homestall  lot  of  16  acres  (where  he  continued  to  reside), 
was  bounded  E.  and  S.  by  William  Jennison  ;  W.  by  Martin  Underwood ;  N.  by 
Isaac  Mixer.  [See  60.]  He  at  the  same  lime  owned  8  other  lots,  amounting  to 
212  acres.  The  Registry  of  Deeds  shows  that  he  made  additions  to  these  posses- 
sions. His  early  admission  as  a  freeman,  and  his  early  election  as  Selectman, 
show  that  he  held  a  respectable  social  position.  His  wife,  Elinor,  d.  May  11, 
1659,  and  he  m.  (2d),  Sept.  29,  1659,  JUDAH  (Judith)  CLEMENT.  He  died  a 
widower,  June  1,  1673,  aged  74.  His  Will,  dated  Ap.  3,  1673,  attested  by  Wil- 
liam Bond,  Sr.,  and  Sarah  Bond,  Sr.,  mentions  sons  John,  Richard,  Thomas,  Jona- 
than, Joshua,  and  Benjamin.  Inventory,  dated  June  4,  1673,  50  acres  dividend 
land,  £25;  3  acres  of  Beaver  Brook  meadow,  and  1^  acre  upland,  £60;  1  acre

*  Henry  Whitney  settled  in  Norwalk,  Conn.,  as  early  as  1665.  Whether  lie  was  related  to  the  Wa- 
tertown  family,  has  not  been  ascertained;  but  probably  he  was  not  a  son,  nor  a  grandson  of  John  and 
Elinor.  At  a  town  meeting  in  Norwalk,  J.uly  24, 1655,  Henry  Whitney  agreed  and  engaged  with  the 
town  to  make,  build,  and  erect  a  good  and  sufficient  ground  corn  mill,  at  the  mouth  of  Norwalk  River, 
by  the  Falls.  At  the  same  meeting,  the  town  voted  and  granted  him  a  house  lot,  consisting  of  2  acres, 
to  be  laid  out  upon  the  Mill  Plain,  upon  the  right  hand  of  the  path  hading  down  to  the  Old  Mill,  being 
over  the  Runlett,  two  or  three  rods  from  the  said  Runlett,  and  also  from  the  cartway.  [See  Hall's  His- 
tory of  Norwalk.  pp.  51  and  52.]  There  is  no  evidence  in  the  History  of  Norwalk,  that  he  had  any 
family  ;  but  it  is  probable  that  it  was  his  son,  John  Whitney,  who  m.,  in  Norwalk,  Mar.  17,  1674-5,  Eli- 
zabeth, dr.  of  Richard  Smith,  and  who  inherited  the  mill;  for,  at  a  town  meeting,  held  May  20,  1678,  "it 
was  voted  and  agreed  on  between  the  town  and  the  miller,  John  Whitney,"  &c.  Families  of  this 
name  have  continued  to  reside  in  Norwalk  to  a  recent  date,  if  not  to  the  present  time.  For  some  ac- 
count of  tliena,  see  the  Genealogical  Register  in  Rev.  Edwin  Hall's  History  of  that  town.

(II.)  BENJAMIN  WHITNEY.  It  appears  by  the  Registry  of  Deeds,  Vol.  III., 
451-2,  that  he  first  settled  in  York.  Me.,  and  in  1668,  his  father  desired  him  to 
leave  York,  and  settle  with  him  on  the  homestead  during  his  lifetime,  promising 
him  his  house,  and  barn,  and  all  his  land  about  home  (about  17  acres,  bounded 
N.  by  John  Sherman  ;  E.  and  S.  by  William  Bond  ;  W.  by  Martin  Underwood), 
which  promise  he  confirmed  by  a  deed,  dated  Ap.  5,  1670.  Mar.  9,  1670-1,  Ben-

£40,  his  riirht  in  his  father's  homestead,  obtained  as  above  stated.  He  probably

that  he  had  other  children  born  in  York,  or  Sherburne,  and  perhaps  Benjamin^  of

and  son  John,  aged  13  years. 


(I.)  RICHARD  WOODWARD,  was  adm.  freeman,  Sept.  2,  1635,  and  his  name 
is  on  the  earliest  list  of  proprietors  of  Watertown.  His  wife,  ROSE,  d.  Oct.  6,

coll.  He  at  the  same  time  owned  another  homestall  of  10  acres,  bounded  W. 
by  highway:  E.  by  Edward  How,  and  his  own  land:  N.  by  Richard  Benjamin; 
S.  by  Edmund  Blois.  Also,  12  other  lots,  amounting  to  about  310  acres.  Sept. 
8,  1648,  he  bought  of  Edward  Holbrook,  and  wife  Anne,  a  mill  in  Boston,  which 
he  (R.  W..  then  said  to  be  of  Boston),  sold  Dec.  26,  1648,  to  William  Aspin- 
vvall.  He  d.  Feb.  16,  1664-5;  his  estate  was  appraised,  Feb.  21,  by  Nathaniel 
Treadway,  William  Bond,  and  Henry  Spring,  and  was  admin,  by  his  sons  George 
and  John.  He  resided  in  Camb.  in  1660.  His  wid.  Ann,  d.  in  Stow,  Feb.  5, 
1682-3.   [See  Barry,  p.  250.] 


(II.)  GEORGE  WOODWARD  (son  of  Richard,  I.),  was  adm.  freeman.  May  6, 
1646.  By  his  first  wife.  MARY,  he  had  8  chil.  He  m.  (2d),  Aug.  17,  1659, 
ELIZABETH  HAMMOND,  dr.  of  Thomas  Hammond,  of  Newton.  [Hammond, 
60.]  Her  father,  in  his  Will,  proved  Nov.  5,  1675,  gave  her  100  acres  on 
Muddy  River  (Brookline)  ;  probably  the  same  land  upon  which  her  son  George 
afterwards  settled.  He  d.  May  31,  1676,  and  admin,  granted  June  20,  1676,  to 
wid.  Elizabeth,  and  son  Amos.  Inventory,  June  23,  1676,  £143.  10.  His  wid.  m. 
Samuel  Truesdale.     Chil.,

Waite.  [2.] 

2.  Sarah,  b.  Feb.  6.  1642-3;  m.,  about  1664,  Stephen  Gates,  Jr.,  of  Boston,  and 
afterwards  Stow.   [Barry,  p.  250.] 

Amos,  birth  not  recorded,  but  he  was  one  of  the  administrators  of  his  father's 
estate;  adm.  freeman,  Oct.  10,  1677.  He  d.  in  Camb.,  Oct.  9,  1679,  "  aged 
38,"  probably  should  be  33.  He  was  witness  in  Court,  Ap.,  1668,  then  aged  23, 
and  said  to  be  "of  Flint's  Farm  Camb."  It  appears  by  his  Will,  dated  Oct.  9, 
1679,  that,  he  left  neither  wife  nor  child.  It  was  probably  his  wife  SARAH,  dr. 
of  William  Patten,  of  Camb.,  who  d.  in  Camb.,  Sept.  24,  1677.  He  gave  his 
right  and  title  to  the  house  and  land  in  Wat.,  "  which  was  our  father  Wood-

brother  John,  Dec.  19,  1676. 

7.  Daniel,  b.  Sept.  2,  1653.  His  father's  homestead  was  assigned  to  him  in  the 
settlement  of  the  estate.  It  is  supposed  that  he  was  the  Daniel  Woodward,  of 
Medford,  who  was  licensed  by  the  Court,  May  1,  1690,  to  keep  an  inn.  Chil. 
by  wife  Elizabeth, 

1.  Sarah,  b.  in  Medford,  Jan.  5,  1689.

Dorcas,  b.  in  Newton,  Feb.  11,  1719:  and  Anna.  Aaron  was  father  of 
Rev.  Aaron  Woodward,  of  Wilbraham,  Mass.,  grad.  Yale  Coll.,  1789;  d. 
1840.   [See  I.  Stearns,  169,  V.]     His  wife  Dorcas  d.,  and  he  m.  (2d),  wid.

wards m.  (?  Isaiah)  Whitney,  of  Camb.,  and  in  1715,  resided  in  Lexington. 

N.B.  It  appears  that  George  Woodward,  Sr.,  had  a  dr.  Sarah  by  each  wife,  and 
that  both  these  drs.  were  living  at  the  same  time.

lieved that  his  house  was  on  or  near  the  boundary  line  between  Canterbury  and 
Windham,  that  both  towns  claimed  him  as  an  inhabitant,  and  hence  some  of  the 
records  of  his  family  are  found  in  each  town.  His  marriage,  his  decease,  and  the 
birth  of  his  youngest  child,  are  recorded  in  Canterbury.  The  births  of  other  4  chil., 
his  own  decease,  that  of  his  wife,  and  his  eldest  child,  are  recorded  in  Windham.

were  presented.  He  d.  Oct.  5.  1782,  after  a  ministry  of  31  yrs.  and  1  day.  "  He 
died  greatly  beloved  and  lamented  by  the  people  of  his  charge,  by  his  brethren 
in  office,  and  by  an  extensive  circle  of  acquaintance.  His  memory  is  yet  dear 
to  many  of  this  society.  He  was  a  serious,  sensible,  practical,  preacher,  rarely 
entering  upon  controversial  points,  but  always  striving  to  mend  the  heart  and 
life.  Extremes  he  carefully  avoided,  while  he  preached  Christ,  and  him  cruci- 
fied, and  adopted  the  evangelical  style  in  his  discourses.  He  was  cheerful  and 
facetious  without  lessening  his  dignity  as  a  minister,  or  Christian.  No  man 
could  more  happily  blend  the  cheerful  with  the  grave  in  conversation,  and  yet 
preserve  their  exact  bounds.  His  company  was  sought  and  admired  by  all 
classes,  old  and  young,  serious  and  gay;  and  he  discovered  a  disposition  to 
please  and  improve  all ;  and  with  a  peculiar  air  of  pleasantry,  he  could  give 
perfect  ease  and  satisfaction  to  the  most  mixed  circles  ;  while  at  the  same  time, 
with  no  less  singular  air  of  gravity,  he  could  set  bounds  to  any  propensity  to 
overleap  the  bounds  of  decorum  or  Christian  sobriety.  He  delighted  to  see  all 
happy,  and,  so  far  as  it  depended  on  him,  to  make  them  so.  But  in  his  most 
pleasant  and  free  intercourse  with  his 
people  and  friends,  he  took  care  not  /?  p 

to  lose  sight  of  the  great  object  of  ^y  //f  /  / 

his  ministry,  the  moral  improvement         * — '  ct/Wi   . £{y  c><?-&0/lA^-c><^v--cC. 
of  men,  their  ultimate  happiness,  and 

the  glory  of  his  and  their  God."     [Dr.  Kendall's  Centennial  Discourse,  Jan.  12,

[98.]  George  Allen,  with  wife  Hannah,  and  son  Samuel  (living  at  Josiah  Priest's),  came 
from  Medford  in  1758,  and  were  warned  (against  settlement).  He,  with  wife  Hannah 
and  2  children,  moved  from  Waltham  to  Wat.  in  1762. 


ALLIRE. — Wid.  Allire  [?  Allen]  signed  a  protest  respecting  the  meeting-house  in 
May,  1694. 

p.  8.  AMBLER. — It  is  probable  that  this  family  moved  from  Wat.  to  Cambridge,  and 
afterwards  to  Stamford,  Conn.  [See  Hinman,  pp.  48-9.]  Abraham  and  Richard 
Ambler,  of  Stamford,  were  proposed  for  freemen,  Oct.  14,  1669.  Abraham  was 
deputy  in  May,  1674. 

ANDERSON. — Jan.  22,  1713-14,  John  Anderson  and  wife  Rebecca,  had 
leave  of  the  town  to  build  and  settle  on  10  acres  of  land  in  Newton,  bought  of 
Nathaniel  Sanger,  bounded  W.  by  Major  Gookin,  N.  by  Isaac  Williams,  E.

18,  1714,  Nathaniel  Bowman  was  requested  to  take  John  Anderson  and  family. 
About  July  1,  1731,  Mary,  wife  of  John  Anderson  of  Groton,  left  her  husband  and 
came  to  VVat.  She  probably  returned,  as  John  and  his  wife  Mary  came  from  Groton 
ab.  1734,  to  the  West  Precinct  (Waltham),  lived  in  John  Smith's  house-  "caution" 
was  entered  against  their  settlement. 


William  Anderson  was  on  a  coroner's  jury  in  Wat.,  July  26,  1669. 

ANDREWS. — Daniel  Andrews  was  a  proprietor  of  Wat.  1677,  and  May  13,  1681, 
Daniel  Andrews,  bricklayer,  of  Salem,  for  £35,  sold  to  Jonathan  Sanders  [Sanderson] 
35  acres,  lying  between  Samuel  Thatcher  and  Samuel  Daniels.  Feb.  7,  1681-2,  he 
sold  to  Richard  Norcross  three  parcels  of  land  in  Pound  Field,  in  Watertown.  This 
Daniel  Andrews  of  Salem  was  probably  a  son  of  Thomas  and  Rebecca,  first  of  Wat., 
and  afterwards  of  Cambridge.  Samuel  Andrews  was  wit.  to  two  or  more  deeds  in 
Wat.  in  1685.  In  May,  1683,  a  general  survey  of  Worcester  was  made  by  Samuel 
Andrews  of  Watertown.     [Hist,  of  Worcester,  p.  31.]     Was  he  a  brother  of  Daniel?

m.  (about  1735)  Rev.  John  Shaw  of  South  Bridgewater.  This  must  be  a  mistake. 
In  the  first  place,  according  to  the  church  and  town  records,  he  had  no  daughter  Ruth 
born  in  Watertown.  It  was  Sarah,  who  was  b.  and  bap.  in  Wat.,  Aug.  1705.  In  the 
next  place,  his  dr.  Ruth  was  one  of  the  executors  of  his  Will,  when  that  supposed

BAILEY. — Rev.  John  Bailey  was  assistant  at  Old  South,  in  Boston,  before  his  settle- 
ment in  Wat.,  and  he  preached  his  farewell  sermon  there  July  25,  1686.  "July  26 
[1686],  a  considerable  troop  from  Watertown  come  and  fetch  Mr.  Bailey;  some  of 
ours  also  accompany  them."  [Sewall's  Diary.]  I  have  found  no  record  of  a  second 
marriage  of  Rev.  John  Bailey;  but  it  is  said  [Farmer  and  Mendon  Asso.  p.  177],  that 
Rev.  Peter  Thatcher,  of  Milton,  m.  for  his  second  wife,  the  wid.  of  Rev.  John  Bailey.

his  Journal  of  a  Visit  to  N.  England,  in  the  winter  of  1685-6,  says,  "  I  went  to  visit 
Mr.  John  and  Mr.  Thomas  Bailey  [in  Boston].  These  two  popular  preachers  are 
very  generous  to  strangers;  I  heard  Mr.  John  upon  these  words:  '  Looking  to  Jesus,' 
and  I  thought  he  spoke  like  an  angel.  They  express  a  more  than  ordinary  kindness 
to  Mr.  Wilkins,  my  landlord,  and  (being  persecuted  in  Limerick  for  their  nonconfor- 
mity) came  over  with  him  from  Ireland."

BALL. —  [3.]  The  records  and  files  of  the  County  Court,  in  reference  to  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth Ball,  furnish  a  striking  illustration  of  the  ignorance  and  ill  treatment  of  cases 
of  mania  at  that  period.  John  and  Elizabeth  Ball  had  a  dr.  Sarah,  b.  1655,  living  in 
1657.  By  a  deed  of  John  Ball,  dated  Mar.  6,  1660-1.  it  appears  that  he  then  had 
only  three  children  living.  One  of  them  was  John,  another  was  Mary,  whose  history 
was  a  sad  one.  It  has  not  been  ascertained  whether  the  other  child,  then  living,  was 
Hester  or  Sarah,  or  what  became  of  her.

[5.]  In  1722,  Sarah  Barnard,  then  of  Andover,  wid.  of  James  Barnard,  of  Sud.,  gave 
bonds  as  administratrix.     It  is  probable  that  she  was  a  2d  wife,  and  from  Andover.

[3  &  7.]  Samuel  Barnard  and  Joseph  Barnard,  then  of  Hadley,  took  the  oath  of  fidelity, 
Feb.  8,  1678.     It  is  probable  that  these  were  sous  of  John  Barnard,  of  Waterton,  but 

t  this  remains  to  be  ascertained.     In  1683,  Joseph  Barnard  was  a  leading  man  in  Deer- 

'  field,  Mass.  In  1714,  William  Brown,  of  Lancaster,  sold  land  in  L.  to  Samuel  Bar-

relationship  between  the  family  of  Rev.  John  Sherman  and  the  Angier  family.     Or, 
was  it  because  she  was  a  dr.  of  a  ministerial  brother?

remained,  until  he  sold  his  house  and  land  to  his  son  Timothy,  and  then  (about  1706 
or  7)  moved  to  Lancaster. 
[9.]  Timothy  Barron  was  constable  of  Wat.,  in  1715.  June  17,  1717,  he  sold  his 
house  and  12  A.,  and  one  other  lot  in  Wat.,  to  Jonas  Bond,  Esq.  He  d.  July  28,  1718, 
aged  46.  It  was  probably  his  2d  son,  Timothy,  who  m.,  in  Groton,  Jan.  13,  1725-6,

inquest,  Sept.  28,  1630,  and  member  of  a  trial  jury,  "  of  life  and  death,"  Sept.  19, 
1637.  He  was  a  selectman  in  1653,  and  was  some  time  sealer  of  weights  and  mea- 
sures. His  son  John,  probably  of  Exeter,  by  wife  Mehitabel  had  the  following 
children.

dition against  Canada.     He  was  town-clerk  1686  and  98;  selectman,  1686,  88,  89, 
and  90. 

p.  18.  BARSTOW. — This  orthography  of  this  name  has  been  adopted  here,  because 
it  has  become  the  almost  universal  usage.  But  there  is  very  little  doubt  that  Bair- 
6tow  is  the  correct  one.  This  is  the  orthography  very  generally  used  in  the  Water- 
town  Records,  and  most  frequently  in  the  early  Colonial  Records,  where  it  is  also 
written  Bayrstow.  We  have  the  autograph  of  Michael,  the  eldest  of  the  four  brothers, 
who  came  to  America,  and  he  always  wrote  it  Bairstow.  In  his  Will  and  Inventory 
on  record,  the  Register  of  probate  has  written  it  Barstow,  while  in  the  original  Inven- 
tory, which  is  on  file,  it  is  Bairstow  ;  and  it  is  probable  that  the  Register  took  the 
same  liberty  to  alter  the  name  in  recording  the  Will.  It  is  also  Bairstow  in  the  Will  of 
his  wife's  sister,  Susanna  Halstead.  The  social  position,  the  respectable  and  important 
public  appointments  bestowed  upon  Michael  Bairstow,  imply  that  he  was  a  man  of 
so  much  intelligence,  that  in  this  matter  we  may  recur  to  his  practice  as  pretty  good 
authority.  This  orthography  is  the  one,  and  the  only  one,  found  in  Burke's  Encyclo- 
paedia of  Heraldry,  and  the  following  is  the  coat  of  arms  belonging  to  it.  "  Bairstow. 
Erm.  on  a  fesse  betw.  two  cotisses  sa.  three  crescents  ar.  Crest,  out  of  a  crescent  a 
demi  eagle  displ."  In  Barry's  History  of  Hanover,  p.  208,  is  another  coat  of  arms, 
with  a  variation  in  the  name  and  escutcheon,  and  a  different  crest,  which  is  as  fol- 
lows. "  Barstow,  Naburn  Hall,  York.  Ermine  on  a  fesse  sable,  three  crescents  or. 
Crest,  a  horse's  head,  couped  ar."  It  is  probable  that  the  former  is  the  most  ancient, 
and  that  it  is  the  one,  if  either,  that  belongs  to  the  families  of  this  name  in  New  Eng- 
land, and  that  the  latter,  more  recent,  has  been  granted  or  assumed,  since  the  Barstows 
came  to  New  England. 
There  is  no  doubt  but  that  Michael  Barstow,  of  Wat.,  was  the  eldest  of  the  four 
brothers  that  early  came  to  this  country.  Michael  Barstow,  son  of  Matthew  Barstow, 
of  Shelf,  a  parish  of  Halifax,  Co.  York,  was  bap.  Nov.  17,  1600,  and  m.  Feb.  16, 
1624-5,  Grace  Halstead.  It  is  not  known  when  he  arrived,  but  he  was  a  lot-holder  in 
Charlestown  in  1635.  and  he  and  his  wife  were  admitted  to  Charlestown  Church,  Dec. 
5,  1635.     (Miles  Bastow  and  Marcia,*  his  wife.)    It  is  not  ascertained  at  what  time 

*  This  seems  to  imply  that  he  had  two  wives,  1,  "Marcia"  (Mercy),  2,  Grace.  But  there  are  instances  on  re- 
cord where  the  names  Mercy  and  Grace  were  used  the  one  for  the  other.  This  was  undoubtedly  the  case  here,  as 
appears  by  his  marriage  in  England.    Susanna  Halstead,  who  was  a  sister  of  Grace,  wife  of  Michael  Bairstow

he  moved  from  Charlestown  to  Watertown  ;  but  it  must  have  been  between  July,  1 636, 
when  his  name  was  not  on  the  list  of  those  who  received  allotments  of  Beaver  Brook 
Plowland,  and  1642,  when  he  owned  a  large  homestall  and  6  other  lots  of  land.  He 
sold  his  house  in  Charlestown  to  James  Browne,  which  he  (J.  B.)  sold  to  Abraham 
Hawkins.  Nov.  20,  1643.  By  his  Will,  dated  June  23,  1674,  he  gave  his  "  farm  [100 
acres  farmland,  not  his  homestead]  to  my  pastor,  John  Sherman ;"  to  the  church  in  Wat., 
.£16 ;  to  Hannah  Barstow,  alias  Prince,  1  bible,  and  the  debt  due  by  her  first  husband, 
William  Barstow ;  to  Elizabeth,  wife  of  William  Randall,  of  Scituate,  £5;  to  Susan,  wife 
of  Wm.  Perry,  of  Medrield,  £5  ;  to  Michael,  son  of  John  Barstow,  d.,  my  upland  and 
meadow,  near  house  of  John  Traine;  also,  my  lot  at  Bear  Hill  ;  to  John  and  Jeremiah

Henry  Bright  (exr.)  40s.  The  residue  to  be  divided  into  10  parts;  2  parts  to  chil.  of 
brother  George,  d.,  and  8  parts  to  chil.  of  brother  William,  deceased.  Elizabeth  Ran- 
dall, and  Susan  Perry,  named  in  the  Will,  are  supposed  to  be  his  sisters,  but  are  not 
mentioned  as  such.  [See  Shattuck  15,  Part  II.]  He  did  not  die  May  23,  1674,  but 
probably  in  Ap.  or  May,  1676,  a  short  time  before  the  date  of  his  Inventory. 
William  and  George  Barstow  (Beresto)  embarked  for  N.  England  in  the  autumn  of 
1635,  without  wives,  aged  respectively  23  and  21  years.  It  is  not  known  when  John 
Barstow  arrived ;  but  according  to  his  age,  given  at  the  coroner's  inquest,  he  was  born 
about  1625,  showing  him  to  have  been  at  least  ten  years  younger  than  either  of  the 
other  brothers. 

2.  [4.]  William  Barstow  (next  in  age  to  Michael)  settled  in  Dedham  about  1636,  and 

he  removed  thence  to  Scituate,  between  1643  and  1649.  Hem.  Anne .  ';  He  was  an

6.  Sarah  Barstow,  a  legatee  of  Susanna  Halstead,  and  mentioned  in  connection  with 
Deborah  [6],  was,  without  much  doubt,  a  daughter  of  William,  and  the  one  who  m. 
about  1665,  Nathaniel  Church,  a  carpenter,  of  Scituate,  son  of  Richard,  and  elder

water,  youngest  son  of  Rev.  Samuel  Angier.  of  Wat. 

N.B.  It  appears  by  the  will  of  Michael  Bairstow,  of  Wat.,  that  8  shares  of  his  residuary 
estate  were  given  to  the  chil.  of  his  brother  William,  implying  either  that  there  was 
one  child  whose  name  has  not  been  ascertained,  or  that  a  double  share  was  in- 
tended for  the  eldest  son,  which,  however,  does  not  appear  in  the  will. 

10.  [3.]  George  Barstow,  a  member  of  the  Artil.  Co.,  1644,  had  land  granted  to  him  in 
Dedham  in  1642;  was  a  householder  of  Scituate  in  1652,  and  member  of  the  2d  church.

Hibbin's  farm."     He  had  3  children. 

was  admitted  to  Charlestown  Church  only  14  days  after  Michael  and  his  wife.    It  is  probable  that  she  (S.  H.)

of  land  in  Marlboro,  granted  to  Captain  Richard  Beers,  Oct.  14,  1664.  In  1714,  Jabez 
Beers,  of  Wat.,  sold  land  to  Joseph  Shattuck,  of  Wat.,  barber-chirurgeon,  and  his 
wife  Mary. 

[12.]  It  is  probable  that  Anthony  Beers  moved  from  Wat.  to  Rox.,  and  there  had  son 
Barnabas,  b.  Sept.  6,  1658.  In  1667,  lands  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  were  granted  to  An- 
thony Beers,  which  he  sold  in  1669. 

[22.]  This  name,  Eleazer,  by  inadvertence,  was  misplaced.  He  was  a  son,  probably 
the  eldest,  of  Captain  Richard  Beers,  and  was  one  of  his  executors.

BEMIS. — The  estate  of  Joseph  Bemis  [1],  was  divided,  Nov.  18,  1712,  after  the  d. 
of  his  wid.  Sarah,  and  it  was  distributed  (except  what  had  been  given  to  "  eldest  son, 
Joseph,"  and  dr.  Martha),  to  the  following  children,  viz.;  Ephraim,  Mary,  Rebecca,  and 
John.  As  the  eldest  child,  Sarah  [2]  is  not  mentioned  in  this  distribution,  she  was 
probably  d.  s.  p.  It  appears  that  Joseph  [3J]  the  eldest  son  lived  to  have  a  share 
of  his  father's  estate,  but  it  is  not  known  what  became  of  him.  Martha  [4],  was

[7  and  9]  settled  in  Watertown,  where  the  births  of  four  of  his  children  are  recorded, 
but  the  account  of  his  family  is  brief.  He  probably  had  other  children  besides  those 
four  recorded,  and  it  is  probable  that  his  family,  or  some  part  of  it,  moved  to  Wind- 
ham and  Hampton,  in  Windham  Co.,  Conn.

BENJAMIN.— May  20,  1633.  Mr.  John  Benjamin  was  chosen  constable  of  New 
Town  [Camb.]  by  the  General  Court.  Nov.  7,  1634,  he  was  exempted  from  training 
on  account  of  age  and  infirmity,  but  was  required  to  have,  at  all  times,  arms  for  him- 
self and  servants.  He  was  of  New  Town,  in  Oct.  1636,  and  there  was  a  mistake  in 
saying  that  his  house  was  burned  in  Watertown.  It  is  conjectured  that  he  purchased 
several  homestalls  in  Watertown,  of  those  who  migrated  to  Wethersfield.  N.B.  The 
references  on  p.  27,  are  to  Hinman's  Catalogues,  1st  edition.  See  his  2d  ed.,  pp.

town,  deceased."  William  Clark,  of  Yarmouth,  who  d.  Dec.  7,  1668,  by  his  nuncu- 
pative Will,  proved  Feb.  28,  1668-9,  gave  his  property  (£8  3s.)  to  Joseph  Benjamin. 
[Gen.  Reg.  vii.  p.  178.]  There  was  a  Joseph  Benjamin  and  wife  Hannah,  of  Hamp- 
ton, Conn.,  as  early  as  1748,  whose  lineage  has  not  been  ascertained.  They  had  at

[10.]  The  nuncupative  Will  of  Samuel  Benjamin,  of  Hoccanum  (Hartford),  made  about 
Sept.  18,  1669,  "  a  little  before  he  died," 'proved  Nov.  10,  1670,  by  Thomas  Atwood, 
aged  about  60  yrs.,  and  Thomas  Edwards,  aged  about  47  yrs.,  gave  all  his  estate  to 
wife  Mary,  to  dispose  of  at  her  discretion,  and  made  his  brother  Abel,  overseer. 
Inventory  £98  19.  The  wid.  in  Court  agreed  to  pay  the  two  daughters,  Mary  and 
Abigail,  £10  each,  at  their  marriage,  or  at  the  age  of  IS  years.     Of  the  two  sons  of 

*  It  is  conjectured  that  the  following  Bemis  family  are  descended  from  Ephraim  Bemis. 

Jotham  Bemis,  Jr..  and  wife  Tryphema,  from  Connecticut,  settled  early  in  Saratoga,  Saratoga  County,  N.  Y., 
on  the  margin  of  Hudson  River,  and  on  the  road  leading  from  Albany  to  Skenesborough  (now  "Whitehall). 
He  kept  a  public  house,  which  was  the  only  one  of  note  between  those  two  places.  The  high  ground,  rising 
in  the  rear,  or  on  the  west  side  of  his  house,  and  known  as  Bemis  Heights,  has  acquired  an  historical  celebrity, 
as  the  place  where  the  battle  was  fought,  which  resulted  in  the  capture,  of  Gen.  Burgoyne  and  his  army. 
Gen.  Gates  occupied  the  house  of  Mr.  Bemis,  as  his  headquarters,  until  after  the  battle  of  Sept.  19,  1777, 
when  it  was  occupied  by  Gen.  Lincoln,  and  Gen.  Gates  removed  his  headquarters  to  the  house  of  Captain 
Ephraim  Woodworth,  on  the  Heights. 

Mr.  Bemis  had  5  children.  1.  Jonathan.  2.  William,  who  both  moved  from  that  town.  3.  John,  who  settled 
on  the  homestead,  but  moved  to  the  town  of  Saratoga  Springs,  where  he  and  his  wife  both  d.  about  1S28,  s.  p.

be  a  son  of  Thomas,  d.  in  Camb.,  Oct.  5,  1640,  before  the  date  of  the  will  of  his 
father. 

BIGELOW. — [1.]  John  Bigelow.  Senr.,  was  b.  in  1617,  according  to  his  age,  given 
as  a  witness  in  Court.  His  Will,  dated  Jan.  4,  1702,  3,  mentions  his  wife  (not 
named),  sons  John  ("the  eldest"),  Jonathan,  Daniel,  Samuel,  Joshua;  drs.  Mary 
Flagg.  Elizabeth  Sternes;  chil.  of  dr..  Sarah  Lamed,  drs.  Abigail  Harrington  and

Garfield,  overseer.  The  Inventory  of  his  real  estate,  dated  July  16,  1703.  House 
and  about  13  A.  of  land,  £160;  20  A.  Dividend  land,  £15;  6  A.  of  meadow,  east  of 
Beaver  Brook,  £20;  5  A.  at  4  mile  Brook,  £10;  part  of  estate  left  by  the  widow's 
father,  Bemis,  to  his  dr.  Sarah,  relict  of  the  deceased,  not  really  known.  The  admi- 
nistrators' account  mentions  payment  of  legacies  to  chil.  of  John  Stearns,  and  chil.  of 
Obadiah  Wood.  Also  a  charge,  2s.,  for  a  man  and  horse  to  notify  John  Stearns,  at 
Billerica  to  attend  the  funeral.  Also,  3s.  for  a  man  and  horse  to  Sherburne  to  notify 
Isaac  Lamed  and  wife  to  attend  the  funeral. 

[10.]  As  there  is  no  reference  to  a  son  James,  or  his  family  in  the  father's  Will,  it 
might  raise  a  doubt  whether  John  had  such  a  son  ;  but  the  record  of  his  marriage,  by 
Rev.  Mr.  Bailey,  must  remove  all  doubt.  "  Upon  the  25  March,  1687,  at  my  own 
house,  in  Watertown,  I  married  James  Begalow,  the  son  of  John  Begalow,  and 
Patience  Brown,  the  daughter  of  Jona.  Brown,  with  their  parents'  full  consent,  being 
legally  published,"  &c.

p.  42.  BISCOE.— (Brisco.)  [1.]  Mr.  Nathaniel  Biscoe  was  Selectman,  1648  and  50. 
It  is  probable  that  he  was  a  Baptist,  agreeing  in  sentiment  with  Dr.  John  Clarke,  with 
whom  he  was  associated  in  England.  His  letter  to  Mr.  Thomas  Broughton,  of  Bos- 
ton, his  son-in-law,  shows  that  he  was  an  acute  observer,  a  clear,  independent 
thinker,  and  a  terse,  vigorous  writer;  and  it  is  easy  to  conceive  that  such  a  writer, 
attacking  the  politico-ecclesiastical  policy  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  would  make  a 
very  sensible  impression.     In  encountering  such  a  disputant,  it  was  very  discreet  for 


684  biscoe. 

Hubbard  to  conclude,  fuste  potius  erudiendus  quam  argumento.  [See  Hubbard's 
History,  chap,  xlviii. J  The  47  acres  of  land  which  he  purchased  of  the  town  and 
sold  to  John  Wincol,  about  the  time  of  his  return  to  England,  was  bounded  N.  by 
Thomas  Straight,  common  land,  Beaver  Brook,  and  land  of  John  Whitney,  E.  by 
highway  to  Concord  [now  Lexington  Street],  S.  by  Isaac  Sternes,  Bartholomew  Pier- 
son,  George  Bullard,  and  Anthony  Pierce,  W.  by  highway,  N.W.  by  John  Warren. 
The  Inventory  of  his  son,  John,  renders  it  probable  that  this  land  was  returned  or  re- 
verted to  him,  and  the  probability  is  strengthened  by  the  circumstance,  that  this  lot 
is  not,  as  I  think,  mentioned  in  any  of  the  several  sales  made  by  Capt.  Wincol,  about 
the  time  he  moved  to  Kittery.  This  lot  seems  to  coincide,  in  part,  with  the  land  which 
Andrew  White  and  Nathaniel  Stearns  bought,  in  1713,  of  Elisha  Cooke,  of  Boston. 
[See  White,  5.]  Notwithstanding  the  disparaging  tone  of  Winthrop's  Journal,  re- 
specting "  one  Briscoe,"  it  is  evident  from  the  records,  that  his  townsmen  entertained 
a  high  opinion  of  his  capacity  and  integrity.  On  important  committees,  "Mr.  Bris- 
coe'' was  generally  placed  at  the  head.  Sept.  8,  1647,  for  £7  16s.,  he  bought  land  in 
Boston  (mortgage)  of  Angel  Holland,  shoemaker,  of  Boston.  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  iv. 
319.] 
[2.]  It  is  conjectured  that  Nathaniel  Brisco,  Jr.,  soon  after  his  difficulty  with  Nathaniel 
Eaton,  the  lirst  principal  of  Harvard  College,  went  first  to  Wethersfield,  and  very  soon 
proceeded  to  Milford,  Connecticut,  where  other  Watertown  emigrants  settled,  where 
his  name  is  on  the  first  list  of  free  planters,  Nov.  20,  1639,  and  where  he  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  Church,  Ap.  20,  1644.  The  records  show,  that  he  had  a  share  in  the 
business  of  the  town,  and  that  he  was  a  proprietor  of  several  lots  or  tracts  of  land.  It 
is  probable  that  in  the  autumn  of  1651,  he  came  to  Watertown  to  take  leave  of  his 
father,  then  about  to  return  to  England.  We  may  infer  from  the  letter  of  his  father  to 
Mr.  Broughton  (Sept.  7,  1652),  that  he  had  settled  at  a  considerable  distance  from  Mr. 
Broughton,  then  of  Boston.  No  record  of  his  marriage,  nor  of  the  birth  of  his  chil- 
dren, has  been  discovered,  but  it  is  supposed  that  he  had  two  children,  Nathaniel  and 
James.     He  d.  in  1683.

It  is  evident,  from  the  County  Records,  that  Thomas  Boylston,  of  Wat.,  was  not  a  very 
exemplary  husband  or  Christian,  and  that  his  friends  in  England  had  not  full  confidence 
in  his  prudence  and  discretion;  as  an  agent  was  employed  to  purchase  an  estate  for 
him  in  Watertown.  It  is  not  improbable  that  he  had  been  a  gay  young  gentleman 
of  London,  whose  habits  were  not  formed  after  the  puritanical  model,  and,  not  being 
a  member  of  the  church,  he  was  never  admitted  freeman. 

Ap.  1650.  Suit.  Thomas  Boylston  vs.  Thomas  Pratt,  for  withholding  money  sent  him  by 
his  uncle.  John  Sawin  testified  that  in  1648,  he  spoke  with  the  old  man  (the  uncle), 
and  he  said  he  had  assigned  his  house  and  lands  in  New  England  to  him,  Thomas 
Pratt  [in  trust]  for  young  Boylston  [•''  Boidson"]  and  his  children.     Nonsuited.

Charlestown,  for  good  cause,  conveys  by  deed  to  "  John  Chinery,  my  father-in-law, 
and  Thomas  Boylston,  my  brother-in-law,"  the  house  in  Charlestown,  "  where  I  now 
dwell ;"  the  land  and  out-houses,  and  furniture,  and  all  my  lands,  rights,  and  interest 
in  Watertown;  In  trust,  for  behoof  of  Sarah  Boylston,  my  wife  and  children,  that  I 
have  by  her.  In  consideration,  they  agree  to  pay  his  wife  £20,  and  to  discharge  a 
debt  he  (T.  S.)  owes  John  Richards,  a  merchant  of  Boston.  July  1,  1679,  Thomas

EP  For  the  information  respecting  the  family  and  descendants  of  Dr.  Thomas  Boylston, 
Jr.,  of  Muddy  River,  on  page  91,  we  were  indebted  almost  exclusively  to  the  re- 
searches of  Mr.  Thomas  B.  Wyman,  Jr.  Since  the  printing  of  that  page,  he  has  made 
some  corrections,  and  added  greatly  to  the  amount  of  that  information,  which  he  has 
published  in  the  Geneal.  Reg.  vii.  pp.  145-150.  The  Genealogy,  is  still  far  from 
being  complete,  and  the  compiler  desires  those  who  are  interested  in  the  subject,  and 
are  critical  in  such  matters,  to  communicate  corrections  and  additions,  to  Mr.  John  Hunt, 
Boston.  To  aid  in  this  undertaking,  and  to  give  a  more  full  and  satisfactory  view  of 
that  luxuriant  branch  of  the  old  Watertown  stock,  we  here  insert  in  a  condensed 
form,,  so  much  of  that  article  in  the  Register,  as  seems  to  be  clearly  ascertained.]

and  he  has  obtained  much  additional  information  respecting  the  early  history  of  that 
family.  Besides  a  few  corrections,  the  additions  are  so  great,  that  it  is  deemed  advisable 
to  reprint  the  pedigree,  corrected  and  enlarged ;  and  to  append  to  it,  in  the  form  of  notes, 
most  of  the  information  recently  obtained.  For  the  materials  of  this  information,  we  are 
chiedy  indebted  to  the  personal  researches  of  Mr.  Somerby,  and  for  the  condensation  and 
arrangement  of  them  in  the  following  pages,  we  are  much  indebted  to  Mr.  Jonathan 
B.  Bright,  of  Waltham,  whose  enlightened  liberality  has  furnished  the  means  for  prosecut- 
ing these  elaborate  investigations. 

That  the  Bright  family  of  Suffolk,  was  one  of  high  respectability  among  the  gentry  of 
that  county,  is  evident  from  their  many  alliances  by  marriage,  with  persons  of  honourable 
houses.  Although  their  lineage  has  been  traced  back  no  farther  than  to  Walter  Bright,  of 
Bury  St.  Edmunds,  yet  there  are  reasons  for  believing  the  family  to  have  been  related  to 
the  Brights  who  flourished  in  the  county  of  Kent,  at  a  much  earlier  period.  Catherine 
Bright,  of  Royton,  in  that  county,  who  married  Robert  Waters,  a  gentleman  of  large 
estates,  was  the  mother  of  Mary  Waters,  who  afterwards  became  the  celebrated  Mrs. 
Honeywood,  wife  of  Robert  Honeywood,  of  Mark's  Hall,  in  Essex.  In  1709,  her  portrait 
was  bequeathed  by  Thomas  Bright,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  to  his  cousin  Fisher;  who,  he 
says,  was  related  to  the  Honeywoods.  Some  families  of  the  name  of  Bright  flourished 
in  Essex  and  Norfolk,  from  a  very  early  period,  and  as  these  counties  adjoin  Suffolk,  it  is 
quite  probable  that  they  were  of  the  same  original  stock.  The  Suffolk  family  of  Bright, 
in  the  male  line,  is  believed  to  be  extinct  in  England. 

Henry  Bright,  the  Anglo-American  ancestor  of  the  family  embraced  in  this  volume, 
was  evidently  the  only  one  of  the  Suffolk  family,  that  came  to  New  England.  It  has 
already  been  shown  (page  96),  that  he  must  have  come  over  as  early  as  1630,  as  in  that 
year  he  became  a  member  of  the  first  church  of  Boston,  which  was  organized  in  Charles- 
town.  As  his  name  does  not  afterwards  occur  in  the  Boston  Records,  nor  among  those 
who  remained  in  Charlestown,  after  the  great  removal  thence  to  Boston,  it  is  presumed 
that  he  went  very  early  to  Watertown,  perhaps  in  1630,  although  not  with  the  very  first 
settlers.  His  descendants,  in  the  male  line,  have  continued  to  reside  in  Watertown,  and 
its  vicinity,  to  the  present  time.  They  have  never  been  numerous;  but  the  pages  of  this 
volume  show  that  those  in  the  female  branches,  who  trace  their  lineage  to  him,  are  very 
numerous. 

Others  of  the  name  of  Bright,  came  early  to  New  England ;  but  there  are  no  reasons, 
derived  from  American  records  or  traditions,  for  supposing  that  any  of  them  were  related 
to  Deacon  Henry  Bright  of  Watertown  :  and  the  result  of  the  extensive  investigations  in 
England,  seems  to  prove  clearly  that  they  were  not.  Two  of  these  wrere  of  Watertown, 
viz.:  Henry  Bright,  "  Sen."  [see  page  96],  and  Thomas  Bright,  who  purchased  the  house 


BRIGHT.  707 

and  homestall  lot  of  Lieut.  Robert  Feake,  and  sold  it,  Dec.  17.  1640,  for  £60,  to  Col.  Wil- 
liam Rainborow.  It  is  probable,  that  this  Thomas  Bright  went  to  Hampton,  about  the 
time  he  sold  his  house  and  land  in  Watertown.  NothiiTg  is  known  of  the  origin  or  the 
date  of  the  arrival  of  either  of  them.  [May  not  this  Thomas,  be  the  Thomas  Brighton, 
who  embarked  in  the  Truelove,  for  New  England,  in  Sept.,  1635,  then  aged  31?]  Rev. 
Francis  Bright,  son  of  Edward  Bright,  of  London,  came  over  in  1629,  in  company  with 
Mr.  Higginson.  settled  in  Charlestown,  and  returned  to  England  the  next  year.  [See 
Frothingham's  Hist,  of  Charlestown,  p.  25.]  Samuel  Bright,  servant  of  John  Sweet,  was 
adm.  f.  c,  first  church  in  Boston,  Sept.,  1644,  and  was  adm.  freeman,  May,  1645.  The 
name  Bright  appears  in  Salem,  in  1636,  and  in  Hampton,  in  1640,  but  it  is  not  known 
what  became  of  those  bearing  it.  The  name  occurs  frequently  in  Boston  in  the  last  cen- 
tury, as  early  as  1724,  in  church  records;  also  in  Dedham.  Most  of  those  in  the  United 
States,  out  of  New  England,  are  supposed  to  be  descended  from  early  settlers  of  this 
name  in  Pennsylvania. 


NOTES  TO  THE.  PEDIGREE  ON  PAGES  708-9. 

Note  1.  (I.  Generation.) — John  Bright,  of  the  Parish  of  St.  Mary,  Bury  St.  Edmunds, 
in  the  County  of  Suffolk,  maltster,  was  living  in  the  time  of  Henry  VIIL,  when  he  held 
lands  of  the  Abbot  of  that  place,  and  may  have  been  the  father  of  Walter,  Roger,  and 
Margaret  Bright.  This  is  the  only  one  of  the  pedigree  not  provable  by  Wills  and  parish 
registers.  The  register  of  the  Parish  of  St.  Mary,  although  it  begins  as  soon  as  any  in 
England,  1538,  is  not  sufficiently  old  to  contain  the  baptisms  of  those  first  named  in  the 
pedigree.  No  Will  of  this  John  Bright  has  been  discovered.  John  Bryghte  was  wit- 
ness to  the  Will  of  Anne  Buckenham,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  May  20,  1539.  He  was 
buried  June  26,  1545.  This  is  the  earliest  Bright  yet  ascertained  as  residing  in  Bury  St. 
Edmunds,  from  which  circumstance  it  may  be  inferred,  he  was  originally  of  another 
town  or  county.  The  name  is  common  in  the  adjoining  counties  of  Essex  and  Norfolk. 
It  is,  therefore,  possible  that  the  Brights  of  these  three  counties,  were  originally  from  the 
same  stock.  At  this  time,  there  is  but  one  person  of  the  name  living  in  the  County  of 
Suffolk,  and  he,  a  descendant  of  a  family  of  Shropshire,  whose  ancestor  settled  in  this 
county,  in  the  last  century. 

Note  2.  (II.  Gen.) — Walter  Bright,  of  the  Parish  of  St.  Mary,  Bury  St.  Edmunds, 
mercer,  was  a  man  of  wealth  and  consideration  in  that  place.  He  owned  a  house  in 
College  Street.  He  was  one  of  fifty-two  parishioners  of  St.  Mary's,  who,  in  1546, 
authorized  the  churchwardens,  of  whom  John  Bright  was  one,  to  sell  the  church  plate, 
for  the  repairs  of  the  church.  His  Will,  dated  October  28,  1550,  proved  in  the  Preroga- 
tive Court,  in  London,  Feb.  6,  1551,  provides  for  his  wife  Margaret,  she  to  have  his  dwell- 
ing-house in  College  Street  for  one  year,  and  all  the  property  she  brought  with  her.  His 
son,  John,  "to  have  a  harness  for  a  man,  with  half  a  sheaf  of  arrows."  Son  Edmund,  a 
house.  Son  Thomas,  to  have  a  close,  with  appurtenances,  in  Westgate  Street.  Legacies 
to  his  daughter  Joan,  wife  of  Thomas  Cage,  and  their  children,  Mary  and  John  ;  to  his 
brother  Roger  Bright,  and  his  sons,  Augustine,  Nicholas,  and  Thomas ;  to  his  sister 
Margaret  Page,  and  her  sons,  George  and  John.  Legacies  in  money,  to  all  his  children 
and  grandchildren,  to  the  poor,  and  to  St.  Mary's  Church.  The  name  of  his  first  wife, 
and  mother  of  all  his  children,  has  not  been  ascertained.  His  second  wife,  was  Margaret 
Elwolde.  It  is  possible  she  married,  after  his  decease,  Wm.  Jervis.  of  Whepstead,  Gent., 
as  Thomas  Bright  in  his  Will,  dated  August  20,  1587,  appoints  his  father-in-law,  said 
Wm.  Jervis,  supervisor. 

Of  the  descendants  of  the  other  sons  of  Walter,  viz.,  John  and  Edmund,  and  his 
daughters,  Joan  and  Katherine,  nothing  is  known  beyond  what  is  mentioned  in  the  pedigree. 

Note  3.  (II.  Gen.) — Ro^er  Bright,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  He  and  his  sons,  are  men- 
tioned in  his  brother,  Walter  Bright's,  Will,  October  28,  1550.  The  Will  of  his  widow 
Joan,  dated  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  Feb.  4,  1578,  and  proved  March  26,  15S0,  mentions  her 
son  Thomas  Bright,  and  his  children,  Thomas,  Agnes,  and  Margaret,  not  18  years  of  age

portrait,  procured   by  the  Corporation  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  hangs  in  the  Guildhall.     By 


BRIGHT.  711 

permission  of  the  town  authorities,  a  copy  has  been  made,  which  is  in  the  possession  of 
J.  B.  Bright,  of  Waltham,  Massachusetts.  His  wife  Margaret  (Payton)  Bright,  held  her 
first  Court  for  Butters  Hall  Manor,  August  14,  1590.  Her  Will  is  dated  Nov.  20,  1599,  and 
was  proved  in  the  Prerogative  Court,  at  London,  March,  1600.  She  was  then  residing  in 
London,  probably  with  her  son  Robert,  who  was  afterwards  of  Netherhall.  She  gave  to 
her  sons,  Robert,  Henry,  and  Jasper,  and  her  daughters  Anne  Reade,  Katherine  Barker, 
Joan  Houghton,  and  Susan  Barber,  £100  each:  to  the  children  of  her  sons  Thomas, 
Robert,  and  Henry ;  to  the  poor  of  the  Parishes  of  St.  James  and  St.  Mary,  in  Bury  St. 
Edmunds;  to  the  poor  of  Thompson,  in  Norfolk;  Barton  and  Risbie,  in  Suffolk.  Men- 
tions her  brothers,  Ralf  Payton,  Adam  Payton,  and  George  Payton;  sisters  Reyner.  and 
Rose  Langhan;  late  sister  Sybil  Hancock,  deceased,  and  sister  Margery  Wilson.  Appoints 
her  sons-in-law,  Bennet  Barker  and  Edmund  Houghton,  executors,  and  her  son  Robert 
Bright,  overseer.     He  wrote  his  name,  Bryght. 

There  are  some  records  of  proceedings  in  relation  to  Thomas  Bright's  legacy  of  £300, 
to  the  Guildhall  Feoffment,  down  to  1612,  but  there  is  no  distinct  or  separate  account  of  it 
subsequent  to  that  date. 

The  Suffolk  Directory,  for  1844,  contains  an  account  of  the  Guildhall  Feoffment :  a  list  of 
its  houses,  farms,  tenants,  &c,  vested  in  the  Guildhall  Feoffees  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  in 
trust,  for  the  public  use  and  benefit  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  town,  and  for  specific  chari- 
table purposes;  the  rents  in  1838  amounting  to  £2000.  Then  follows  a  list  of  donations, 
in  which  are  mentioned  those  of  Thomas  Bright,  Sen.  (viz.  £300,  besides  the  tithes  of 
Foxearth);  by  Thomas  Bright,  Jr.  (viz.  in  the  time  of  Charles  I.,  two  messuages  in  the 
Fish  or  Meat  Market,  afterwards  burnt  down) ;  and  by  Lady  Carew  [dr.  of  Thomas 
Bright,  Sen.]  (viz.  £100  laid  out  for  a  tenement  and  land,  called  Jeckes,  at  Hepworth). 
From  this  we  may  infer,  that  these  legacies  have  not  been  squandered  nor  diverted  from 
their  original  purposes,  but  they  probably  became  merged  in,  or  incorporated  with,  other 
possessions  held  by  the  Feoffees. 

It  is  to  be  observed  that  in  the  time  of  Thomas  Bright,  Sen.,  money  was  of  eight  times 
its  present  value,  which  would  make  his  bequest  equal  to  £2,400  at  the  present  time. 

Wright's  His.  of  Essex,  Vol.  I.,  p.  573,  says,  "Mr.  Bright  left  an  annuity  of  £12  to  be 
paid  out  of  the  estate  of  Brookhall,  for  poor  prisoners  and  widows,  and  for  the  use  of  St. 
Edmundsbury  school." 

Note  8.  (IV.  Gen.) — Thomas  Bright,  son  of  Thomas,  the  elder,  of  the  Parish  of  St. 
James,  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  was  alderman  or  chief  magistrate  of  Bury,  in  1610.  His 
arms  were  entered  in  the  Herald's  College,  by  William  Camden,  Clarencieux,  14  James 
I.  (1616).  He  received  by  Will,  from  his  father,  the  Manor  of  Butters,  in  Thompson, 
Co.  of  Norfolk,  and  held  his  first  court  there,  August  6,  1620. 

He  was  supervisor  of  the  Will  of  his  aunt  Alice,  and  one  of  the  executors  of  his  father's 
Will.  He  died  in  1626,  and  was  buried  in  the  churchyard  of  St.  Mary,  Bury  St.  Edmunds. 
By  Deed,  in  1625,  he  gave  to  the  poor  of  St.  Mary's  Church;  to  the  prisoners  in  the 
county  gaol;  for  the  repairs  of  the  churches  of  St.  Mary  and  St.  James;  and  for  cakes 
and  wine  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Feoffees. 

Nothing  further  than  what  is  mentioned  in  the  pedigree  is  known  of  his  wives,  Mar- 
garet Kent,  and  Margaret  Beton.  Mary,  wife  of  Thomas  Bright,  gent.,  was  buried  in  the 
Parish  of  St.  Mary,  September  4,  1625,  probably  a  third  wife  of  this  Thomas. 

His  name  appears  in  the  first  charter  from  James  I.,  dated  April  3,  1606,  to  Bury  St. 
Edmunds,  and  also  in  the  third  charter  of  James  I.,  to  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  dated  Sep- 
tember 17.  1614. 

His  grandson,  Thomas  Bright,  in  his  Will,  dated  March  1,  1709,  bequeaths  to  the  town 
of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  a  portrait  of  King  Edmund,  which  he  desires  may  be  hung  in  the 
same  room  with  that  of  his  grandfather.  Neither  of  these  pictures  can  now  be  found. 
That  of  Thomas  Bright,  the  elder,  is  still  in  existence,  and  easily  distinguished  by  the 
inscription  at  the  bottom. 

Note  9.  (IV.  Gen.) — Robert  Bright,  son  of  Thomas,  the  elder,  moved  to  London, 
where  he  was  living  in  1600.  He  subsequently  became  lord  of  the  manors  of  Netherhall, 
in  Thurston,  and  "New  House,"  in  Pakenham,  both  in  the  County  of  Suffolk.  He  had 
arms  confirmed  to  him,  as  second  brother  of  Thomas  Bright,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  with 
a  crescent  on  the  bend,  for  difference.  In  1620,  he  built  the  manor  house  called  "  New 
House,"  in  a  very  elaborate  style  of  architecture.  He  made  his  Will,  October  1,  1630, 
which  was  proved  in  the  Bishop's  Court  of  Norwich,  March  1,  1631.  He  gives  to  his  son 
Thomas,  who  succeeded  to  the  Netherhall  Estate,  a  tenement  called  Battlelies.     To  his 


712  BRIOHT. 

son  William,  a  farm,  called  Barton  Place,  with  the  fisheries  thereunto  belonging.  To  his 
son  Henry,  "New  House,"  in  Pakenham,  houses  and  lands  in  Cockfield,  and  lands  in 
Norton.  Legacies  to  his  brother-in-law,  Thomas  Reade,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds;  to  his 
three  sisters,  Lady  Carew,  Katherine,  wife  of  Bennet  Barker,  and  Joan,  wife  of  Edmund 
Houghton  ;  also  to  Thomas,  son  of  his  brother,  Jasper  Bright.  His  estates  were  extensive 
in  the  County  of  Suffolk,  all  of  which,  in  consequence  of  the  failure  of  male  issue,  in 
subsequent  generations,  have  gone  with  the  females  to  other  families.  As  the  wife  of 
Robert  Bright  is  not  mentioned  in  his  Will,  it  is  to  be  presumed  she  died  before  him.  Her 
family  is  not  known.     [See  p.  100.] 

Netherhall  stands  partly  in  Pakenham  and  partly  in  Thurston,  near  the  parish  church  of 
the  former,  and  about  six  miles  from  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  The  Ashfields,  Knights,  who 
were  originally  of  Stowlangtoft,  appear  to  have  been  seated  here  about  the  time  of  Henry 
VIII.,  and  it  passed  to  the  Brights  about  a  century  afterwards.  The  Hall  has  undergone 
some  changes  in  its  exterior,  and  now,  1853,  belongs  to  William  Chinery  Bassett,  Esq., 
who  is  lord  of  the  manor.  "New  House"  was  sold  to  Sir  William  Spring,  for  a  dower 
house  for  his  lady,  soon  after  the  death  of  Robert  Bright.  It  is  now  the  seat  of  its  owner, 
the  Rev.  W.  J.  Spring  Casborne,  who  is  also  impropriator  of  the  Rectory.  Mr.  Casborne 
inherits  the  estate  through  the  female  line,  from  Sir  William  Spring,  the  male  issue  being 
extinct. 

Note  10.  (IV.  Gen.) — Henry  Bright,  son  of  Thomas  the  elder,  was  of  the  Parish  of  St. 
James,  Bury  St.  Edmunds;  where  he  was  baptized  September  20,  1560.  He  died  in 
1609,  intestate.  A  chasm  in  the  administration  records  between  the  years  1609  and  1630, 
deprives  us  of  some  facts  in  relation  to  the  family,  which  it  would  be  desirable  to  know. 
He  was  a  man  of  considerable  wealth,  and  proprietor  of  several  estates  in  Bury  St.  Ed- 
munds, and  the  neighboring  villages.  An  Indenture,  dated  March  20,  1606,  is  among  the 
corporation  records,  by  which  Henry  Bright,  and  his  wife  Mary,  lease  to  the  town,  for 
certain  purposes,  the  Angel  Hotel,  a  messuage  in  Cook's  Row,  Abbeygate  Street,  and 
several  tenements,  shops,  &c,  in  various  parts  of  the  town.  He  owned  houses  adjoining 
the  Angel  Hotel,  which  are  still  standing.  His  name  appears  in  the  first  charter  from 
James  I.,  to  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  dated  April  3,  1606.  Of  his  wife's  family,  nothing  has 
yet  been  ascertained.  After  his  death  she  married  William  Cole,  Gent.,  of  Bury  St. 
Edmunds.  She  is  mentioned  in  the  Will  of  her  son  Thomas  Bright,  of  Ipswich,  dated 
April  17,  1618. 

Note  11.  (IV.  Gen.) — Susan  Bright,  daughter  of  Thomas  Bright  the  elder,  was  first 

married  to Barber.     She  is  mentioned  in  her  father's,  mother's,  and  brother  Robert 

Bright's,  Wills.  Her  second  husband  was  Sir  Nicholas  Carew,  Knight,  of  Beddington,  in 
the  Co.  of  Surrey,  and  she  was  his  second  wife.  His  first  wife  was  Maria,  daughter  of 
Sir  George  More,  Knight,  of  Losely.  His  sister,  Elizabeth  Carew,  was  the  wife  of  Sir 
Walter  Raleigh,  Knight.  Lady  Susan  Carew  died  at  Beddington,  in  1638,  and  was  buried 
in  the  church  there.  She  gave  the  feoffees  of  the  Guildhall  Feoffment,  at  Bury  St.  Ed- 
munds, £100.  for  the  purchasing  of  lands  to  the  yearly  value  of  £5,  which  was  to  be 
equally  distributed  to  five  poor  widows.  It  was  laid  out  in  the  purchase  of  a  tenement 
called  Jeckes,  in  Hepworth,  in  1636. 

Her  son  Thomas  Carew,  died  in  infancy.  She  also  had  a  daughter  Susan  Carew,  of 
whom  nothing  further  is  known. 

Note  12.  (V.  Gen.) — Mary  Bright,  daughter  of  Henry,  and  granddaughter  of  Thomas 
Bright,  the  elder,  married  William  Forth,  of  Nayland,  Co.  of  Suffolk,  Gent.,  son  of  Wil- 
liam Forth,  Esq.,  of  Butley,  in  the  same  county,  of  an  ancient  and  highly  respectable 
family,  one  of  whom  married  John  Winthrop,  of  Groton,  who  emigrated  to  New  England. 
Her  husband  was  one  of  the  overseers,  and  her  son,  Dr.  William  Forth,  of  London, 
executor  of  the  Will  of  her  sister,  Elizabeth  (Bright)  Dell,  widow,  of  Stratford-le-Bow,  in 
Middlesex. 

Note  13.  (V.  Gen.) — Thomas  Bright,  son  of  Henry,  and  grandson  of  Thomas  Bright, 
the  elder,  was  baptized  at  the  Parish  of  St.  James,  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  He  was  a  mer- 
chant in  Ipswich,  and  died  unmarried.  His  Will,  dated  April  17,  1618,  proved  in  the

the  21st  day  of  December, 

In  the  year  of  our  Lord  Christ 

1736, 

Aged  23  years. 

Note  23.  (VIII,  Gen.)— Mary  Bright  of  Netherhall,  sister  and  heiress  of  Thomas  Bright,  and 
the  last  of  that  branch  of  the  family,  married  Edmund  Tyrrell,  Esq.,  of  Gipping,  in  Suffolk, 
widower.  She  was  living  in  1754.  During  her  life,  the  Netherhall  Estate  was  sold  to 
George  Chinery,  Gent.,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  It  now  belongs  to  William  Chinery  Bassett, 
who,  with  his  mother,  resides  there.  Edmund  Tyrrell  was  baptized  at  Benhall,  Co.  of 
Suffolk,  Sept.  9,  1703.  He  was  the  son  of  Thomas  Tyrrell,  Esq.,  of  Gipping,  and  Anne, 
daughter  of  Sir  John  Duke,  Bart.,  M.P.  for  Oxford.  By  the  death  of  his  uncle,  Sir  Edward 
Duke,  without  issue,  he  became  heir  to  his  estates.  His  will,  dated  August  15,  1746,  was 
proved  in  the  Bishop's  Court  at  Norwich,  January  8,  1749.  He  desires  to  be  buried  in 
the  family  aisle  in  Stowmarket  Church.  The  patronage  of  the  vicarage  of  St.  Peter's 
Church,  in  Thurston,  once  in  the  gift  of  the  Brights  of  Netherhall,  is  still  in  the  Tyrrell 
family,  Charles  Tyrrell,  Esq.,  of  Polstead  Hall,  being  the  present  patron.  Gipping  has  for 
many  ages  been  the  seat  of  a  branch  of  this  very  ancient  family,  whose  ancestors  may 
be  very  satisfactorily  traced  to  the  period  of  the  Norman  Conquest,  and  for  more  than  six 
centuries,  its  chief,  in  a  direct  line,  enjoyed  the  honor  of  Knighthood.  They  derive  from 
Walter  Tyrrell,  a  Norman  Knight.  It  has  not  been  ascertained  whether  this  Mary  (Bright) 
Tyrrell  left  children. 


BRIGHT.  715 

Note  24.  (V.  Gen.) — John  Bright,  Gent.,  son  of  Thomas,  and  grandson  of  Thomas 
Bright,  the  elder,  was  baptized  in  the  parish  of  St.  James,  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  He  was 
Alderman  (chief  magistrate)  of  Bury,  as  was  his  father  and  grandfather  before  him,  and 
a  Captain  in  the  Parliamentary  army.  He  sold  the  estate  in  Thompson,  and  bought  the 
manor  of  Talmach  Hall,  in  Little  Bricet,  Co.  of  Suffolk.  He  died  March  17,  1660,  aged 
67  years.  His  Will,  dated  January  14,  1659-60,  proved  in  the  Prerogative  Court,  in 
London,  May  8,  1661,  gives  to  his  wife  Mary  his  houses  and  lands  in  Bury  St.  Edmunds; 
mentions  his  sons  Thomas  and  William,  his  sister  Gibbon's  children,  and  his  grandchild, 
John  Salter;  speaks  of  lands  and  tenements  in  Brockford  and  Wetheringsett,  which  he 
purchased  of  Thomas  Colby.  Gent.,  and  lands  and  tenements  in  Ireland.  He  was  buried 
in  Bricet  Church,  where  a  beautiful  marble  monument  against  the  north  wall,  near  the 
chancel,  surmounted  with  the  family  arms,  impaling  those  of  Style  and  North,  perpetuates 
his  memory.     [See  p.  102.]

16  SO. 

This  inscription  gives  his  death  in  1670,  which  is  an  error.  It  should  be  1660.  His  wife, 
Mary  Style,  was  the  daughter  of  Wm.  Style,  of  Hemingstone,  in  the  Co.  of  Suffolk,  Gent. 
Her  second  husband  was  the  Hon.  John  North,  son  of  Dudley,  third  Lord  North.  Tal- 
mach Hall,  the  manor-house  in  the  Parish  of  Little  Bricet,  is  so  called  from  its  ancient 
possessors.  In  21st  Edward  I.  [1292],  Hugh  Talmach,  and  Maria,  his  wife,  held  lands 
here  of  the  Countess  of  Gloucester,  and  his  descendants  continued  here  until  7  Edward 
VI.  [1553],  when  John  Talmach  was  the  owner.  It  afterwards  belonged  to  the  family  of 
Kemp,  and  then  to  the  Brights.  It  is  now  the  property  of  William  Adair,  Esq.  The  Hall 
still  exists  as  a  farm-house,  though  much  dilapidated.  The  principal  portion  of  the  build- 
ing was  taken  down  about  40  years  since,  and  hardly  a  vestige  of  its  former  greatness 
remains.  It  was  once  surrounded  by  a  moat,  traces  of  which  are  still  perceptible.  The 
Brights  of  this  place  were  interred  in  Bricet  Church.  Little  Bricet  (which,  in  1844,  was  a 
small  hamlet,  with  only  25  inhabitants,  and  the  farm  of  Talmach  Hall),  was  annexed  to 
Offton  in  1503.  It  is  30  miles  from  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  and  12  from  Ipswich.   [See  p.  101.] 

Note  25.  (V.  Gen  )— Edmund  Bright,  Gent.,  of  Holywell  Row,  Mildenhall,  Co.  of  Suf- 
folk, baptized  at  St.  James,  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  was  a  grandson  of  Thomas  Bright,  the 
elder.  His  Will,  dated  January  9,  1658,  proved  in  the  Prerogative  Office,  London,  March 
7,  1659,  gives  to  his  godson,  Mr.  Thomas  Bright,  son  of  his  brother,  Mr.  John  Bright,  all 
his  houses  and  lands  in  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  houses  and  lands  in  Holywell  Row,  and  Beck 
Row,  in  Mildenhall;  legacies  to  his  brother,  Mr.  Thomas  Bright;  to  his  cousin,  Thomas 
Bright;  to  his  godson,  the  son  of  his  cousin,  Henry  Bright,  deceased;  to  his  sister,  Mrs. 
Mary  Bright,  and  to  his  cousin  John  Gibbons,  his  sister's  son.  Gives  a  rent-charge  of  four 
pounds  per  annum  to  the  poor,  which  continues  to  be  paid  to  this  day,  at  the  parish  of  St. 
Mary,  in  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  Desires  to  be  buried  in  the  churchyard  of  St.  Mary's,  in 
Bury  St.  Edmunds,  near  his  parents,  and  his  wife  and  son.  Edmund,  son  of  Edmund 
Bright,  baptized  at  St.  Mary's,  July  19,  1633,  was  probably  this  son.  His  wife  Susan  was 
the  daughter  of  Edward  Alston,  of  Boxford,  Co.  of  Suffolk,  clothier,  and  granddaughter  of 
William  Alston,  Lord  of  Sayham  Hall,  in  Newton,  in  the  same  county.  A  rent-charge  of 
40s.,  given  by  Edmund  Bright,  is  yet  distributed  among  the  poor  parishioners  of  St.  An- 
drew's Church,  in  Mildenhall,  out  of  land  at  Coldham  Hills. 


716  BRIGHT. 

Note  26.  (VI.  Gen.)— William  Bright,  Esq.,  succeeded  to  Talmach  Hall,  on  the  death 
of  his  father,  John  Bright,  in  1660.  His  own  estate,  in  1656,  was  represented  to  be  worth 
£400  per  annum.  He  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Henry  North,  of  Laxfield,  Co.  Suffolk, 
son  of  Sir  Henry  North,  of  Mildenhall,  in  the  same  county.  Knight,  who  was  a  younger 
son  of  Roger,  second  Lord  North. 

His  second  wife  was  Sarah  Gilson,  whom  he  married  3lst  August,  1704.  He  was  buried

Sarah  married  Edward  Luther,  Esq.,  of  Myles,  in  Essex,  and  had  with  other  issue, 
Richard  Luther,  Esq.,  eventually  inheritor  of  the  Dawtrey  estates. 

Note  27.  (VI.  Gen.)— John  Bright,  of  Talmach  Hall,  Gent.,  son  of  John,  was  baptized 
at  Bury  St.  Edmunds.  He  died  at  Talmach  Hall,  and  was  buried  in  Bricet  Church,  where

Note  28.  (VI.  Gen.)— Thomas  Bright,  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  son  of  John  Bright,  of 
Talmach  Hall,  and  great  grandson  of  Thomas  Bright,  the  elder,  is  mentioned  in  his 
father,  John  Blight's,  Will,  January  14,  1659-60.  He  died  Feb.  20,  1710,  aged  72  years. 
His  Will  is  dated  March  1,  1709,  and  proved  at  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  May  18,  1711,  in  which 
he  desires  to  be  laid  in  Bury  Churchyard,  where  his  wife  Dorothy  is  buried ;  makes  his

munds, King  Edmund's  picture,  to  be  hung  up  in  the  chamber  where  my  grandfather  Mr. 
Thomas  Bright's  picture,  now  hangs.  I  give  to  Mr.  Sam.  Bury,  a  picture  or  a  landscape, 
now  hanging  over  my  great  parlour  chimney.  I  give  to  my  she  cousin,  Fisher,  a  picture, 
is  now  in  my  little  parlour,  of  Mary  Waters,  the  widow  of  Robert  Honeywood,  of  Charing,

BRIGHT.  717 

On  the  west  end  of  the  monument, — 

Here  Lieth  the  Body  of

Mary  Waters,  whose  portrait  he  bequeathed  to  his  cousin  Fisher,  was  the  daughter  of 
Robert  Waters,  Esq.,  of  Royton,  in  the  Parish  of  Lenham,  and  Co.  of  Kent,  and  his  wife 
Katherine  Bright,  of  Royton.  From  this,  it  is  inferred,  that  Mary  Waters  was  related  to 
the  Brights  of  Suffolk.  She  was  a  remarkable  woman.  In  Wright's  His.  of  Essex,  Vol. 
1,  p  371,  is  an  account  of  the  family  of  Robert  Honeywood,  and  of  Marks  Hall,  the 
place  where  they  resided,  with  a  view  of  the  hall.  There  are  several  portraits  of  Mary 
Waters,  one  at  the  Hall,  and  one  at  Coleshill,  in  Berkshire,  the  seat  of  the  Earl  of  Radnor, 
who  is  descended  from  her,  as  is  likewise  his  lady,  through  her  molher  Lady  Mildmay'. 
There  is  also  a  marble  statue  of  her  in  the  church  at  Marks  Hall,  as  kneeling,  with  an  in- 
scription. She  lived  to  see  367  descendants,  viz.:  16  children.  114  grandchildren,  228 
in  the  3d,  and  9  in  the  4th  generation.  Her  grandson,  Dr.  Michael  Honeywood,  Dean  of 
Lincoln,  in  King  Charles  II.'s  time  ;  and  whose  monument  is  in  the  Minster,  used  to  relate, 
that  he  was  present  at  a  dinner  given  by  her  to  a  family  party  of  200  of  her  descendants. 
She  was  born  1527,  married  in  1543,  and  died  May  11,  1620. 

Note  29.  Luther,  Dawtrey,  and  Chamberlen.  The  family  of  Luther,  allied  to  the 
celebrated  reformer,  is  first  mentioned  as  of  the  County  of  Essex,  in  the  reign  of  Henry 
VIII.,  when  Wm.  Luter  had  a  lease  from  the  crown,  of  the  Manor  of  Albinis,  in  Staple- 
ford  Abbots.  Richard  and  Anthony  Luther,  Esqs.,  "so  truly  loving  brothers,"  as  is  ex- 
pressed in  their  epitaph,  "that  no  account  whatsoever  was  kept  between  them,"  died  in 
1627,  and  were  owners  of  the  Manor  of  Miles.  Richard  Luther,  the  father  of  John, 
inherited  the  large  estates  of  his  uncle,  Sir  Wm.  Dawtrey,  Knt.,  and  was  one  of  the  great 
landed  proprietors  of  Essex.  John  Luther  spent  £50,000  in  the  contest  when  elected 
M.  P.  for  that  county.  Dying  without  issue,  his  sister,  Charlotte  Luther,  married  to  Henry 
Fane,  Esq.,  of'  Wormsley,  Co.  Oxford,  younger  brother  of  Thomas,  8th  Earl  of  Westmore- 
land ;  and  Rebecca  Luther,  married  to  John  Taylor,  Esq.,  grandmother  of  John  Taylor 
Gordon,  M.D.,  were  his  heirs.  John  Taylor  Gordon,  M.D.  and  John  Fane,  are  the  present 
representatives  of  these  ancient  families  of  Dawtrey  and  Luther.  The  latter  owns  the 
Manor  of  Miles.  The  Dawtreys  are  deducible  in  an  uninterrupted  descent  from  the  con- 
quest. John  de  Alta  Ripa,  obtaining  from  Joscelyne,  of  Louvaine,  a  grant  of  the  Manor 
of  Haultrey,  assumed  the  surname  of  De  Haultrey,  or  Dawtrey,  and  founded  the  distin- 
guished Sussex  family  of  that  name,  and  were  descended  through  Margaret  Roper,  wife 
of  Sir  Wm.  Dawtrey,  Knt.,  of  Moor  House,  Esq.,  from  Sir  Thomas  More,  Lord  Chancellor 
of  England.  Sir  Wm.  Dawtrey,  Knt.  of  Moor  House,  and  Doddinghurst  Place,  son  of 
Thomas  and  Sarah  (Bright)  Dawtrey,  was  Sheriff  of  Essex,  in  1736,  and  died  in  1758. 
Charlotte  Chamberlen,  wife  of  Richard  Luther,  was  daughter  of  Hugh  Chamberlen,  M.D., 
of  Alderton  Manor,  and  Hinton  Hall,  in  Suffolk,  the  celebrated  court  physician  in  the 
time  of  James  II.,  and  Queen  Anne;  now  represented  by  John  Taylor  Gordon,  M.D. 

Note  30.  (VI.  Gen.)— The  children  of  Henry  and  Martha  (Fiske)  Bright,  of  Netherhall, 
viz.:  Robert  Bright,  of  Ipswich,  Grocer.  His  Will,  dated  May  29,  1668,  and  proved  July 
3,  1668,  gives  to  his  brother-in-law,  Francis  Woodward,  £50;  to  his  brother,  John  Bright, 
£250;  to  his  sister,  Martha  Bright,  £50  ;  to  his  brother,  William  Bright,  £3  to  buy  him  a 
gold  ring;  to  his  co-partner,  William  Sayer,  £10;  to  his  mother,  Mrs.  Martha  Bright,  £10; 
to  the  poor  of  the  Parish  of  St.  Lawrence,  405.;  to  the  poor  of  the  Parish  of  Pakenham, 
40s.;  to  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Sayer,  his  partner's  mother,  £3  to  buy  a  gold  ring;  to  his  brother, 
Henry  Bright,  £100;  to  his  brother,  Thomas  Bright,  £100.  Appoints  his  brothers,  Henry 
and  Thomas  Bright,  executors. 

Thomas  Bright,  of  Ipswich,  Gent.,  one  of  the  bailiffs  and  portmen  of  that  town.  His 
Will,  dated  June  17,  1698,  and  proved  Feb.  11,  1698-9,  mentions  his  sister  Katherine 
Woodward,  of  London,  widow;  his  brother,  Henry  Bright,  of  Framisden,  in  Suffolk, 
Gent.:  the  two  sons  of  his  brother-in-law,  Robert  Nicholas,  living  at  Devises,  in  Wiltshire, 


718  BRIGHT. 

6ent.,  who  married  his  sister,  Martha  Bright :  his  cousin,  Thomas  Meadows,  of  Holborn, 
London  ;  his  cousin  Chapman,  Minister  of  Framisden,  John  Gibbon,  of  Ipswich,  and 
his  kinsman,  John  Copeman,  of  Ipswich ;  also  his  cousin,  Captain  William  Bright,  of  Hull, 
to  whom  he  gives  all  his  messuages,  tenements,  houses,  lands,  &c,  in  Copdock,  and  other 
towns  and  parishes  in  Suffolk;  legacies  to  several  persons  for  gloves,  hat-bands,  &c. ; 
directs,  that  there  shall  be  engraven  on  the  stone  now  lying  over  his  wife,  the  day  of  his 
death,  who  was  bailiff  and  portman  of  the  town  of  Ipswich;  appoints  John  Copeman, 
executor,  and  his  sister  Woodward,  supervisor.  From  his  not  mentioning  his  brothers, 
John  Bright  and  William  Bright  (noticed  in  his  brother,  Robert  Bright's,  Will,  in  1668),  it 
is  presumed  they  were  deceased.  It  is  probable,  that  his  cousin,  Captain  William  Bright, 
of  Hull,  whom  he  makes  his  principal  heir,  was  a  son  of  his  uncle  William  Bright,  of 
Netherhall,  respecting  whom  nothing  yet  has  been  ascertained,  beyond  his  name. 
Thomas  Bright  also  bequeathed  by  his  VVill  £100  stg.,  to  be  put  out  on  good  security,  or 
else  to  be  laid  out  in  the  purchase  of  land,  by  the  bailiffs  and  portmen  of  Ipswich, 
and  their  successors,  for  the  only  use  and  benefit  of  two  poor  children  of  the  Parish  of  St. 
Mathews,  in  Ipswich,  in  the  hospital  of  said  town,  forever.  The  "Suffolk  Directory" 
(1844),  mentions  land  purchased  in  1722,  with  £340,  left  to  the  Hospital  by  Thomas 
Bright,  and  Richard  Philips.

for  the  colony.    Aug.  27,  1640,  he  was  appointed  by  the  court,  and  sworn  as  surveyor

BROOKS  —  (I.)  THOMAS  BROOKS*  Neither  the  date  of  his  arrival,  nor  the  place 
of  his  embarkation  has  been  ascertained  ;  but  there  is  reason  to  suppose  that  he  came 
from  London.  He  first  settled  in  Watertown,  and  was  one  of  the  "  townsmen  then 
inhabiting,''  to  whom  the  Beaver  Brook  plowlands  were  granted  in  1636.  He  was 
adm.  freeman,  Dec.  7,  1636,  while  he  resided  in  Watertown.  It  is  evident  that  he 
could  not  be  the  Thomas  Brooke  who  embarked  in  May.  1635.  then  aged  twenty,  in 
company  with  Rev.  Peter  Bulkley.  The  second  son,  perhaps  the  third  child,  of  Capt. 
Thomas  Brooks,  of  Concord,  was  born  1632,  when  the  other  Thomas  was  only  17 
years  old.  He  moved  very  soon  from  Watertown  to  Concord,  of  which  he  was  cap- 
tain, and  he  received  various  other  appointments  of  honour  and  trust.  The  General 
Court  appointed  him  constable  of  Concord,  Dec.  8,  1638,  and  he  was  representative 
in  1642,  '43,  '44,  and  four  years  after  1650.  In  1640,  he  was  apprizer  of  horses,  cattle, 
&c,  for  the  purpose  of  taxation,  and  appointed  to  prevent  drunkenness  among  the 
Indians.  In  1657,  he  purchased  of  the  commissioners  of  the  General  Court,  for  £5, 
the  right  of  carrying  on  the  fur  trade  in  Concord.  In  1660,  he  and  his  son-in-law,  Timothy 
Wheeler,  jointly  purchased  of  Edward  Collins,  400  acres  in  Medford  for  £404,  two-thirds 
forhimself,  and  one-third  for  Wheeler.  HiswifeGRACE  d.  May  12,  1664,  and  the  next 
Oct.  22,  he  sold  his  housedot  in  Concord;  but  he  remained  in  Concord, and  died  there 
May  21,  1667,  intestate.  His  inventory,  by  Dea.  Merriam.  Dea.  Potter,  and  George 
Wheeler,  amounted  to  £448  3s.,  and  his  debts  to  £26  5s.  2d.  His  three  sons  and  son- 
in-law  presented  the  Inventory  for  probate,  June  16,  1667,  and  the  next  day  signed 
the  following  agreement. 

"Whereas  Thomas  Brooks,  of  Concord,  has  left  an  estate,  and  the  sons  of  the  said 
Thomas,  not  willing  to  trouble  the  Court,  have  jointly  agreed  as  followeth:  1st.  That 
the  Inventory  taken  by  Dea.  Merriam,  Dea.  Potter,  and  George  Wheeler  shall  be  ac- 
counted the  full  estate  of  Thomas  Brooks.  2d.  We  do  agree  that  Joshua  Brooks 
shall  have  a  full  double  portion  out  of  the  lands  at  Medford.  and  that  the  three  other 
sons,  Capt.  Timothy  Wheeler,  Caleb  Brooks,  and  Gershom  Brooks,  to  have  equal 
portions,  only  Caleb  and  Gershom  are  to  have  the  remainder  of  the  said  lands,  after 
Joshua  is  first  accommodated,  as  a  part  of  their  portion,  and  Timothy  Wheeler  out 
of  the  movable  estate,  and  all  to  be  distributed  by  [to]  them  by  those  three  parties 

*  As  Capt.  Thomas  Brooks  first  settled  in  Watertown,  and  as  there  are  numerous  alliances  between  his  de- 
scendants and  other  families  in  this  volume,  we  insert  the  following  genealogy,  although  it  cannot  with  pro- 
priety be  called  a  Watertovvn  family.  This  Genealogy  is  very  deficient  in  some  parts. — much  less  copious 
and  satisfactory,  especially  in  the  issue  of  his  eldes'  son,  than  it  may  be  made  by  careful  research,  and  by  a 
ready  co-operation  of  those  who  are  able  to  aid  in  the  undertaking.  For  our  materials  we  are  chiefly  in- 
debted to  the  researches  of  Mr.  William  G.  Brooks  [173],  of  Boston.  He  is  still  prosecuting  his  researches, 
and  any  contribution  from  any  source  will  be  thankfully  received.  We  hope  that  what  is  here  presented 
will  awaken  attention,  and  an  increased  interest  in  the  subject.

BULL. — In  first  line,  for  1656,  read  1652.  William  Bull,  of  Wat.,  was  a  son  of  Wil- 
liam Bull,  of  Cambridge.     In  a  suit,  in  1683,  he  is  called  "  William  Bull,  Jr." 

BULLARD.— June  17,  1679.  Testimony  of  Mary  Bullard  (wife  of  William  Bul- 
lard,  of  Charlestown  [father  of  Nathaniel],  formerly  wife  of  Francis  Grissell  [Gris- 
wold].  of  Charlestown,  whose  Inventory  was  dated  Nov.  9,  1652),  "That  before  I  was 
married,  I  told  my  husband  (VVm.  B.)  I  had  two  children,  and  an  estate  by  him"  (F. 
G.)     Win.  Bullard  and  wife  Mary  had  belonged  to  Camb.  Church. 

[2.]  It  is  supposed  that  Benjamin  Bullard  was  a  brother  of  Robert  and  George,  as  well 
as  of  Maudlin  and  Anne.  When  he  (B.  B.)  demanded  of  the  selectmen  the  estate  of 
his  father-indaw,  Thorpe,  the  selectmen  say,  Mar.  29,  1672,  "we  find  the  land  of 
Thorpe,  at  his  decease,  was  Bullard's,  and  his  two  sisters'  [?  Maudlin  and  Anna], 
but  the  use  of  the  estate  was  Goodman  Whittacar's  till  Nov.  12,  1672." 

[3.]  George  Bullard  m.  (1st)  Beatrice  Hall,  of  Boston.  "Beatrice  Hall,  now  wife  of 
George  Bulward,  of  Watertown,"  was  dismissed  from  the  First  Church  of  Boston,  Nov. 
17,  1644.  Ap.  4,  1644,  George  Bulward,  of  Wat.,  sold  to  Thomas  Straight,  his  home- 
stall,  a  house  and  8  acres,  bounded  west  by  John  Knolls;  E.  by  Esther  Pickeram;  S. 
by  highway;  N.  by  Maudlin  and  Anna  Bullward.  This  was  the  homestall  of  G.  B. 
in  the  list  of  possessions,  1642-4.  At  a  meeting  of  the  selectmen,  Dec.  23,  1684,  it 
was  ordered  that  John  Ball,  son-indaw,  and  Jonathan  Bullard,  a  son,  be  notified  of 
the  necessity  of  help  for  father  Bullard  and  his  wife. 
p.  148.  [4.]  Jacob  Bullard,  was  in  Wat.  in  1680,  when  John  Bigelow  brought  a  suit 
against  him;  and  in  1683,  when  John  Nevinson  brought  a  suit  against  him  for 
slander.  At  a  meeting  of  the  selectmen,  Jan.  30,  1709-10,  ordered  that  the  selectmen 
address  the  Judges  of  the  Supreme  Court,  concerning  Jacob  Bullard,  an  aged  blind 
person,  who  is  unhappily  sent  from  another  province.     He  was  buried  Nov.  21,  1715.

149.  BUSBY. — In  Oct.,  1637,  Nicholas  Busby  was  admitted  an  inhabitant  of  Newbury 
[Coffin,  24].  He  could  have  remained  there  only  a  short  time,  as  he  was  a  selectman 
of  Wat.,  in  1640.  Oct.  4,  1653,  John  White,  and  wife  Frances,  of  Boston,  sold  to 
John  Coolidge,  7  acres  of  land  in  Wat.,  [bounded  N.  and  W.  by  pastor  Sherman:  E. 
by  Garritt  Church  ;  S.  by  highway]  ;  "  originally  granted  to  Nicholas  Busby,"  by  him 
sold  to  John  Stebbin,  and  by  him  sold  to  John  White.  The  Will  of  Nicholas  Busby, 
of  Boston,  dated  July  25,  proved  Sept.  10,  1657,  makes  his  wife  (not  named)  sole 
exec'x. ;  mentions  eldest  son  John  (in  England),  and  son  Abraham  ;  eldest  daughters 
Anne  Nickerson  (wife  of  Wm.),  Katherine  Savory,  youngest  daughter  Sarah  Grout; 
Joseph  Busby,  son  of  his  son  Nicholas,  deceased;  and  Sarah  Grout,  his  grandchild. 
It  mentions  money  and  plate,  which  he  gave  to  his  wife:  books  in  "  Phisicke," 
11  Divinitie"  and  "History/"'  bequeathed  to  his  two  sons,  and  three  Bibles  to  his  three 
daughters.  As  his  drs.  Anne  and  Katherine  did  not  embark  with  him,  it  is  probable 
that  they  were  married  in  England.  It  is  also  probable,  that  his  dr.  Sarah,  m.  (1st), 
Ens.  Thomas  Cakebread,  and  afterwards  Capt.  John  Grout.  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  viii.  p. 
278.]     Oct.  14,  1643,  the  Gen.  Court  granted  him  a  bounty  of  34s.,  for  making  cloth.

He  was  one  of  the  original  members  (1637)  of  the  Ancient  and  Hon.  Art.  Co.,  and 
in  Sept.,  1642,  after  the  return  of  Capt.  B.  Pendleton,  to  Wat.,  the  General  Court  ap- 
pointed Ensign  Cakebread.  "to  lead  the  company  of  Sudbury  as  ensign."  His  name 
has  sometimes  been  confounded  with  that  of  Capt.  Thomas  Bredcake,  a  mariner,  who 
obtained  a  commission  against  the  Turks,  in  1644;  after  the  decease  of  Ensign 
Thomas  Cakebread,  who  d.  in  Sud.,  Jan  4,  1643-4.  He  m.,  subsequently  to  Ap., 
1637,  Sarah,  dr.  of  Nicholas  Busby.  His  wid.  Sarah,  m.  Capt.  John  Grout.  [See 
Busby,  also  Grout,  in  Part  II.]  It  has  not  been  ascertained  that  he  left  any  children. 
There  was  an  Isaac  Cakebread,  of  Springfield,  in  1678;  and  one  of  that  name  in 
Hartford,  in  1680.   [Hinman,  p.  468.]

CHESTER. — (I.)  Leonard  Chester,  from  Brady  (orBlaby)  Leicestershire,  of  a  very 
respectable  lineage,  came  to  New  England  in  1633,  then  aged  about  23  or  24  years, 
and  settled  in  Watertown.  Two  years  afterwards,  he  left  Watertown  with  the  colony 
that  first  planted  Pyquag,  which  they  named  Watertown;  soon  after,  by  the  Court, 
named  Wethersfield.  He  left  Watertown  previous  to  the  making  out  of  the  earliest 
list  of  possessions,  and  his  name,  therefore,  is  not  found  in  any  list  of  proprietors  ;  but 
it  is  recorded  that  one  of  the  lots  of  Mr.  William  Paine  was  bought  of  Mr.  Chester. 
Several  circumstances,  in  confirmation  of  tradition,  evince  his  respectable  social 
position,  and  that  he  was  comparatively  wealthy.  His  name  occurs  only  once  in 
Massachusetts  Colonial  Records  (in  Ap.  1634),  and  then,  although  so  young  a  man, 
he  was  designated  as  "  Mr.  Chester."  Although  he  remained  in  Watertown  only

for  possession  of  five-sixths  of  corn-mill  in  Watertown,  left  to  his  (S.  A.;s)  daughter,

Ruth,  and  a  kinswoman  of  his  wife,  named  Hannah  Cutler,  &c.  This  was  very  pro- 
bably a  malicious  prosecution,  for  in  Dec.  1688,  John  Perry  was  bound  over  in  £10,  for 
"giving  forth  words  tending  to  move  discord,  strife,  and  dissension  among  his  neigh- 
bors, and  for  breakingthecommon  pound  of  the  town  in  August  last."  He  (C.  C.)  was

159.  CLARKE. — [1.]  It  appears  by  Dr.  John  Clarke's  own  statement,  in  his,  "  111 
News  from  New  England,"  that  he  arrived  in  Boston  in  Nov.  1637,  and  Mr.  Savage 
supposes  that  the  "  Mr.  Clarke"  who  was  by  the  Court  chosen  constable  of  Watertown, 
in  May,  1632,  was  the  "  Mr.  William  Clarke"  who  wasadm.  freeman  May  18,  1631. 
This  is  very  probable,  and  if  so,  he  soon  after  left  Watertown,  as  his  name  is  not  on 
the  earliest  list  of  proprietors,  nor  in  the  town  records.  [  Winthrop,  I.  p.  74.]  As  there 
is  no  evidence  that  he  remained  long  in  Watertown,  it  is  very  probable  that  he  was 
the  William  Clarke  who  accompanied  John  Winthrop,  Jr.,  in  Mar.  1633,  when  he, 
with  others,  went  to  begin  the  plantation  of  Ipswich.  What  became  of  him  is  not 
shown  in  Felt's  History  of  Ipswich.  It  is  probable  that  he  was  the  William  Clarke 
"dwelling  between  Lynn  and  Ipswich,"  licensed  by  the  General  Court,  June  2,  1641, 
"to  entertain  passengers  and  cattle."  The  evidence  is  not  conclusive, yet  there  is  good 
reason  to  believe,  that  Dr.  John  Clarke,  the  physician,  preacher,  and  civilian  of  Rhode 
Island,  first  settled  in  Watertown.  and  that  it  is  his  name,  which  is  found  on  the  list  of 
proprietors  in  1642;  for  it  is  not  unusual  for  a  name  to  remain  on  that  list,  after  the 
proprietor  had  moved  from  the  town.     In  the  first  place,  Dr.  John  Clarke,  of  Rhode

Island,  made  bequests  to  his  nieces,  the  daughters  of  John  Fiske,  Sen.,  of  Watertown. 
[See  J.  Fiske,  l.j  In  the  next  place,  there  seems  to  have  been  a  particular  intimacy 
and  congeniality  of  sentiments  between  him  and  Nathaniel  Briscoe,  Sen.,  of  Water- 
town.  They  were  appointed  joint  executors  of  the  Will  of  John  Hazell,  dated  Nov. 
19,  1651.  about  the  time  he  (Dr.  C.)  was  released  from  prison  in  Boston,  and  a  short 
time  before  he  and  Mr.  Briscoe  sailed  for  England.  They  were,  however,  to  depart 
so  soon,  that  they  gave  a  letter  of  attorney  to  Thomas  Broughton,  lately  removed  from 
Wat.  to  Boston,  son-in-law  of  Mr.  Briscoe,  for  the  settlement  of  Hazell's  estate.  The 
Will  was  witnessed  by  John  Warren  and  Thomas  Arnold,  of  Wat.,  who  were  also  Bap- 
tists. About  this  date  (i.  e.,  in  Oct.  1651),  both  these  witnesses  were  fined  by  the 
Court,  "  for  an  offence  against  the  laws  concerning  baptism."  [See  Warren,  I.,  and  see 
Arnold.]  Nathaniel  Briscoe,  Jr.,  was  one  of  the  witnesses  to  the  said  letter  of  attorney.

746  COOLIDGE. 

"It  appears  in  the  Rolls  of  the  Hundreds,  time  of  Edward  the  First,  that  William  de 
Coulinge  held  lands  in  Cambridgeshire,  from  which  one  can  reasonably  infer  that  the 
family  were  seated  in  that  County  at  that  time." 

"  The  practice  of  adopting  hereditary  surnames  from  manors  and  localities  originated  in 
Normandy  about  the  close  of  the  tenth  century,  or  the  beginning  of  the  eleventh. 
Possessors  of  land  took  them  from  their  own  estates,  a  practice  in  which  the  Normans 
were  soon  imitated  by  the  English,  particularly  after  the  Conquest.  Many  families  of 
Saxon  origin  copied  the  example  of  their  conquerors,  and  prefixed  de  to  their  names. 
In  a  few  instances  the  article  de  or  d'  is  still  retained  ;  but,  generally  speakinir,  it  was 
dropped  from  surnames  about  the  time  of  Henry  the  Sixth.  Thus,  instead  of  William 
de  Couling;,  &c,  the  landed  gentry  wrote  themselves  William  Couling;  of  Couling,  &c. 

"  The  custom  of  taking  names  from  towns  and  villages  in  England  is  a  sufficient  proof  of 
the  ancient  descents  of  those  families  who  bear  them. 

"  That  the  name  (Coulinge)  is  derived  from  the  village  of  Couling  or  Cowling  in  Suffolk, 
there  is  not  the  least  doubt,  and  it  continued  so  to  be  spelt,  with  occasional  variations, 
until  after  the  family  was  seated  at  Arrington.  Probably  Collins  is  derived  from  the 
same  source.  The  family  of  Coolidge  of  Cambridgeshire  is  the  only  one  in  England, 
that  adopted  their  peculiar  way  of  spelling  the  name;  the  corruption  being  in  conse- 
quence of  there  being  no  fixed  mode  of  spelling  in  those  days,  and  persons  wrote 
names  as  they  sounded  to  the  ear.  In  Burke's  Dictionary  of  Arms  are  several  varieties 
in  the  spelling  of  the  name,  evidently  of  one  common  origin,  from  the  similarity  of 
the  arms  ;  the  griffin  being  almost  always  introduced  in  some  form  or  another,  either 
in  the  arms  or  crest.  The  fieur  de  lis  seems  anciently  to  have  been  connected  with 
the  family  arms." 

"  In  the  year  1327  [1st  Edward  3d]  Walter  Couling,  and  Ralph  Couling,  of  Wimpole 
[adjoining  parish  of  Arrington]  Co.  Cambridge,  were  assessed  to  the  King's  Subsidies. 
[Subsidy  Rolls,  Public  Record  Office,  Carlton  Ride,  London.] 

"  The  name  has  undergone  various  orthographic  changes  from  the  time  of  its  adoption 
from  the  village  of  Cowlinge,  in  Suffolk,  on  the  borders  of  Cambridgeshire;  the  first 
of  the  name  probably  being  styled  de  Cowling  or  de  Cooling,  as  lord  of  the  manor 
there,  which  family  soon  after  removed  to  Cambridgeshire,  and  spelt  the  name,  at 
different  periods,  Couling,  Cullinge,  Colynge,  Cullidge,  Coledge,  Cowlidge,  Cooledge, 
and  Coolidge."     (HP  See  Pedigrees,  pp.  744  and  745.)

[3.]  Stephen  Coolidge  was  fined  £5  by  the  town  for  refusing  to  serve  as  constable.  If 
he  hire  a  man  to  serve,  fine  to  be  remitted.  Nov.  12,  1692,  Court  "  ordered  ye  Water- 
town  selectmen  be  forthwith  sent  unto  to  make  known  to  the  Court  why  Stephen 
Coolidge  may  not  be  released  from  serving  as  constable."  Admin,  of  his  estate  was 
granted  to  his  brother,  Jonathan,  Mar.  5,  1710-11.  His  estate  was  divided  June  18, 
1711,  to  his  brothers  John  (heirs),  Simon  (heirs),  Nathaniel,  Jonathan,  and  sister 
Mary  (heirs).     House,  &c,  given  him  by  his  father,  appraised  at  £100.

87,  88,  89,  90.  In  the  settlement  of  his  estate,  or  at  his  decease,  he  is  said  to  have 
been  aged  about  50.  This  is  undoubtedly  an  error.  It  probably  should  be  60  years. 
He  is  the  first  named  among  his  father's  sons  in  his  Will,  and  it  is  to  be  observed  that 
he  was  married  in  1655.

DANIELS. — Robert  Daniels  d.  July  6,  1655  [Camb.  Records.]  He  was  released 
from  training  Ap.  1655.  probably  on  account  of  his  age.  He  was  upwards  of  60 
years  old.  After  1651  he  moved  to  Cambridge.  Reana  Daniels,  of  Camb.s  was  pro- 
bably his  widow,  who  afterwards  m. Frost.     Jan.  7,  1656-7,  Reana  Daniels,  of 

Camb.,  sold  to  John  Whitney  40  acres  of  great  dividend  land,  13th  lot,  4th  division, 
bounded  N.  by  Camb.  Line,  E.  and  W.  by  Richard  Waite;  S.  by  highway;  deed 
acknowledged  by  Reana  Frost.  Ap.  12,  1669,  Robert  Daniels,  who  sold  land  in  Wat. 
in  1661  and  1662,  and  whose  Will  was  dated  injSud.,  1661-2,  was  probably  a  son  of 
that  Robert,  who  moved  from  Wat.  to  Camb.,  and  d.  there.  It  is  also  probable  that 
Samuel  Daniels,  of  Wat.,  was  his  son.  Ap.  2,  1667,  Samuel  Daniels,  planter,  of  Wat., 
sold  to  Nathaniel  Coolidge  127  acres  in  the  waste  lands,  No.  3,  lot.  90.  [For  Ap.  26, 
165-  read  1656.] 

DAVIS. — In  1677,  Benjamin  Davis  was  put  out  or  bound  to.  Joseph  Underwood.  Mar. 
29,  1692,  wid.  Underwood  was  warned  for  having  taken  into  her  family  Benjamin 
[?  Benanuel]  Davis,  and  his  family,  and  the  Court  disallowed  him  to  be  an  inhabitant 
of  Watertown.  Jan.  1740,  Mary  Davis  went  from  Wat.  to  Camb.,  and  was  "  cau- 
tioned" against  settlement. 

DEAN. — Feb.  11,  1700-1,  the  town  refused  to  pay  the  demands  of  Joseph  Dean  for 
serving  as  constable.  He  probably  resided  in  the  Farms  (Weston).  James  Dean 
moved  from  Camb.  to  Wat.  in  Jan.  1741. 

DENGAYNE. — (Dingham).  Henry  Dengayne,  a  "townsman  then  inhabiting" 
(1636),  to  whom  a  lot  of  Beaver  Brook  Plowland  was  granted,  was  probably  the 
"  Doctor  Dingham"  mentioned  as  a  grantee  of  land  in  Wat.,  in  a  deed,  Dr.  Philip 
Shattuck  to  Jona.  Smith.  [Mid  Deeds,  Vol.  X.,  p.  52.]  He  was  an  early  proprietor 
of  Dedham,  and  was  probably  the  <:  Mr.  Henry  Dingham'-'  who  m.,  in  Rox.,  Ap.  1641, 
Elizabeth  Alcock,  wid.  of  the  Dr.  and  Dea.  George  Alcock,  who  d.  Dec.  30,  1640.  He 
d.  in  Rox.,  of  apoplexy,  Dec.  8,  1645.  Nov.  4,  1646,  the  petition  of  Mrs.  Dingham 
and  John  Alcock,  for  division  of  the  houses  and  land  (two-thirds  to  John,  eldest  son, 
and  one-third  to  Samuel,  b.  Ap.  16,  1637),  was  granted  by  the  General  Court.  [Colon. 
Rec.  II.,  p.  165.]  This  was  a  few  months  after  John  had  grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  and  about 
13  years  before  Samuel  graduated.  See  Will  of  George  Alcock  [Geneal.  Reg  II., 
p.  104]  wherein  is  mentioned  only  two  children,  John  and  Samuel,  and  wife,  not 
named.     Also,  see  p.  627,  note. 


198.     DENNIS. — Sept.  1743,  William  Dennis  moved  from  Boston  to  Watertown.    In 
Ap.  or  May,  1748,  he  muved  from  Rox.  to  Watertown. 


DENKLER. — DILL. — DIX. — DOLBEAR. — DOW.  753 

DENKLER. — This  name  is  sometimes  written  Dunkler.  Dunklin,  and  Dunklee. 

DILL. — George  Dill  came  to  Wat.  1671,  warned  out  Sept.  5,  1671,  and  d.  there,  a 
pauper,  in  1715-16.     [See  Colonial  Records  for  May  10,  1648,  II.,  p.  242.] 

.  198.  DIX. —  [1.]  It  was  for  a  time  supposed  that  Edward  Dix  and  Jane  Wilkinson, 
who  embarked  at  Gravesend  in  Jan.  1635,  were  married  after  their  arrival,  and  be- 
came the  ancestors  of  all  the  Dix  families  in  Watertown  and  that  vicinity.  This  sup- 
position is  not  yet,  I  think,  entirely  disproved,  although  later  investigations  have  ren- 
dered it  questionable.  It  is  now  supposed  that  Edward  Dix,  of  Watertown,  was  the 
"  Edward  Deekes"  who  subscribed  at  the  church  gathering  in  Charlestown,  Aug.  27, 
1630  (and  must  therefore  have  come  over  in  the  deet  with  Gov.  Winthrop,  or  very 
soon  after)  and  the  "Edward  Dixe"  who  was  adm.  freeman  Mar.  4,  1634-5.  Per- 
haps he  returned  to  England  for  a  wife.  In  subscribing  at  Charlestown,  his  name 
immediately  succeeds  that  of  Henry  Bright,  who  also  went  to  Watertown  ;  and,  in  the 
list  of  freemen,  his  name  is  in  the  midst  of  other  Watertown  names.  He  was  a 
selectman  1650,  and  he  had  been  a  constable  previous  to  Ap.  1651,  when  he,  and 
others  with  him.  were  fined  by  the  Court,  each  10s.  for  not  providing  half-bushels  for 
standards,  when  constables.  Ap.  2,  1661,  wid.  Susanna  Dix  brought  suit  against 
Serjt.  John  Wincol  and  John  Dix,  Exrs.  of  Edward  Dix,  for  her  dowry.  Verdict  for 
the  plaintiff,  viz.,  one-third  rents  and  the  costs,  13s. 

[6.]  5.  Deborah,  &c.  She  was  not  a  daughter  of  Edward  Dix.  Dr.  T.  W.  Harris  says, 
she  was  doubtless  a  widow,  for  she  had  sons  Leonard  Dix,  John  Dix,  and  William 
Dix,  who  were  settled  at  Hartford,  Conn.  Who  her  first  husband  was  is  unknown  to 
me  ;  Richard  Barnes  was  her  2d  husband.

FINCH. — Daniel  Finch,  supposed  to  have  come  over  in  the  same  ship  with  Sir 
Richard  Saltonstall  [  Winthrop.  II.  p.  340] ,  and  to  have  accompanied  him  to  Watertown, 
was  adm.  freeman  May  18,  1631.  He  was  a  member  of  a  jury  of  inquest,  appointed 
May  3,  1631,  half  of  whom  were  Watertown  men,  and  he  was  appointed,  Oct.  1631, 
one  of  the  commissioners  for  settling  the  estate  of  Mr.  Crispe,  of  Watertown.  He 
was  one  of  the  colony  which  first  planted  Pyquag  (Wethersfield),  and  was  appointed 
the  first  constable  of  that  plantation,  at  the  first  Court  held  in  the  colony,  Ap.  26,  1636. 
He  was  one  of  the  original  purchasers  of  Stamford,  Conn.,  Oct.  30,  1640. 

John  Finch  was  a  proprietor  of  Stamford  in  1641.     [See  Hinman,  p.  232.] 

p.  208.  FISKE. 

Mr.  Somerby,  having  recently  visited  and  examined  the  Parish  Registers  in  the  County 
of  Suffolk,  where  the  Fiskes  are  known  to  have  resided  at  an  early  date,  says,  "  I 
found  sufficient  to  justify  the  belief,  that  Nathan  Fiske  [of  Watertown]  was  the  eighth 
in  descent  from  the  first  Simon  Fiske,  of  Lax  field,  through  Robert,  of  St.  James.  South 
Elmsham,  who  was  his  (Nathan's)  great  grandfather.  [The  other  Fiskes  of  New 
England  are,  it  is  believed,  all  of  the  same  lineage]  This  Simon  Fiske  was  lord  of 
the  manor  of  Stradhaugh,  in  Laxfield,  in  the  time  of  Henry  VI.,  and  he  bore  the  fol- 
lowing arms,  viz.,  "Checkey  Arg.  and  Gule;  upon  a  pale  sable  three  mullets  or. 
pierced.-'  These  arms  were  confirmed  Nov.  16,  1633,  to  Nicholas  Fiske,  professor  of 
physick,  of  Stradhaugh,  in  the  Parish  of  Laxfield,  and  at  the  same  time  a  crest  was 
granted  him,  <;for  an  ornament."  The  arms  had  been  borne  by  his  ancestors  in  the 
reigns  of  Henry  VI.,  Edward  IV.,  Richard  III.,  and  Henry  VII. 

Mr.  Somerby  says,  "the  family  [of  Fiskes  in  Suffolk]  is  very  ancient,  and  has  always 
been  highly  respectable."  He  found  nearly  fifty  Wills  of  this  family,  proved  in  Suf- 
folk, between  1462  and  1635.  These  searches  of  Parish  and  Probate  Records,  and 
the  copying  of  them,  cannot  be  prosecuted  in  England  without  considerable  expense  ; 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that,  among  the  almost  innumerable  Fiskes  in  New  England, 
many  of  them  wealthy  and  liberally  educated,  a  sufficient  purse  will  be  made  up,  in 
order  to  make  a  thorough  investigation. 


Joshua  and  Anthony  Fisher,  brothers  (?),  of   Dedham,    were  sons  of Fisher,  of 

Sileham,  who  m.  Mary  Fiske,  supposed  to  be  a  daughter  of  William  and  Anne  Fiske, 
of  South  Elmham,  and  to  be  an  aunt  of  Rev.  John  Fiske,  of  Chelmsford,  Mass. 

Martha  Fiske,  a  sister  of  the  Rev.  John  Fiske,  of  Chelmsford,  and  of  Wm.  of  Wen- 
ham,  m.  Capt.  Edmund  Thompson,  son  of  John  and  Anne  (Hastings)  Thompson,  of 
Holkham  Co.,  Norfolk.  E.  Thompson  was  a  sea-captain,  had  4  chil.,  b.  in  Salem, 
viz.,  Martha,  Edmund,  Thomas,  and  Hannah  ;  afterwards  returned  to  England,  and 
resided  in  Yarmouth,  where  he  had  3  other  chil.,  all  d.  in  infancy.

FLAGG. — This  orthography  of  the  name  has  been  adopted  in  the  text,  because  it 
has  become  the  prevalent,  almost  the  universal  usage,  for  the  last  few  generations. 
There  is,  however,  very  little  doubt  but  that  it  is  erroneous,  and  that  the  correct 
orthography  is  Flegg.  In  the  first  place,  the  name  Flagg  is  not  found  in  Burke's  En- 
cyclopaedia of  Heraldry,  which  is  a  pretty  good  dictionary  of  well-known  early 
English  names;  but  Flegg  is  found  there,  with  a  coat  of  arms,  with  some  variations, 
as  Fleggh  and  Fle^h.  In  the  second  place,  in  the  early  records  of  the  town,  and  of 
the  county,  for  eighty  years  or  more,  the  name  is,  almost  without  exception,  written 
Flegg,  with  some  variations,  always  retaining  the  e, 

as    Fleg,  Flege,  Flegge,  fflegg,   &c.     Finally,  we  rl 

have  the  autograph  of  Thomas  Flegg,  Jr.,  a  fac-  fl       ///?  v*?-" 

simile  of  which  is  here  inserted,  which  is  written      __^-/^>  ■it-'U^M       7/^^r — '

and  87.  He  was  released  from  training  Ap.  165-  by  paying  the  Co.  5s.  per  annum. 
He  was  fully  released  therefrom  by  the  Court,  Ap.  5,  1681,  when  his  eldest  son  was 
40  years  old.  His  Will,  proved  Feb.  16,  1697-8,  mentions  only  a  part  of  his  children, 
viz.,  sons  Thomas,  Michael,  Allen,  and  Benjamin,  and  dr.  Rebecca  Cooke  [son  Ger- 
shom  was  already  deceased.]  William  Flag?,  killed  by  Indians  at  Lancaster,  Aug.

portion. 

Thomas  Flemming,  probably  went  to  England  late  in  the  year  1658.  Oct.,  1658, 
Thomas  Flemming  ordered  by  the  court  to  pay  the  -costs  of  his  servant,  Thomas 
Browning,  he  (Browning)  to  make  recompense  at  the  end  of  his  term.  [See  Brown-

FOX.— Thomas  Fox,  rn.,  Ap.  24,  1683,  Elizabeth,  wid.  of  Charles  Chadwick  (who 
d.  Ap.  10,  1682).  She  d.  Feb.  22,  1684-5,  aged  70.  Thomas  Fox  was  Rep.  of  Wat., 
1688,  and  "  Father  Fox,"  was  chosen  tythingman,  9  months  after  the  above  mar- 
riage. Mr.  Shattuck,  p.  371,  says,  Thomas  Fox,  Sen.,  d.  Ap.  14,  1658.  It  seems  to 
me  more  probable,  that  it  was  the  son  Thomas,  who  d.  at  that  time  ;  and  that  Thomas 
Fox,  Sen.,  was  the  ''Father  Fox,"  who  m.  the  widow  Chadwick.  From  the  age  of 
the  bride  (aged  69),  we  infer  that  he  was  an  old  man.  It  is  conjectured,  that  his  2d 
wife,  Hannah,  was  a  daughter  of  Capt.  Thomas  Brooks,  that  she,  and  her  son  Thomas, 
and  probably  her  daughter,  died  before  her  father,  and  is  not  therefore,  mentioned  in 
the  settlement  of  his  estate.  We  insert  the  little  we  have  gleaned,  with  respect  to 
the  family  of  Thomas  Fox,  of  Concord,  accompanied  with  our  conjectures,  to  be  con- 
firmed or  confuted  by  others.

766  FREEMAN. — FULHAM. — FULLER. 

FREEMAN. — The  name  of  Samuel  Freeman's  wife  in  the  records  is  Appia 
(Apphia).  May  31,  1648.  Henry  Freeman,  of  Wat.,  mortgaged  his  house  with  2  A. 
of  land  in  Wat.,  situated  between  Joseph  Tainter  and  Richard  Gale,  to  John  New- 
gate, of  Boston,  and  William  Barber,  of  (?)Ludgate,  in  consideration  of  their  releasing 
him  from  a  bond  in  favor  of  John  Freeman,  of  Westminster.  [SufF.  Deeds  I.,  p. 
91.]  This  renders  it  probable  that  he  was  from  Westminster,  or  that  vicinity.  There 
is  no  record  of  any  children  of  Henry  Freeman,  of  Watertown,  but  probably  James, 
of  Boston,  and  Samuel,  of  Sudbury,  were  his  sons.  May  3,  1704,  Mary  Sherman,  of 
Wat.,  and  James  Sherman,  of  Sud.  [Ex'rs  of  Rev.  John  Sherman],  for  £40,  sold  to 
Samuel  Freeman,  of  Sud.,  weaver,  and  James  Freeman,  of  Boston,  brewer,  4  acres 
in   Wat.,  near   the    Farms   [Weston]     meeting-house,    bounded    N.W.  by  Thomas 

Woolson  :  S.E.  by  land  of  Loveran,  d.  ;  S.W.  and  N.E.  by  squadron  line;  only 

excepting  what  is  sold  to  the  Farms  for  a  burying-place.  James  Freeman,  adminis- 
trator of  John  Freeman,  of  Newton,  Ap.,  1705.  Jan.,  1713-14,  Apphia  Freeman, 
from  Cambridge,  was  warned  out  of  town.  She  became  pauper,  and  was  buried  in 
May,  1723,  when  the  selectmen  ordered  5  quarts  of  rum  to  be  bought  for  her  funeral ! 
Her  parentage  not  ascertained. 

p.  227.  FUTjHAM. — Francis  Fulham,  Esq.,  was  for  a  long  time  the  most  influential 
man  in  Weston.  The  Registry  of  Deeds  shows  that  he  purchased  numerous  lots  or 
parcels  of  land,  generally  situated  in  the  S.W.  part  of  the  town.  Jan.  4,  1697-8, 
James  Barnard,  of  Sud.,  sold  to  Francis  Fulham,  of  Wat.  [Farms],  60  A.  in  Wat., 
near  Sudbury,  a  quarter  of  the  farm  called  Barnard's  Farm,  "  near  the  Land  of  Con- 
tention, so  called."  Feb.  10,  1707-8,  same  sold  to  same,  24  A.  in  S.W.  corner  of 
Watertown  [Farms],  part  of  a  grant  of  236  A.  called  Land  of  Contention.  [See 
Eddy  [6.],  Part  II.]  He  was  selectman  1710,  '11,  before  the  separation,  Weston 
from  Wat.,  and  afterwards,  he  held  numerous  responsible  offices.  [See  Bond,  35.] 
The  date  of  his  decease  has  not  been  ascertained ;  but  he  lived  to  advanced  age,  for 
11  Col.  Francis  Fulham,"  was  Moderator  of  a  town-meeting,  Mar.  25,  1751.  Mar.  30, 
1752,  he  resigned  his  agency  for  collecting  rents  for  the  proprietors  of  Natick,  and 
for  paying  to  each  his  due  share.  The  records  of  Natick  were  in  his  keeping  as 
early  as  1719. 

[3.]  Francis,  m.,  Dec.  4,  1740,  Susanna  Hammond,  dr.  of  Eleazer  and  Hannah  (Har- 
rington) Hammond,  of  Newton.   [T.  Hammond  70,  Part  II.] 

[4.]  Jacob  Fulham  d.  in  Leominster,  Oct.  20,  1833,  aged  83,  probably  a  son  of  Jacob 
and  Hannah  (Ware),  of  Weston. 

[12.]  For  Mar.  30,  read  May  30.  Sarah  Fulham,  was  the  2d  wife  of  Dea.  Wm.  Trow- 
bridge. 5  chil.  [See  Trowbridge,  18,  Part  II.] 

FULLER. — William  Fuller,  aged  25,  and  John  Fuller,  aged  15,  embarked  in  the  Abi- 
gail, in  May.  1635,  for  New  England.  This  age  of  John  does  not  correspond  with  the 
age  of  the  first  John  Fuller,  of  Newton,  who  d.  Feb.  7,  1698-9,  aged  87.  Perhaps 
there  is  an  error  in  one  of  these  dates.  Elizabeth,  wid.  of  John  Fuller,  of  Newton, 
d.  Ap.  13,  1700. 

The  family  and  descendants  of  John  Fuller,  of  Newton,  are  so  very  intimately  asso- 
ciated with  Watertown  families,  and  what  was  printed  on  pp.  227-8,  contains  some 
errors,  and  so  many  deficiencies,  that  a  brief,  condensed  genealogy  is  here  inserted. 
That  large  tract  of  land  called  the  Fuller  Farm,  and  upon  which  most  of  the  families 
of  this  name  have  resided,  was  situated  in  the  bend  of  Charles  River,  opposite  to 
Waltham  Plain.  It  included  nearly  all  the  land  lately  taken  from  Newton,  and  an- 
nexed to  Waltham.  It  was,  however,  more  extensive,  extending  farther  down,  and 
farther  back  from  the  river.  For  a  view  of  the  topography  of  this  farm,  and  a  more 
copious  account  of  this  family,  see  Jackson's  excellent  History  and  Map  of  Newton, 
to  which  we  are  much  indebted.

Henry  Goldstone,  aged  43,  wife  Anna,  aged  45,  dr.  Anna,  aged  18  years,  and  dr.  Mary, 
aged  15  years,  embarked  at  Ipswich,  Eng.,  in  Ap.  1634,  and  settled  in  Watertown, 
where  he  d.  July  25,  1638,  aged  46.  In  Nov.  1634,  the  Court  "dismissed  him  train- 
ing," by  reason  of  age  and  infirmity,  only  he  was  to  have  in  readiness  at  all  times 
sufficient  arms  for  himself,  besides  his  servants.  His  wid.  m.  John  George  (of  Water- 
town  after  this  marriage),  who  d.  about  the  1st  of  June,  1647.  His  Inventory,  by 
Lieut.  Mason,  John  Coolidge,  and  John  Sherman,  was  dated  June  12,  1647.  This  In- 
ventory was  presented  for  probate  by  his  wid.  Anna,  June  29,  1647,  and  on  the  same 
day  she  presented  for  probate  "  an  inventory  of  all  such  goods  [personal  estate]  as 
were  widow  Gouldstone's,  and  in  her  possession,  before  she  entered  into  a  married 
estate,"  £188  05.  lid.  She  is  called,  "late  wife  of  Henry  Goldstone."  She  was  ap- 
pointed guardian  of  Robert  and  Susan  George,  two  children  of  her  last  husband  by  a 
former  wife.*  This  Susan  George  m.  Robert  Harrington  [1].  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  VII., 
p.  172,  and  Sufi'.  Prob.  II.,  p.  33.]  The  items  of  the  above-mentioned  Inventory  show, 
that  Mr.  Goldstone's  house  and  farm  were  well  furnished  and  stocked  for  that  early 
day,  and  the  schedule  of  his  real  estate  (11  lots,  one  of  which  was  a  homestall  of 
28  A.),  amounted  to  355  acres.  "  Wid.  Hannah  [Anna]  George,"  d.  in  Wat.,  Ap.  26,

she  embarked),  m.  in  Rox.,  Oct.  8,  1634,  Lieut.  Joshua  Hewes.  He,  then  unm.,  came 
over  about  Sept.  1633,  a  fellow-passenger,  it  is  believed,  with  Rev.  John  Cotton,  Ed- 
mund Quincy,  Col.  John  Leverett,  Gov.  John  Haines,  and  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker.  He 
was  adm.  freeman  Mar.  4,  1633-4,  and  on  the  same  day  subscribed  205.  towards 
building  the  sea  fort  [Fort  Independence].  He  was  Rep.  at  the  Gen.  Court,  June 
1641,  and  in  Sept.  1642,  the  Court  appointed  him  to  have  charge,  in  Rox.,  of  the  order 
respecting  the  making  of  saltpetre.  He  was  a  merchant  of  large  transactions;  was 
one  of  a  free  company  of  adventurers  for  trade  and  discoveries,  incorporated  by  the 
Court  in  Mar.  1644,  and  in  May,  1645,  "Mr.  Joshua  Hewes"  was  one  of  the  four 
undertakers  for  the  iron-works.      [See  Col.  Records,  vol.  II.,  Index,  and  Winthrop,  II.,

that  John  George  who  d.  in  Wat.  in  1647,  has  not  been  ascertained,  but  it  is  not  improbable.  Having  attained 
his  majority  before  the  decease  of  his  supposed  fath   r.  he  is  not  mentioned  among  the  wards  of  wid.  Anna. 

War.  2.  1641.  John  George  was  put  (by  the  Court)  lo  Mr.  John  Winthrop,  Sen.,  for  8  years,  with  his  own  con- 
sent.    He  was  probably  an  orphan.

213.]  He  was  one  of  the  Rox.  Grantees  of  land,  between  the  lines  of  Ded.,  Wat., 
and  Sudbury;  was  one  of  the  messengers  appointed  by  the  Court,  in  1648,  to 
Shawomet  (YVarwick),  in  order  to  settle  the  disturbance  there  between  the  English 
and  Indians;  was  engaged  in  the  Narragansett  purchase  and  settlement,  and  in  1662 
moved  thither,  to  Wickford  (N.  Kingston),  but  afterwards  returned  to  Boston.  His 
first  marriage  is  the  third  recorded  in  Roxbury.  His  wife  Mary  (Goldstone)  d.,  and 
he  m.  (2d)  Feb.  11,  1657,  Alice,  wid.  of  John  Crabtree,  of  Boston.  He  d.  in  Boston, 
Jan.  25,  1676,  aged  66.  The  births  of  only  three  of  his  chil.  are  recorded  in  Roxbury, 
but  it  is  probable  that  he  had  others.     Chil.,

3.  Joshua,  b.  May  25,  1644.  Joshua  Hewes,  probably  this  son,  was  appointed  inn- 
holder,  June  26,  1693,  and  d.  in  Boston  in  1706. 


GOLDTHWAITE.— Inventory  of  wid.  Martha  Goldthwaite,  of  Waltham,  dated 
Dec.  3,  lodged  Dec.  4.  1783,  £38  6s.  10a1. 

GOODRIDGE.— (Goodrich.)  See  Gutterig,  in  Part  II. 

GOSS.— For  May  10,  163-  read  1631.  John  Goss,  was  a  juror  May  2.  1631.  June 
4,  1639,  he  was  fined  £20,  for  common  railing  [violating  the  gag-laws],  and  com- 
mitted to  prison.     The  fine  was  remitted  not  long  afterwards. 

GOVE.— The  Will  of  John  Gove,  of  Charlestown.  dated  Jan.  22.  1647-8,  mentions  wife 
(not  named),  whom  he  made  ex'x;  daughter  Mary  Gove,  whom  "  I  do  give  and  be- 
queath, with  my  wife's  full  consent,  to  Ralph  Mousal,  and  his  wife,  as  their  own  child 
forever;  and  my  two  sons  John  and  Edward."  Inventory  dated  Jan.  25,  1647-8 
(three  days  after  the  date  of  his  Will),  £9  12s.  Gd.  The  Will  renders  it  very  im- 
probable, that  this  Inventory  embraced  the  whole  of  his  estate.  It  is  probable  that  he 
was  a  dealer  or  worker  in  brass.  The  disposal  of  his  daughter,  Mary,  renders  it 
probable  that  she  was  not  the  daughter  of  his  wife,  whom  he  appointed  ex'x.  He 
bought  his  house  of  <:goodm.  Larkin."   [See  Geneal.  Reg.  vii.,  p.  170.]

selectmen  from  that  part  of  the  fine  belonging  to  the  poor,  he  being  a  poor  man.  At 
the  same  time  (May,  1694)  he  was  "  approved  as  a  retailer,  he  living  in  the  woods, 
upon  a  road  remote  from  any  other  ordinary  several  miles." 

GREEN — Winthrop  [II.,  p.  152].  says:  "  Divers  families  going  from  Watertown  [in 
1642-3],  to  plant  Martha's  Vineyard,  procured  a  young  man,  one  Mr.  Green,  a  scholar, 
to  be  their  minister,  in  hopes  soon  to  gather  a  church  there.  He  went  not.''"  It  was 
Rev.  Henry  Green  [not  Thomas],  an  early  proprietor  of  Wat.,  afterwards  the  first 
minister  of  Reading,  who  m.  Frances,  the  ehlest  child  of  Dea.  Simon  Stone*  [Thomas 
Green,  of  Maiden,  m.,  Sept.  5,  1659,  Frances,  wid.  of  Richard  Cook.] 

Samuel  Green  was  witness  to  a  deed  in  Wat.,  Dec.  26,  1677.  John  Green  was  witness 
to  a  deed  by  wid.  Jane  Guy,  in  Sud.,  in  1666,  and  to  a  deed  in  Wat.,  Ap.  1671.  He 
was  an  inhabitant  of  Wat.  1702  to  1714,  where  his  wife,  Bethia,  d.  Oct.  12,  1714,  aged

GRIMES. — James  Grimes  had  3.  Mary,  b.  in  Newton,  Ap.  25,  1747,     4.  Kezia,  b. 

in  N.,  Sept.  28,  1749. 

*  Feb.  3, 166S,  Simon  Slone,  Jr.  (brother  of  Frances),  and  wife  Mary,  sold  lo  Simon  Coolidge  a  farm  of  about  55 
acres,  lately  belonging  to  the  relict  and  heirs  of  Henry  Green,  late  of  Watertown.  clerk,  to  whom  it  was  granted. 
This  farm  was  in  the  western  part  of  Watertown  Farms  (Weston),  and  very  near  or  adjoining  to  the  "  Cowpen 
Farm."  The  Will  of  Dea.  Simon  Stone  [Genenl.  Reg.  III.  182]  gives  to  his  dr.  Frances,  £10.  ''And  my  mind  is, 
that  my  daughter  Frances'  £10  should  be  paid  £5  to  Johnana  Green,  her  daughter,  and  Nathaniel  Green,  her  son, 

50s.  apiece:  and  the  other  £5  to  the  children  she  have  by  her  husband ."    By  this,  it  appears  that  Mr.  Green  left 

only  two  children  that  lived  to  maturity,  and  that  his  wid.  Frances  m.  a  second  husband,  and  had  other  children. 
It  has  not  been  ascertained  what  became  of  his  dr.  Joanna,  or  whether  his  son  Nathaniel  had  wife  or  family.  The 
son  resided  in  Watertown  as  early  as  1694,  when  he  subscribed  towards  repairing  the  meeting-house.  After  this 
he  appears  to  have  become  indigent  or  helpless.  Mar.  16.  1708-9,  wid.  Mary  Stone  [6],  presented  a  complaint  to 
the  selectmen  that  Nathaniel  Green,  an  inhabitant  of  Wat.,  is  destitute  of  a  place  of  abode.  Same  date,  the 
selectmen  agreed  to  meet  Ap.  1st  next,  to  inquire,  what  estate  of  Green  may  be  found  in  the  possession  of  Mrs.  Mary 
Stone.  The  next  June,  the  selectmen  desired  Jabez  Beers  to  take  Nathaniel  Green  as  far  as  he  hath  occasion, 
and  the  rest  of  the  time  to  spend  with  Samuel  Spur,  at  the  shoemaker's  trade.  Jan.  30,  1709-10,  the  selectmen 
ordered  the  Treasurer  to  receive  of  the  heirs  of  Simon  Stone,  deceased  [6],  payment  on  Green's  estate;  and  on  the  30th 
Jan.  1710-11,  Simon  Tainter  agreed  to  keep  Nathaniel  Green  4  years  from  the  5th  instant.

GROVER. — Thomas  Grover,  housewright,  settled  in  Wat.,  previous  to  Dec.  1732,  and 
he  d.  there  Sept.  15,  1739. 

GUTTERIG.*— (Gulteridge,  Gudderidge,  Gouteridge,  Goodridge,  Goodrich.)  It  is 
not  clearly  ascertained  whether  Goodridge,  or  Goodrich,  is  the  correct  orthography,  as 
both  of  them  are  English  names,  and  they  have  different  coats  of  arms.  Goodrick 
and  Goodricke  are  also  found  in  works  of  heraldry;  and  the  coat  of  arms  of  Good- 
ridge and  Goodricke  render  it  very  probable  that  they  are  of  the  same  origin. 

The  inventory  of"  William  Goodrich,"  of  Watertown,  by  Samuel  Thatcher  and  Thomas 
Hastings,  was  dated  Ap.  3,  1647  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  VII.,  p.  57.] f  His  wid.  Margaret

*We  offer  the  following  conjecture,  to  be  confirmed  or  confuted  by  future  researches,  viz.:  that  John  and 
William  Goodrich.  (?)  brothers,  came  to  this  country  together  from  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  or  that  vicinity,  Co.  Suffolk, 
England ;  that  William,  the  younger,  settled  in  Watertown,  where  he  died  ;  that  John,  the  eldest  of  the  two,  was 
the  John  Guttering  who  was  adm.  freeman  of  Mass..  May,  1642;  that  soon  after  this  he  went  to  Wethersfield, 
where  his  name  appears  in  the  Conn.  Coll.  Records  the  next  year,  taking  with  him  his  two  sons.  John  and  Wil- 
liam (having  left  another  son,  William  [See  Note,  p.  45],  in  England,  to  be  educated,  afterwards  minister  of 
Hegassitt,  d.  about  1677.  s.  p.,  bequeathing  his  estate  to  his  nephews  in  Conn.);  that  he  died  on  his  return  voyage 
to  England,  in  1644,  leaving  in  Wethersfield  those  two  sons,  John  and  William,  from  whom  the  Goodrich  families 
in  Connecticut  are  descended.

the  deceased,  the  other  [Alice]  being  disposed  of  bv  the,  country"'  [to  Emanuel  White,  q.v.].  It  is  probable  that  \\  lute

Agar,  that  was  adm.  freeman  May  18,  1631.     Both  names  are  found  in  England,  and

1  (I.)  THOMAS  HAMMOND,  settled  in  Hingham,  as  early  as  1636,  was  adm. 
freeman  Mar.  9,  1636-7.  and  was  a  grand  juror  Sept.  19,  1637.  In  1650,  and 
again  in  1656,  he  sold  lands  in  Hingham.  In  1650.  he  purchased  land  in  Cam- 
bridge Village  (Newton),  near  the  boundary  line  of  Brookline,  and  near  a  beautiful 
body  of  water,  which  has  since  borne  his  name — "Hammond  Pond."  Nov. 
14,  1656,  for  £40,  he  purchased  of  Esther,  dr.  of  Nathaniel  Sparhawk,  of  Cam- 
bridge, 300  A.  of  land  in  said  town,  on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River,  bounded 
N.,  S.,  and  W.  by  a  farm  granted  by  the  town  to  Robert  Bradish  (partly  now  in  the 
possession  of  wid.  Hammond),  N.  by  land  now  of  John  Ward,  and  Thomas 
Prentice,  formerly  granted  to  Elder  Frost;  E.  by  Mr.  Hibbhvs  land.  His  wife, 
ELIZABETH,  died  first,  and  he  d.  Sept.  30,  1675,  leaving  two  sons,  Thomas  and

To  his  drs.  he  gave  lands  in  Brookline  ("  Muddy  River'').  Inventory,  £1139  16s. 
2d.  There  is  no  clear  evidence  that  he  and  William  Hammond,  of  Watertown, 
were  kinsmen  ;  but  it  is  very  probable.  It  is  supposed  that  he  came  from  Laven- 
ham,  Co.  Suffolk,  England,  whence  it  is  known  that  William  Hammond,  of  Wat., 
came ;  and  that  he  was  the  Thomas  Hammond  who  m.,  in  Lavenham,  Nov.  12,

Aldridge,  of  Dedham,  adm.  freeman  1645,  d.  Feb.  23,  1646.  The  Will  of  wid.  Mary

13,  1664,  Hannah  Thatcher  [2],  and  moved  to  Salem.  His  son  John  d.  in  Wat..,  June

Mary  Gunnison,  was  pub.  at  Kittery,  Sept.  13,  1740.    He  was  constable  of  Wat.  1744-5. 

HOMER.— In  1694,  Michael  Homer,  aged  26  or  27,  wife  Mary,  and  child,  were  of 
Watertown. 

HOOPER. — Feb.  16,  !  1701-2,  Mr.  Foxcroft  appointed  guardian  of  Hannah,  aged 
about  18  yrs.,  and  Henry,  aged  about  16  yrs.,  chil.  of  Richard  Hooper,  physician. 

HOUGHTON". — Ralph  and  John  Houghton,  very  early  settlers  of  Lancaster,  are 
said  to  have  first  settled  in  Watertown;  but  their  names  are  not  found  in  the  town 
records. 

HOW.— 1st  line,  for  1632,  read  1634.     Elder  Edward  How  d.  June  24,  1644.     In  11th 

line,  after  Boxstead,  insert,  Co.  Essex.     July  18,   1658,  "Miss Bunker,"  from 

Watertown  Church,  was  adm.  to  Charlestown  Church.  George  Bunker,  who  married 
the  wid.  of  Edward  How,  of  Wat.,  was  adm.  freeman  Mar.  4,  1634-5,  and  was  con- 
stable of  Charlestown  in  1638.  He  was  one  of  the  wealthiest  settlers  of  the  town, 
and  in  the  divisions  of  land,  his  shares  were  commonly  the  largest  of  any.  One  of 
his  lots  of  land  on  Bunker  Hill  ran  over  its  summit,  and  hence  its  name.  [Fro- 
thingham's  Hist,  of  Charlestown,  p.  83.] 

Elder  Edward  How,  of  Watertown,  and  Matthew  Cradock,  of  London,  were  joint  and 
equal  proprietors  of  the  first  mill  built  in  Watertown.  It  is  probable  that  the  mill 
had  been  built  by  How,  at  the  joint  cost  of  himself  and  Mr.  Cradock.  It  appears  by 
the  earliest  list  of  possessions,  and  likewise  by  his  Inventory,  that  Mr.  Howowned 
the  land  (2  acres)  between  the  river  and  "Mill  Creek,"  extending  from  the  Mill  up 
to  the  stone  dam.  His  homestall  of  40  acres  was  also  in  that  vicinity.  Aug.  19,  1635, 
he  sold  his  moiety  of  the  mill  to  Thomas  Mayhew  for  ,£200,  with  bond  for  £400.  and 
mortgage,  with  condition,  "  that  if  said  Mayhew  pays  to  How  £200,  bond  to  be  void, 
else  said  How  shall  enter  upon  the  moiety  of  said  mill,  as  if  he  had  never  made  sale 
thereof."  Mayhew  bought  the  other  moiety  of  the  mill  of  Nicholas  Davison,  agent 
of  Matthew  Cradock,  of  London.  Ap.  18,  1640,  Mayhew  sold  the  mill  to  Dep.  Gov. 
Dudley  for  £400.  It  is  probable  that  Mayhew  failed  to  perform  his  conditions  with 
How,  and  that  this  gave  rise  to  the  case  briefly  noticed  by  Winthrop,  vol.  II.,  p.  50. 

In  his  Inventory,  by  (Rev.)  John  Knowles  (Capt.)  Win,  Jennison,  and  (Capt.)  John 
Sherman,  is  included  this  bond  and  mortgage  of  Thomas  Mayhew,  for  £400. 

HUBBARD. — See  Ives,  p.  306,  and  Hamlet,  in  Camb.  Church  Gathering,  p.  60.  It 
appears  that  James  Hubbard,  by  wife  Sarah,  had,  1.  James,  who  m.  a  dr.  of  Miles 
Ives,  and  was  his  exr.  and  residuary  legatee.  2.  Sarah,  m.  Samuel  Champney.  3. 
Thomas,  b.  in  Wat.,  Aug.  10,  1638,  '-'joined  the  Church  in  Wethersfield."  He  d.  in 
1738,  and  his  wid.  Sarah  m.  William  Hamlet,  of  Cambridge,  and  of  Wat.  [See  p. 
269.] 

[The  following  account  of  a  Hubbard  family  is  here  inserted,  on  account  of  its  many 
affinities  with  other  families  included  in  this  volume.  It  is  very  defective,  and  it  is 
hoped  that  some  one  will  be  induced  to  supply  its  deficiencies.] 

GEORGE  HUBBARD,  and  wife  MARY,  are  supposed  to  have  come  from  England  about 
1635  or  6,  and  went  with  the  early  settlers  to  Wethersfield,  of  which  he  was  delegate 
in  1638.  His  lot  of  land  in  the  Naubuc  Farms,  laid  out  in  1640,  on  the  east  side  of  the 
river  (now  in'Glastenbury),  contained  195  acres.  He  soon  afterwards  moved  to  Mil- 
ford,  and  was  there  admitted  to  the  church,  Jan.  15,  1644.  In  1648,  he  moved  to 
Guilford,  and  was  there  admitted  to  the  church,  Oct.  6,  1650.  He  was  living  in  Guil- 
ford in  1665.  He  had  at  least  nine  children,  some  of  whom  were  bom  in  England, 
but  the  order  of  iheir  birth  has  not  been  ascertained.  [See  Chapin's  Hist,  of  Glasten-

HUDSON. — Daniel  Hudson  was  taxed  in  Wat.  in  1652,  and  two  acres  were  granted 
to  him  in  King's  Common,  Oct.  22,  1653,  he  to  make  brick  for  the  town's  use.  Nov. 
7,  1664,  he  was  released  from  the  condition.  In  the  Inventory  of  John  Chinery  was

JACKSON. — About  1637,  or  earlier,  Robert  Lockwood,  Isaac  Sternes,  and  Henry

licensed  by  ihe  Gen.  Court,  Oct.  7.  1G40,  to  keep  an  ordinary  in  Hingham.  In  Nov. 
1 646,  he  was  appointed  one  of  the  Commissioners  to  end  small  causes,  and  was 
elected  Deputy  of  Hingham  in  1648,  49,  &c.  His  Will,  dated  May  18,  proved  July 
28.  1657,  mentions  wife  Mary  (Ex'x),  eldest  son  John,  son  Joseph,  drs.  Mary  Otis, 
Elizabeth  Thackster,  Sarah  Cushen,  Hannah  (m.,  Dec.  13,  1657,  Thomas  Loring,  Jr., 
of  Hull),  and  Deborah.     Inventory,  £393  8s.  6d.     [See  Geneal.  Reg.  viii.  p.  280.] 


JA1VEES. — The  marriage  contract  between  wid.  Reana  James  and  William  Andrew, 
was  made  Aug.  11,  1640,  and  on  Aug.  21,  1664,  "  Daniel  Kempster,  aged  77,"  testi- 
fied that  he  witnessed  the  signature  of  the  contract. 

JENNISON.— In  4th  line  from  the  bottom,  for  Black,  read  Block  Island.  Mr. 
William  Jennison  was  by  the  court,  chosen  Ancient  (ensign)  to  Capt.  Patrick,  Aug. 
16,  1631,  and  held  the  office  until  Mar.  9,  1636-7,  when  he  was  chosen  Captain  for 
Watertown.  He  was  one  of  the  first  three  Commissioners  for  Watertown,  appointed 
in  1638,  to  end  small  causes,  and  he  appears  to  have  held  it,  by  reappointments,  until 
his  return  to  England.  Oct.  6,  1634,  he  was  fined  £20,  by  the  Court  "for  upbraiding 
the  court  with  injustice,  uttering  these  words:  '  I  pray  God  deliver  me  from  this  court,' 
professing  he  had  waited  from  court  to  court,  and  could  not  have  justice  done  him." 
At  the  next  court,  Ap.  7,  1635,  this  fine  was  remitted.  The  Colonial  Records  show 
that  the  court  had  great  confidence  in  his  capacity  and  integrity.  He  received 
numerous  appointments  on  committees,  of  which  he  was  often  chairman,  for  deter- 
mining boundaries  between  towns,  and  plotting  new  towns;  also  on  questions  of 
taxation,  Indian  affairs,  and  contested  land  claims.  He,  and  Mr.  Mayhew,  both  of 
Watertown,  were  appointed  to  bring  Mr.  Nathaniel  Eaton  (the  first  principal  of 
Harvard  College),  to  trial  for  his  misconduct,  chiefly  in  relation  of  his  mal-treatment 
of  Nathaniel  Briscoe,  Jr.,  son  of  Nathaniel,  Sen.,  of  Watertown. 

In  May,  1637,  be  was  one  of  the  four  commissioners  appointed  by  the  court,  to  provide 
men,  munitions,  and  provisions  for  the  Pequod  war.  Sept.  3,  1638,  the  court  granted 
him  200  acres  of  land,  which  was  the  land  mentioned  in  the  following  transaction.  Ap. 
8,  1657,  William  Jennison,  "  of  Colchester,  Old  England,"  by  his  brother  Robert, 
his  att'y,  conveyed  to  Edmund  Rice,  200  acres,  granted  to  said  William  ;  bounded 
W.  by  the  Dunster  Farm;  N.  by  Sudbury  line;  E.  by  Wat.  line;  S.  by  Dedham 
bounds.  This  land  passed  from  Edmund  Rice,  to  his  son  Matthew.  This  conveyance 
shows  that  Capt.  Jennison  was  living  in  England,  as  late  as  1657,  and  renders  it 
probable  that  the  Jennison  family  originated  in  Colchester,  Co.  of  Essex. 

According  to  Frothingham's  Hist,  of  Cliarlestown,  there  was  a  William  Jennison,  resi- 
ding there  in  1678.     This  is  probably  a  mistake  for  Jamieson,  or  Jameson.

p,  326.  KING-.— 9th  line,  for  1646,  read  1644.  This  "  young,  resolute,  and  confident" 
Thomas  King,  appears  to  have  been  the  pioneer  in  the  settlement  of  Rutland  [then 
called  Nashaway] .  From  an  excursion  thither,  with  Sholan,  an  Indian  chief,  he  returned 
and  induced  the  hardy  and  adventurous  John  Prescott  and  others,  to  go  and  com- 
mence a  settlement  there.  He  and  Symonds,  built  a  trading  house ;  but  he  died  in 
Watertown,  before  he  had  moved  his  family  thither.  His  Inventory  renders  it  very 
probable  that  he  was  a  trader  in  Watertown.  [See  Willard's  Centennial  Address,  at 
Lancaster,  and  Geneal.  Reg.  viii..  p.  56.]  Mary  King,  a  member  of  the  2d  church,

Richard,  was  bap.  Oct.  18,  1711.  Was  this  the  Richard  King  who  settled  in  Water- 
town,  as  early  as  1740,  and  afterwards  moved  to  Scarborough'? 

The  Will  of  Richard  King,  of  Littleton,  dated  Feb.  25.  proved  Mar.  26,  1771,  mentions 
wife  Elizabeth;  sons  Roger,  Richard,  and  Samuel;  dr.  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Josiah 
Parkhurst;  dr.  Mary,  wife  of  Oliver  Corey;  dr.  Abigail,  wife  of  Asa  Lawrence  [J. 
Lawrence,  276,  Part  II.]  ;  and  son  James. 

Sept..  1739,  caution  against  (settlement  of)  Rachel  King,  from  Boston,  staying  at  wid. 
Barnard's.  Feb.  10,  1740,  Richard  King  petitioned  the  selectmen  of  Wat.,  for  per- 
mission to  erect  a  sawpit  or  scaffold,  at  the  S.  end  of  the  bridge  ;  not  granted.

JOHN    LAWRENCE.  819 

JOHN"  LAWRENCE. 

(I.)  JOHN  LAWRENCE*  settled  in  Watertown,  probably  in  1635,  as  his  eldest  child 
was  born  there,  Mar.  14,  1635-6.  His  name  is  on  the  earliest  list  of  proprietors  extant, 
and  he  was  adm.  freeman  Ap.  17,  1637.  The  date  of  his  arrival  in  America  has  not  been 
ascertained,  nor  is  it  known  whether  he  was  married  before  or  after  his  arrival.  No- 
thing has  yet  been  ascertained  from  American  records  or  archives,  with  respect  to  his 
parentage  or  ancestry.  It  has  been  supposed  that  he  was  the  John  Lavvrencef  of  great  St. 
Albans,  Hertfordshire,  who  embarked  in  the  Planter,  for  New  England,  in  1635,  then  aged 
17  years.  This  is  evidently  a  mistake,  as  the  passenger  in  the  Planter  was  only  19  years 
old  when  John  Lawrence,  of  Watertown,  was  admitted  freeman. 

By  his  first  wife,  ELIZABETH,  he  had  12  children,  all  born  between  his  settlement  in 
Watertown,  and  his  removal  to  Groton,  whither  he  moved  in  the  autumn  of  1662.  His 
wife,  Elizabeth  d.  there  the  next  summer,  Aug.  29,  1663,  and  he  m.  (2d),  Nov.  2,  1664, 
SUSANNA  BATCHELDER,  dr.  of  William  Batchelder,  of  Charlestown.  He  d.  July  11, 
1667,  and  his  wid.  Susanna  d.  July  8,  1668.  His  Will,  dated  Ap.  24,  proved  Oct.  1,  1667, 
appoints  his  wife,  and  sons  Nathaniel  and  Joseph,  ex'rs;  mentions  sons  Enoch,  Samuel, 
Isaac,  Jonathan,  and  Zechariah;  of  the  three  at  home,  Elizabeth,  "  to  live  with  Mr.  Ensigne 
Buss,  of  Concord,  till  of  age;  the  other  two,  Enoch  and  Zechariah,  be  trust  to  Samuel 
Willard  and  William  Lakin,  till  of  age."  To  his  dr.  Mary  he  gave  only  half  a  portion 
with  the  rest,  "to  teach  her  a  remembrance  of  her  disobedience  and  unfaithfulness  to  me 
in  my  distress."  [She  had  married  two  days  before  the  decease  of  her  mother.]  Inven-

father  and  mother  Bachelder:  two  sisters,  Rachel  Atwood  and  Abigail  Asting;  her  father 
Bachelder,  and  brother  Atwood,  of  Maiden,  ex'rs. 

The  date  of  his  removal  to  Groton  is  determined  with  sufficient  precision  by  the  follow- 
ing facts.  Oct.  23,  1662,  he  sold  land  in  Watertown  to  John  Barnard.  Oct.  27,  1662,  he 
sold  another  lot  to  William  Page,  and  on  the  same  day  another  lot  to  Joseph  Underwood, 
and  oa  the  same  day  he  sold  to  John  Biscoe  his  homestead  in  Watertown,  a  dwelling- 
house,  &c,  and  about  thirteen  acres,  "being  the  now  mansion-house  of  said  John 
Lawrence,"  bounded  on  the  E.  by  the  highway;  N.  by  Timothy  Hawkins  and  John  Ham- 
mond ;  W.  by  the  meadow  of  said  Biscoe  ;  S.  by  land  of  John  Flemming,  deceased ;  wid. 
Dix,  and  her  sonne;  wid.  Bartlelt,  and  said  Biscoe.  In  Dec.  1662,  "  meet  men  were  found 
amongst  the  inhabitants  [of  Groton] ,  when  Dea.  James  Parker,  John  Lawrence,  William 
Martin,  Richard  Blood,  and  James  Fiske,  were  chosen  selectmen"  [Butler,  p.  17].  His 
early  admision  as  freeman,  and  this  election  to  the  first  board  of  selectmen  of  Groton, 
show  that  he  was  well  known,  and  of  good  repute.  According  to  the  list  of  posses- 
sions in  Watertown  in  1642,  he  then  owned  7  lots,  amounting  to  154i  acres.  In 
legal  instruments  he  was  designated  a  carpenter,  although,  from  the  amount  of  his 
land,  it  might  be  presumed  that   he  was  chiefly  devoted  to   agriculture.      The   birth 

*  In  compiling  the  following  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  John  Lawrence,  we  with  pleasure  acknowledge 
our  obligations,  in  the  first  place,  to  Butlers  very  valuable  History  of  Groton.  so  often  referred  to  in  the  course 
of  this  work;  in  the  next  place,  to  the  Genealogy  of  Isaac  Lawrence  [366],  by  Mr.  F.  S.  Pease,  published  in  Al- 
bany in  1S53;  and  lastly,  to  "  the  Memoir  of  the  Family  of  John  Lawrence,"  by  Rev.  John  Lawrence,  printed  in 
Boston  in  1S47,  but  not  published.  To  the  latter  we  are  indebted  for  much  information  respecting  the  later 
generations.  A  gentleman  has  lately  succeeded,  as  we  are  told,  in  discovering  the  pedigree  of  the  Lawrence 
families  in  England,  and  tracing  it  hack  to  a  remote  period.  This  pedigree  has  not  yet  been  received  in  this 
country.     Perhaps  it  may  he  forwarded  in  such  time  as  to  find  a  place  in  our  Appendix.

Ireland,  Dec.  30,  1656.  It  appears  by  the  court  files  of  Essex,  1659,  that  Joanna  Tuttle  had  a  son  George  Gid- 
dings;  sou  John  Lawrence  ;  sons  John  and  Simon  Tuttle.  Also,  that  there  was  a  John  Tuttle,  then  aged  33, 
nephew  o\  her  husband.     As  no  son  William  Lawrence  is  mentioned  in  this  document,  we  may  infer  that  he  was 

not  then  living.     It  is  here  evident  that  this  Joanna  m.  (1st), Lawrence,  and  afterwards  John  Tuttle.    The

of  his  dr.  Elizabeth  is  recorded  in  Boston,  and  as  no  births  of  his  family  are  recorded  in

his  trade.     Chil.,

1.  John,  b.  Mar.  14,  1735-6.  He  is  not  mentioned  in  his  father's  Will,  and  it 
might  therefore  be  concluded  that  he  was  deceased,  and  without  issue.  But  it 
is  to  be  observed,  that  he  does  not  mention  his  son  Peleg,  nor  his  drs.  Abigail 
and  Susanna,  who  are  known  to  have  been  then  living.  We  shall  assume  that 
he  was  then  living,  until  there  is  some  evidence  to  disprove  it,  and  that  he  had 
a  family. 

2.  Jonathan,  buried  Ap.  6.  1648.

1672;  m.,  1670-1  (?)  Rebecca  .     He  was  probably  the  Joseph  Lawrence 

who,  by  wife  Rebecca,  had  dr.  Rebecca,  bap.  in  the  1st  Church  of  Boston,  Feb. 
1,  1679-80.  and  who  d.  Nov.  14,  1685.  It  is  conjectured  that  the  persons  making 
the  following  Will  were  his  wife  and  daughter.  The  Will  of  Rebecca  Law- 
rence (?  of  Boston),  dated  July  18,  proved  Dec.  12,  1726,  gives  her  estate  to  her 
mother,  Rebecca.  The  Will  of  wid.  Rebecca  Lawrence,  dated  Sept.  27,  proved 
Oct.  11,  1731,  bequeathed  her  estate  to  her  sisters,  Margaret  Davis,  Ruth  Royee, 
Maria  Frost,  Hanna  Davis  ;  nephew  Wm.  Whitcomb,  and  niece  Huldah 
Archibel.    [Joseph  Lawrence  was  witness  to  Broomfleld'sdeed,  Newbury,  1677.]

9.  Samuel,  mentioned  in  his  father's  Will,;  probably  the  one  who  m.,  Sept.  14,  1682,

10.  Isaac,  mentioned  in  his  father's  Will;  m.,  Ap.  19,  1682,  Abigail  Bellows, 
b.  in  Concord,  May  6,  1661.  dr.  of  John  and  Mary  (Wood)  Bellows  [see  u  Bel-

one  who  m.,  in  Camb.,  Nov.  5,  1677,  Rebecca  Rutter.  If  so,  they  d.  s.  p.,  for 
Jonathan,  of  Groton,  in  his  Will,  does  not  mention  wife  or  children  ;  but  he  gave 
to  the  town  of  Groton  £100 ;  to  the  Church  of  Christ,  in  Groton,  £40,  to  be  laid 
out  for  the  procuring  some  silver  vessel  or  vessels  for  the  church's  use,  as  they 
shall  order.  Also,  £20,  the  income  to  be  annually  paid  or  accounted  for  to  the 
settled  or  ordained  minister. 

13.  Zechariah,  b.  in  Wat.,  Mar.  9,  1658-9.  He  was  probably  the  Zechariah  Law- 
rence, of  Boston,  mariner,  master  of  the  "Success,"  against  whom  a  suit  for 
wages  was  brought  in  1691. 

(By  2d  wife,  Susanna.)

be  20  yrs.,  and  that  of  Abigail  Lawrence  to  be  19  yrs.  [Perhaps  it  will  yet  be 
discovered  that  this  John  Lawrence  was  a  son  of  Henry  and  Christian  Lawrence, 
of  Charlestown.]

(IV.)  Capt.  ISAAC  LAWRENCE,  m.  (1st)  LYDIA  HEWITT,  who  d.  Nov.  14, 
1767,  aged  60.  He  m.  (2d)  wid.  AMY  WHITNEY,  s.  p.  He  d.  Dec.  2,  1793, 
aged  88  yrs.  9  m.  and  23  d. ;  and  his  wid.  survived  him  26  years.  "In  the 
spring  of  1738,  with  a  team  composed  of  a  yoke  of  oxen  and  a  horse,  he  started, 
with  his  family  and  goods  in  a  cart,  for  his  new  home,  in  what  was  then  called 
the  New  or  Western  country,"  and  he  reached  Canaan,  the  place  of  his  destina- 
tion, June  2,  1738.  The  last  30  miles  of  the  journey  was  through  a  heavily 
wooded  forest,  without  house,  or  road,  or  bridge,  over  streams  too  deep  to  be 
forded.  It  is  said  that  nine  days,  some  say  fourteen  days,  were  occupied  in 
making  this  part  of  the  journey,  from  New  Hartford  to  Canaan.  He  first  en- 
camped under  an  oak  tree,  and  soon  after  made  a  temporary  shelter  in  the  side 
of  a  hill,  half  under  ground,  in  which  he  lived  until  the  next  spring,  when  he 
built  a  house  on  the  lot  opposite  to  the  saw-mill.  A  few  years  afterwards,  he  built 
a  second  house,  and  in  1751,  he  built  the  house  which  has  been  long  known  as 
the  Lawrence  Tavern,  and  which  he  occupied  until  about  1786,  when  he  relin- 
quished the  care  of  it  to  his  son  Jonas,  with  whom  he  lived  until  his  decease. 
His  stature  was  six  feet,  and  erect,  frame  large,  but  not  fleshy ;  was  intelligent 
and  sociable,  with  a  pleasant  countenance.  In  business,  he  was  active  and  cor- 
rect, and  his  character  unblemished.  JBy  occupation  he  was  a  farmer,  but,  having 
a  good  deal  of  mechanical  ingenuity,  he  used  to  do  some  work  for  himself,  and 
neighbors,  as  a  carpenter  and  joiner,  and  is  said  to  have  superintended  the  erection 
of  the  first  meeting-house  in  Canaan. 

"  He  accumulated  a  valuable  property,  owned  several  large  farms,  which  he 
kept  under  cultivation  ;  was  the  owner  of  twenty  slaves  at  one  time,  to  whom  he 
gave  their  freedom  before  his  death,  with  the  exception  of  one,  who  was  liberated 
by  his  heirs,  making  provision  for  the  aged  and  infirm,  and  contributing  to  the 
comfort  of  others  who  were  needy."  He  held  many  town  offices,  and  was  Rep- 
resentative to  the  General  Assembly,  in  1765.  He  was  at  first  a  member  of  the 
Cong.  Church,  now  in  South  Canaan.  In  1769,  he  and  his  wife  were  dis- 
missed to  the  church  in  North  Canaan.  [For  more  particulars  respecting  his 
migration,  his  settlement,  and  his  public  services,  see  Genealogy  of  the  Ancestry

warned  out  of  Pepperill,  in  1760,  which  implies  that  they  had  recently  gone 
there.   [?  Thomas  Lawrence  m.,  in  Groton,  May  5,  1757,  Sarah  Bailey.] 

1.  Edmund,  b.  Ap.  14,  1745.  The  tradition  is,  that,  when  a  young  man,  he  drove 
a  team  for  a  man,  who  was  transporting  goods  in  order  to  commence  trade  in 
Winchester,  N.  H.;  that  on  his  way  he  became  enamoured  with  Bethsheba 
Butterfield,  the  dr.  of  an  innkeeper,  married  her,  and  settled  in  Winchester. 
We  have  the  names  of  only  two  of  his  children,  viz., 

1.  Edmund,  b.  Feb.  23,  1772. 

2.  Nathaniel,  m.  Molly  Buttrick,  and  moved  to   Marlboro,  Vt.,  where  he  d.

Parker,  of  Groton.  He  d.  Nov.  8,  1827,  aged  73,  and  his  wid.  d.  May  2, 
1845,  aged  89.  "  He  was  one  of  those  who  rallied  at  Concord  to  oppose  the  pro- 
gress of  the  British  troops.  When  the  news  of  their  approach  reached  Groton,  he 
was  in  the  field,  when,  mounting  his  horse,  he  rode  through  the  adjoining  towns, 
giving  the  alarm,  and  returned  in  season  to  join  his  company  at  the  meeting- 
house. In  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  he  received  a  slight  wound,  and  his  hat  and 
coat,  pierced  with  the  balls  of  the  enemy,  were  preserved  many  years.  At  the 
lime  of  his  marriage,  while  the  ceremony  was  in  progress,  the  tolling  of  the 
meeting-house  bell  called  out  the  minute  men,  whereupon  he  parted  from  his 
bride  as  soon  as  the  rite  was  finished,  and  marched  to  Rhode  Island.  He  soon 
returned  on  a  furlough  of  a  few  days,  after  which  she  did  not  see  him  again  until 
after  the  birth  of  their  first-born.  He  continued  in  the  service  until  the  close  of 
the  war;  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Major,  and  was  in  many  of  the  hardest 
fought  battles  of  the  Revolution. 
"Respected  and  beloved  by  his  townsmen,  they  willingly  elected  him  to  those

offices  in  which  he  would  serve.  Hospitable  and  kind  in  his  manners,  a  pleasant 
remembrance  is  still  cherished  of  the  cordial  welcome  and  comforts  his  house 
afforded.  He  was  an  exemplary  Christian,  and  a  deacon  of  the  church.  He  was 
one  of  the  originators  of  Groton  Academy,  now  most  appropriately  entitled  '  The 
Lawrence  Academy:  In  this  school  his  children  received  their  early  education,  and 
well  have  they  remembered  its  origin,  and  the  advantages  they  there  enjoyed."  Chil.,

(VI.)  AMOS  LAWRENCE.  Esq.,  of  Boston.  He  engaged  early  in  mercantile 
life,  as  a  clerk  in  Groton,  where  he  remained  until  he  attained  his  majority.  He 
then,  in  Ap.  1807,  went  to  Boston,  and,  after  serving  a  short  time  as  a  clerk,  he 
so  far  won  the  favor  of  his  employers,  by  his  energy  and  sagacity,  that  they  pro- 
posed to  him  a  partnership  in  their  firm,  which,  however,  he  wisely  declined. 
The  next  Dec.  (1807),  he  commenced  business  on  his  own  account.  His  busi- 
ness increased  rapidly,  and  was  attended  with  unvarying  prosperity.  He  invited 
his  brother  Abbott  to  Boston,  and,  when  arrived  at  the  proper  age,  made  him  a 
full  partner  in  business.  Then  originated  that  mercantile  house  (A.  and  A.  Law- 
rence), of  which  he  was  the  head  about  forty  years,  and  which,  for  success  and 
honorable  repute,  has  probably  never  been  surpassed  in  New  England. 

His  success  is  not  attributable  to  good  luck  in  hazardous  adventures,  but  to  a 
rare  sagacity  and  energy,  that  ;'  commanded  uniform  and  great  success.  His 
judgment  was  shown  not  merely  in  his  purchases,  and  in  the  lines  of  business  on 
which  he  entered,  but  also  in  the  selection  of  agents,  clerks,  and  partners,  and 
in  deciding  whom  he  might  safely  trust.  He  never,  or  very  rarely,  made  bad 
debts.  It  is  said,  there  has  been  no  man  in  Boston,  who  took  hold  of  business 
with  the  same  grasp  and  energy.  Quick  in  his  perceptions,  deciding  as  by  in- 
tuition, and  prompt  in  action,  he  is  said  to  have  had,  in  those  days,  little 
patience  with  the  slow,  the  inefficient,  the  dainty,  or  those  who  felt  above  their 
business." 

He  continued  in  active  business  for  twenty-five  years.  At  the  end  of  that  time 
he  was  so  suddenly,  and  so  deeply  prostrated,  by  drinking  cold  water  when 
heated,  that  for  many  days  he  was  not  expected  to  recover.  Although  he  sur- 
vived this  attack  about  20  years,  his  health  continued  very  delicate,  and  he  often 
had  sudden  attacks  of  such  severity,  that  he  did  not  expect  to  survive.  After  this 
failure  of  his  health,  "  he  gave  no  attention  to  the  details  of  business,  but  re- 
mained the  senior  partner  of  the  firm,  giving  counsel  and  general  direction,  being 
consulted  and  relied  on  in  all  questions  of  difficulty  and  importance." 

It  is  extremely  rare  to  find  in  the  same  person  such  an  earnest  disposition, 
united  with  such  ample  ability,  to  do  good.  A  simple  detail  of  the  events  of  his 
life — of  his  beneficence,  and  the  wise  discretion,  and  kindly  manner  in  which  it 
was  accomplished — would  be  a  better  eulogium  on  this  munificent  benefactor, 
than  any  highly  wrought  rhetoric.  Fidelity  to  the  cause  of  humanity,  by  holding 
up  for  imitation  so  worthy  an  example,  demands  those  details  to  be  stated  now, 
which  could  not  have  been  done  in  his  lifetime,  without  wounding  the  sensibility 
of  one,  who  unfeignedly  shunned  notoriety.  But  it  does  not  comport  with  the 
plan  and  scope  of  this  work  to  enter  into  such  details.  [For  a  delineation  of  his 
character  and  services,  see  the  Sermon  of  his  pastor,  Rev.  Dr.  S.  K.  Lolhrop ; 
Prof.  Packard's  Hist,  of  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument;  but  especially  the  excellent

manufactures  on  the  Merrimac,  he  moved  to  Lowell,  where  he  long  resided,  until

license,  and  kept  the  house  about  two  years,  when  he  relinquished  it  to  Benjamin 
Prentice,  and  moved  to  Cambridge.  In  1770  the  house  was  taken  and  kept  about 
two  years  by  another  son,  Bezaleel.  Admin,  on  estate  of  wid.  Mary  Learned  was

852  LINTON. — LIVERMORE. 

LINTON. — It  is  supposed  that  Richard  Linton,  of  Wat.,  went  to  Concord,  and  re- 
sided a  few  years  (1638  to  1642),  and  there  bore  the  name  of  Lettin  ;  and  that  thence 
he  moved  to  Lancaster  with  the  first  settlers.  Richard  Lynton  was  at  Mr.  Cradock's 
plantation,  in  Sept.,  1630. 

p.  338.  LIVERMORE.— [1.]  It  is  probable  that  John  Livermore  settled  first  in 
Watertown,  and  very  soon  went  to  Connecticut,  with  other  Watertown  people.  In  the 
first  place,  a  large  portion  of  the  passengers  of  the  Francis,  with  whom  he  embarked 
at  Ipswich,  in  Ap.,  1634,  settled  in  Watertown.  In  the  second  place,  he  was  adm. 
freeman  with  several  other  Watertown  men,  in  May,  1635.  In  the  third  place,  his  name 
is  ou  a  list  of  very  early  proprietors  of  Watertown.  This  list  is  not  dated,  but  it  con- 
tains the  names  of  many  of  those,  who  went  to  Wethersfield  and  Dedham,  in  1635  and 
36.  The  first  notice  of  him  in  Connecticut,  was  in  1639,  when  he,  then  of  New 
Haven,    signed    the    fundamental    agreement  of  the 

New  Haven   colony.     His  autograph  may  be  seen  in         T~f      /•    a.  n 

vol.  i.,  p.  1,  of  the  Col.  Rec.  of  New  Haven.     It  is  not        joh^.  ^ftr-moy-fr- 
improbable  that  he  went  to  Wethersfield.  and  remained 

there  until  the  settlement  of  New  Haven  was  projected,  when  he  and  Robert  Seely  joined 
the  planters  of  that  town.  He  was  "  admitted  a  member  of  the  Court"  (i.  e.  made  a 
freeman  of  the  colony),  Oct.  29,  1640,  and  took  the  oath  of  allegiance,  July  1,  1644. 
June  11,  1645,  a  It  was  proposed  that  another  ordinary  might  be  set  up  towards  the 
waterside,"  and  it  was  "  left  with  John  Livermore  to  consider  of  it."  [Col.  Rec.  of  N.  H., 
I.,  p.  103.]  His  home  lot,  which  has  been  identified,  was  on  the  west  side  of  Fleet 
Street,  next  but  one  to  the  Harbor.  May  17,  1647,  Joseph  Nash  was  chosen  corporal, 
"  in  room  of  John  Livermore,  who  expects  to  go  to  England."  His  name  does  not 
appear  in  the  records  again,  until  Jan.,  1648-9,  after  an  interval  of  about  20  months;  and 
it  is  probable  that  he  was  in  England.  May  7,  1650,  "John  Livermore  hath  sould 
and  passeth  to  Theophilus  Higginson,  his  house  and  house-lot  i  acre  and  10  perches; 
8  acres  |,  15  rods  on  this  side  the  West  River,  next  the  land  of  Richard  Beach;  6^ 
acres  25  rods,  on  the  other  side  the  West  River,  next  Milford  highway,  by  the  meadow 
side;  28  acres  of  the  2d  division,  betwixt  the  lands  of  Edward  Banister  and  Richard 
Osborne;  5  acres  of  meadow  in  the  West  Meadow,  next  meadow  of  Henry  Gibbons; 
3  acres  of  meadow  in  Solitary  Cove,  with  the  workhouses,  with  the  land  belonging 
to  them;  bounded  with  stump  of  a  tree  next  the  sea,  running  along  the  creek  to  the 
end  of  the  house — being  in  breadth  so  wide  as  the  house  is."  [Col.  Rec,  N.  Haven, 
II,  p.  18.] 
It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Livermore  left  New  Haven,  about  the  date  of  this  sale,  as  his 
name  does  not  afterwards  occur  in  the  records.  It  has  not  been  ascertained  whether 
he  went  directly  to  Watertown,  but  it  is  probable,  as  he  was  a  juror  in  July,  1653. 
From  the  rule  for  assessing  in  New  Haven,  it  appears  that  John  Livermore  had  a  wife 
and  two  children  when  he  went  there,  or  soon  after,  as  he  was  rated  for  four  persons 
[not  including  servants],  and  £100  estate.  In  the  first  "seating  the  meeting-house," 
in  1642,  seats  were  assigned  to  John  Livermore,  and  to  "  sister  Livermore."  Chil-

[10.]  The  "  Cowpen  Farm,"  upon  which  Lieut.  John  Livermore  settled,  was  on  or  near 
the  border  of  Sudbury,  and  he  was  a  member  of  Sud.  Church,  until  the  organization 
of  Weston  Church  ("the  Farmer's  Church"),  of  which  he  was  an  original  member. 
Elizabeth,  his  dr.  (probably  by  his  2d  wife),  was  adm.  f.  c.  Weston,  1728,  and  d.  May

to  it,  were  near  Nonesuch  Meadow.  Oct.  22,  1695,  John  Grout,  Sen,  of  Sud,  con-

adm.  f.  c.  to  the  West  [Waltham]  Church,  Feb.  18,  1725-6.  He  had  been  the  school- 
master most,  if  not  all  of  the  time  after  his  graduation.  This  shows  an  error  of  dates 
in  the  Annals  of  Portsmouth,  as  to  the  time  of  his  settling  there.  He  probably  went 
to  Portsmouth  in  1726,  was  master  of  the  grammar-school  until  1731,  when  he  was 
admitted  and  sworn  as  an  attomey-at-law.  Soon  afterward,  Gov.  Belcher  [who  was 
a  distant  relative],  appointed  him  Attorney-General  for  the  Province,  and  advocate 
for  the  King  in  Courts  of  Admiralty.  "  He  was  serious  in  his  deportment,  exem- 
plary in  his  conduct,  and  firm  in  his  belief  of  the  truths  of  the  gospel."  [See  Annals 
of  Portsmouth,  p.  261.]     It  has  not  been  ascertained  that  he  ever  married.

p.  353.  LOCKWOOD. — Edmund  Lock  wood  applied  to  be  adm.  freeman,  Oct.  1630, 
and  was  adm.  May  18,  1631.  He  was  foreman  of  a  jury  appointed  by  the  Court, 
Nov.  9,  1630,  on  a  trial  for  murder.  He,  "  Mr.  Lockwood,"  was  one  of  the  two  per- 
sons appointed  by  the  Court,  May  9,  1632,  for  New  Towne,  to  confer  with  the  Court, 
"  about  the  raising  of  a  publick  stock."  At  the  same  time  he  was  appointed  constable 
of  New  Towne.  He  d.  previous  to  Mar.  3,  1634-5,  when  his  wid.  Ruth  ["?  Elizabeth] 
was  ordered  by  the  Court  to  place  all  writings  left  by  her  husband  in  the  hands  of 
John  Haynes,  &c.  It  is  very  probable  that  he  was  one  of  those  first  planters  of  Water- 
town  who  went  thither  with  Sir  Richard  Saltonslall  ;  that  upon  the  planting  of  New- 
town, the  next  year,  either  he  moved  thither,  or  he  had  settled  so  far  to  the  East  as  to 
be  within  the  bounds  assigned  to  Newtown,  and  that  he  was  brother  of  Robert  Lock- 
wood,  of  Watertown,  who  was  executor  of  his  estate.  This  supposition  is  favored  by 
the  fact,  1st.  that  on  the  31st  of  March,  1631  (before  New  Town  was  planted),  he  was  a 
surety  for  Nicholas  Knapp,  of  Watertown.  2dly.  On  the  7th  of  April,  1635,  the  General 
Court  referred  to  the  church  of  Watertown,  with  the  consent  of  Robert  Lockwood, 
exec'r  of  Edmund  Lockwood,  deceased,  to  dispose  of  the  elder  children  of  said  E.  L., 
and  the  estate  given  to  them,  at  their  discretion ;  to  take  account  of  the  said  Robert 
Lockwood,  and  give  him  a  full  discharge.  It  is  probable  that  he  had  two  wives,  the 
first  of  whom  was  mother  of  "  the  elder  children,"  assigned  to  the  care  of  Wat.  Church. 
His  2d  wife  was  Elizabeth,  dr.  of  John  Masters,  of  Wat.,  by  whom  he  had  a  son  John, 
b.  in  Newtown,  Nov.  1632.  After  his  decease,  his  wid.  Elizabeth  m.  Cary  Latham, 
of  Newtown,  who  moved  to  New  London,  Conn.,  and  by  him  she  had  several  chil.

It  is  probable  that  all  of  the  name  of  Lockwood  in  New  England  are  descended  from 
Robert  and  Edmund,  and  there  is  not  much  doubt  but  that  there  is  a  misnomer  of  the 
widow  of  Edmund,  in  the  Court  Records  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  as  printed,  I.  p.  134,

MADDOCK—  [2.]  A  letter  of  John  Maddock,  of  Wat.,  dated  Jan.  16,  1698-9,  says, 
that  since  the  last  he  had  a  son  [Henry],  born,  named  for  his  grandfather,  and  it  ap- 
pears that  he  had  an  uncle,  John  Maddock,  of  Barbadoes,  at  that  time.  Admin,  was 
granted  to  wid.  Ruth  Maddock,  Mar.  1,  1702-3.  His  Inventory  was  dated  Feb.  26,

(house  and  two-thirds  acre;  in  the  sale  of  it  to  Jonas  Bond,  called  1  acre),  was  on  the 
S.  side  of  the  river,  probably  in  Newton,  bounded  E.  by  highway:  S.  and  W.  by

Elizabeth.    The  last  must  be  erroneous. 

MAGINNAH.— Ap.  4,  1682,  selectmen  of  Wat.  stated  to  the  Court  that  Daniel 
Maginnah,  an  Irishman,  is  lately  removed  from  Medford,  and  hired  estate  of  Richard 
Houlding,  having  a  poor  place,  and  considerable  family  of  children,  and  they  disap-

1 658,  upon  the  request  of  the  inhabitants  of  Watertown,  he  was  "  em  powered  to  solemnize

an  ordinary.  He  was  discharged  June  4,  1639,  a  few  months  before  he  died.  [See 
Lockwood,  also  Tabor,  in  Part  II.] 

MAYHEW". — It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Thomas  Mayhew  arrived  in  1631,  as  he  was 
chairman  of  the  committee  which  reported  to  the  Court,  Mar.  6,  1631-2,  the  boundary 
between  Charlestown  and  Newtown.  For  the  ensuing  13  years,  it  appears  by  the 
Colonial  Records,  that  few,  if  any,  other  persons  so  often  received  important  appoint- 
ments from  the  General  Court.  It  would  require  a  large  space  to  enumerate  them. 
He  was  one  of  the  first  Commissioners  appointed  for  Watertown,  to  end  small  causes 
in  1638,  and  held  the  office  by  re-appointment,  until  1642.  For  other  town  offices, 
see  p.  364.  Oct.  10,  1641,  James  Forett,  agent  of  the  Earl  of  Stirling,  granted  to 
Thomas  Mayhew,  of  Watertown,  and  his  son  Thomas,  Nantucket,  and  two  small 
islands  adjacent:  and  on  the  23d  of  the  same  month,  he  granted  to  them  Martha's 
Vineyard,  and  the  Elizabeth  Islands.  Of  these,  Mr.  Mayhew  was  constituted 
Governor.  [Hutchinson's  Hist.  I.,  p.  161.]  While  in  Watertown,  he  built  the  first 
bridge  over  Charles  River,  about  1641  (only  a  foot-bridge);  was  temporarily  pro- 
prietor of  the  Mill,  of  the  fishing-wears,  of  the  Oldham  Farm,  and  of  the  Bradstreet 
Farm,  in  Cambridge  Village  (now  Newton).  It  is  probable  that  his  son,  and  others 
with  him,  went  to  Martha's  Vineyard,  soon  after  the  grant  was  made,  and  that  Mr. 
Mayhew,  Sen.,  did  not  move  there,  until  the  spring  or  summer  of  1645,  as  he  signed 
the  report  of  a  committee,  as  chairman,  Dec.  7,  1644,  which  was  presented  to  the 
Court  the  next  May ;  and  his  place  on  a  committee  was  supplied  by  another  appoint- 
ment the  next  October. 

On  the  14th  Oct.,  1647,  Thomas  Paine,  son  of  Thomas  Paine,  of  London,  deceased,  15 
years  old  and  upwards,  chooses  Thomas  Mayhew,  "now  of  the  Vineyard,"  my  father- 
in-law.  and  Grace,  his  wife,  my  (?)  mother-in-law,  guardians  till  21  years  of  age, 
which' will  be  8th  Feb.,  1652.  It  is  probable  that  this  was  Thomas  Mayhew,  Jr.,  and 
that  Jane  was  the  last  wife  of  Thomas,  Sen.

information  contained  in  them  was  not  combined,  as  it  obviously  ought  to  be.

Rebecca  Cradock,  alias  Glover,  sold  it  (cancelled  the  mortgage)  to  Thomas  Mayhew.  for  1000  acres  in  Martha's 
Vineyard.  Soon  after  this,  it  was  seized  by  virtue  of  execution  granted  to  Richard  Dummer,  against  Mayhew. 
The  land  was  appraised  Mar.  21,  1648-9,  at  £70,  and  was  to  be  measured  out  at  the  charge  of  Mr.  Mayhew.  In  a 
few  instances,  in  the  records,  it  is  called  "  the  Duinmer  Farm." 


862  OLDHAM. 

Mr.  John  Oldham  arrived  at  Plymouth,  in  the  ship  Ann,  in  July,  1623.  That  he  was  a 
man  of  comparative  wealth  and  importance,  may  be  inferred  from  the  fact,  that  in 
the  allotments  in  Plymouth,  in  1624  (the  first  ever  allotted  "in  continuance"),  ten 
acres  were  assigned  to  him,  which  was  a  considerably  larger  lot  than  any  other 
person  received.  The  next  largest,  7  acres,  was  that  of  Mr.  Allerton.  All  the  others, 
including  those  of  Gov.  Bradford,  and  Elder  Brewster,  were  still  less.  It  is  supposed 
that  besides  wife  and  children,  he  had  servants,  which  entitled  him  to  so  large  a  lot. 
We  may  also  infer  his  good  repute  and  respectable  social  rank  from  the  circumstance, 
that  the  Governor  invited  him,  so  soon  after  his  arrival,  to  a  seat  in  his  council. 

Morton  says  [Memorial,  p.  122],  "  Mr.  Oldham  was  a  man  of  parts,  but  high-spirited 
and  extremely  passionate,  which  marred  all  in  right  improvement  of  them." 
The  next  spring,  soon  after  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Lyford  in  Plymouth,  he  and  Oldham 
became  intimately  associated  together,  and  by  their  perverse  conduct,  gave  so  much 
disquietude  to  Plymouth,  that  in  the  summer  of  1624,  Oldham  was  banished,  with 
orders  to  depart  immediately,  and  forbidden  ever  to  return ;  but  his  wife  and  family 
had  "  leave  to  stay  the  winter,  or  till  he  can  make  provision  to  move  them  comfort- 
ably." He  went  to  Nantasket,  probably  accompanied  by  the  worthy  Mr.  Roger 
Conant,  and  not  long  after  was  followed  thither  by  Mr.  Lyford.  The  next  April,  1625, 
Mr.  Oldham  returned  to  Plymouth,  without  leave  (perhaps  for  his  family),  and,  says 
Morton,  "  suffered  his  unruly  passion  to  run  beyond  the  bounds  and  limits  of  all  reason 
and  modesty,"  so  that  he  was  again  expelled  immediately,  with  the  greatest  indignity. 

The  great  offence  of  these  three  gentlemen  and  their  adherents,  was  their  attachment  to 
Episcopacy,  and  a  man  of  Mr.  Oldham's  talents  and  temperament  was  not  likely  to 
maintain  a  controversy  with  the  authorities  of  Plymouth  in  an  inoffensive  tone,  espe- 
cially when  he  coincided  in  sentiment  with  a  majority  of  Plymouth  Company,  in 
England.  These  circumstances  are  to  be  remembered,  when  reading  the  opprobrious 
disparaging  language  of  Bradford,  Morton,  and  others. 

In  1624,  the  Dorchester  adventurers  began  a  settlement  at  Cape  Ann,  and  having  heard 
that  "  some  religious  persons  removed  from  Plymouth  to  Nantasket,  from  dislike  of 
theirrigid  principles,"  in  1625  they  chose  Mr.  Conant  to  manage  their  affairs  of  planting 
and  fishing  (i.  e.,  to  be  Governor),  :<Mr.  Oldham  to  manage  the  trade  with  the  natives," 
and  "  Mr.  Lyford  to  be  minister  of  the  plantation."  After  remaining  at  Nantasket 
more  than  a  year,  Conant,  Lyford,  and  others,  removed  to  Cape  A.nn,  in  the  autumn 
of  1625,  but  Mr.  Oldham  did  not  accept  the  appointment,  choosing  to  "  stay  at  Nantas- 
ket, and  trade  for  himself." 

In  1626,  about  a  year  after  being  driven  a  second  time  from  Plymouth,  Mr.  Oldham 
entered  upon  a  voyage  to  Virginia,  was  wrecked  on  Cape  Cod,  and  his  life  was  in 
extreme  peril.  This  was  supposed  to  have  led  to  a  change  in  his  character;  certainly 
he  gave  such  evidence  of  it,  as  to  regain  the  favor  and  confidence  of  the  Colony  he 
had  so  much  offended.  They  gave  him  "  liberty  to  come  and  converse  with  us  [of 
Plymouth]  at  his  pleasure  ;"  and  in  1628,  they  intrusted  to  him  the  charge  of  Morton, 
the  Merry  Mount  rioter,  to  transport  him  to  England.  Gov.  Bradford,  in  his  letter, 
written  on  this  occasion,  says,  "this  bearer,  Mr.  John  Oldham,  who  can  give  your 
honors  further  information  upon  his  oath,  if  need  so  require,  whom  we  have  sent 
with  the  prisoner,  and  to  attend  to  your  lordships'  pleasure." 

While  Mr.  Oldham  was  in  England,  he  and  John  Dorrell  purchased,  of  John  Gorges, 
younger  brother  and  heir  of  Capt.  Robert  Gorges,  a  tract  of  land,  extending  from 
Charles  River  to  Abousett  [Saugus]  River,  and  from  the  border  of  the  bay  at  the  mouth 
of  Charles  River,  5  miles  into  the  country,  and  from  the  mouth  of  Abousett  River  3 
miles  into  the  country.  This  tract  of  land  seems  to  be  a  part  of  that  which  John 
Gorges  sold  to  Sir  William  Brereton  on  the  10th  of  Jan.,  1629,  and  about  which  Mr. 
Oldham  and  Sir  William  were  both  negotiating  with  the  Massachusetts  Company  in 
the  spring  of  1629.  It  is  not  easy  to  explain  these  apparently  overlapping  titles,  from 
the  records  of  the  Massachusetts  Company  in  their  letter  of  instructions  to  Gov. 
Endicott.  Neither  is  it  apparent  how  the  grant  of  the  Plymouth  Company  to  Capt. 
Robert  Gorges  on  the  22d  of  Dec,  1622,  became  so  invalidated  or  annulled  that  the 
same  Company  could  afterwards  rightfully  grant  the  same  to  the  Massachusetts 
Company.  The  negotiations  in  1629,  between  the  latter  Company  and  Sir  William 
Brereton  and  Mr.  Oldham,  show  that  the  titles  of  these  gentlemen  from  John  Gorges 
had  at  least  some  apparent  validity;  but  how  the  conflicting  claims  were  adjusted  has 
not  been  ascertained.  There  is,  however,  good  reason  to  conjecture,  that  the  greater 
power  of  the  Company,  and  their  legal  astuteness,  had  much  to  do  in  this  adjustment, 
if  such  it  would  be  called,  and  that  the  old  adage  was  verified,  might  makes  right. 


OLDHAM.  863 

Gov.  Cradock.  in  his  first  letter  of  instructions  to  Gov.  Endicott,  dated  Ap.  17,  1629, 
after  mentioning  the  troubles  occasioned  by  Mr.  Oldham's  claim,  says,  "And  because 
we  would  not  omit  to  do  anything  which  might  strengthen  our  right,  we  would  have 
you  (as  soon  as  these  ships,  or  any  of  them,  arrive,  whereby  you  may  have  men  to 
do  it),  send  forty  or  fifty  persons  to  Massachusetts  Bay,  to  inhabit  there;  which  we 
pray  you  not  to  protract,  but  to  do  with  all  speed,  &c,  whereby  the  better  to  strengthen 
our  possession  there  against  all  or  any  that  shall  intrude  upon  us,  which  we  would  not 
have  you  by  any  means  to  give  way  unto." 

The  conclusion  of  this  letter  is  remarkable.  After  stating  fully  the  extent  of  Mr.  Oldham's 
grant,  and  that  William  Blaxton,  clerk,  and  William  Jeffreys,  agent,  were  authorized 
to  put  Mr.  Oldham  in  possession,  he  says,  a  Having  a  sight  of  his  grant,  this  I  found, 
though  I  hold  it  void  in  law,  yet,  his  claim  being  to  this,  you  may,  in  your  discretion, 
prevent  him,  by  causing  some  to  take  possession  of  the  chief  part  thereof'  In  the  summer 
of  1629,  in  accordance  with  this  direction,  Gov.  Endicott  sent  a  few  settlers  to  take 
possession  of  Charlestown,  which  was  nearly  the  central  point  of  Mr.  Oldham's  grant. 
There  is  nothing,  either  in  the  two  general  letters  of  instructions  of  the  Massachusetts 
Bay  Company  to  Governor  Endicott,  or  in  the  records  of  that  Company,  that  exhibits 
Mr.  Oldham  as  anything  less  than  a  frank,  highminded  man,  confident  of  the  justice 
of  his  claim. 

Mr.  Oldham  is  said  to  have  returned  to  America  in  1629;  but  we  find  no  mention  of 
him  in  any  records  until  he  was  admitted  freeman,  May  18,  1631,  the  earliest  date  of 
any  such  admission.  The  precise  date  of  his  settlement  in  Waterlown  has  not  been 
ascertained,  but  it  must  have  been  very  early,  if  not  coeval  with  the  first  planting 
thereof.  It  is  evident  that  a  more  truly  catholic  spirit,  and  more  just  ideas  of  civil  and 
religious  liberty  prevailed  among  the  first  settlers  of  Watertown,  than  in  either  of  the 
other  very  early  plantations  about  the  Bay.  As  evidence  of  this,  we  may  refer  to  Win- 
throp  for  the  accusation  against  Elder  Richard  Browne,  the  treatment  he  received, 
and  the  ground  assumed  by  Mr.  Phillips;  also,  the  arraignment  and  trial  of  Rev. 
George  Phillips,  Elder  Richard  Browne,  and  others,  of  Watertown,  for  expressing  their 
opinions  respecting  representation  and  taxation ;  also,  to  the  arraignment,  a  little  later, 
of  Capt.  William  Jennison,  for  expressing  privately  his  opinion  about  the  course  pursued 
by  the  British  Parliament;  also,  to  that  admirable  letter  of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  the 
founder  of  Watertown,  to  the  ministers  of  Boston,  on  account  of  their  "tyranny  and 
oppression, — fining,  whipping  and  imprisoning  men  for  their  consciences."  These 
things  enable  us  to  understand  why  Mr.  Phillips,  a  man  of  such  fully  acknowledged 
talents,  learning,  and  piety,  is  found  to  have  had  little  or  nothing  to  do  with  the 
illiberal  politico-ecclesiastical  policy  of  that  day,  and  why  the  high-spirited  John  Old- 
ham should  attach  himself  to  the  Watertown  people,  who,  at  the  earliest  opportunity, 
manifested  their  respect  and  confidence  by  conferring  on  him  their  most  important 
political  trusts. 

But  the  respect  entertained  for  Mr.  Oldham,  and  the  confidence  in  his  talents  and 
integrity,  were  not  confined  to  the  Watertown  people.  In  May,  1632,  soon  after  the 
notable  resistance  of  the  Watertown  people  to  taxation  without  representation,  and  before 
the  institution  of  a  body  of  deputies  or  representatives,  it  was  ordered  by  the  General 
Court,  "that  there  should  be  two  of  every  plantation  appointed  to  confer  with  the 
Court  about  raising  of  a  public  stock,"  that  is,  the  levying  taxes  for  public  uses.  These 
appointments  were  made  by  the  Court,  and  the  first  name  on  the  list  of  appointments 
was  that  of  Mr.  Oldham.  He  was  a  member  of  the  first  meeting  of  deputies  of  the 
several  plantations  in  Massachusetts  Bay,  in  May,  1634,  and  he  was  made  chairman 
of  the  first  committee  appointed  by  that  Court,  viz.,  to  draw  a  plot  for  the  enlargement 
of  Boston  at  Mount  Woolliston.  In  Sept.  1634,  the  Court  appointed  him  "  overseer  of 
the  powder  and  shot,  and  all  other  ammunition"  for  the  plantations  of  Watertown  and 
Medford.  At  the  same  Court,  he  was  made  chairman  of  a  committee  (consisting  of 
nine  honored  names),  with  "  power  to  set  out  the  bounds  of  all  towns  not  yet  set  out, 
or  in  difference  betwixt  any  town."  He  was  not  afterwards  elected  deputy,  probably 
on  account  of  his  intended  removal  to  Connecticut.  But  in  May,  1635,  although  not 
deputy,  he  was  one  of  the  committee  appointed  to  consider  and  report  upon  "the  act 
of  Mr.  Endicott,  in  defacing  the  [king's]  colors."  This  subject  was  brought  before 
the  Court  of  Assistants,  "  in  the  name  of  the  rest  of  the  freemen,  upon  complaint  made 
by  Elder  Richard  Browne,  of  Watertown,  who  argued  the  offence  as  a  matter  of  an  high 
nature." 

There  is  reason  to  believe  that  Mr.  Oldham  is  entitled  to  the  honor  of  being  the  pioneer, 
the  projector  of  the  first  plantation  on  the  Connecticut,  or  in  that  state.     Winthrop  says 


864  OLDHAM. — ONGE. — OZMENT. 

[I.,  p.  Ill],  "John  Oldham,  and  three  with  him,  went  overland  to  Connecticut,  to 
trade,"  lodging  at  Indian  towns  all  the  way.  The  date  of  his  departure  is  not  given, 
but  Mr.  Oldham  brought  back  so  favorable  a  report,  that  in  Sept.,  1633,  a  bark  was 
sent  thither  to  trade.  Whether  Mr.  Oldham  went  in  her,  it  is  not  stated,  but  it  is  very 
probable;  for  Winthrop  says,  Nov.  5,  1634,  "the  Rebecka  came  from  Narragansett 
with  five  hundred  bushels  of  corn,  given  to  Mr.  John  Oldham.  The  Indians  had 
promised  him  one  thousand  bushels,  but  their  store  fell  out  less  than  they  expected. 
Canonicus  gave  him  also  an  island  in  Narragansett  Bay,  called  Chippacursett  [?  Pru- 
dence Island,  said  by  Roger  Williams  to  be  "spectacle-wise"],  containing  about  one 
thousand  acres,  six  miles  long  and  two  miles  broad."  [See  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  3d  ser. 
I.,  p.  165.] 

In  May,  1634,  the  people  of  Cambridge  (Newtown),  obtained  permission  of  the  Court 
"to  seek  out  some  convenient  place  ....  to  which  they  may  remove  their  habitations." 
The  next  Sept.  they  asked  leave  to  remove  to  Connecticut  River,  whither  they  were 
probably  induced  to  go  by  the  favorable  report  of  Mr.  Oldham.  This  application  met 
with  strong  opposition  from  the  Assistants,  because  they  proposed  to  remove  beyond 
their  jurisdiction ;  and  such  inducements  were  offered  for  the  relinquishment  of  their 
proposed  removal,  that  Mr.  Hooker  and  his  company  did  not  migrate  to  Connecticut 
until  May,  1636,  when  they  commenced  the  settlement  of  Hartford.  It  is  said  that, 
in  their  first  project  for  a  removal,  it  was  their  intention  to  settle  on  the  beautiful 
meadows  of  Pyquag.  In  the  meantime,  during  their  delay,  Mr.  Oldham  and  a 
company  of  his  fellow-townsmen,  took  possession  of  Pyquag,  and  named  it  Water- 
town,  which  name  it  retained  until  Feb.  21,  1636-7,  when  the  Court  named  it  Wethers- 
field.  It  is  said  that  a  party  of  Watertown  men  went  to  Pyquag  in  1634,  and  remained 
there  with  much  danger  and  suffering  during  the  ensuing  winter.  The  next  spring, 
May  6, 1635,  the  Court  granted  "liberty  to  the  inhabitants  of  Watertown  to  remove  to 
any  place  they  shall  think  meet  to  make  choice  of,  provided  they  shall  continue  under 
this  jurisdiction."  Very  soon,  and  without  strict  regard  to  this  proviso,  they  went  and 
settled  at  Pyquag. 

Although  Winthrop  (July  20,  1636),  noticing  the  death  of  Mr.  Oldham,  calls  him  "a 
member  of  Watertown  congregation,"  there  is  little  doubt  but  that  he  was  one  of  the 
colony  that  went  and  planted  Pyquag.  The  settlement  of  his  estate  is  the  earliest  one 
to  be  found  in  the  Connecticut  Court  Records,  and  his  Inventory  was  presented  to  a 
Court  held  at  Watertown  (Wethersfield)  Sept.  1,  1636.  At  the  same  time,  the  Court 
ordered,  "  that  Thurston  Raynor  [of  Wethersfield],  as  he  hath  hitherto  done,  so  shall 
continue  to  look  to  and  preserve  the  corn  of  Mr.  Oldham,  and  shall  inn  [gatherin]  the 
same  in  a  seasonable  time."  This  shows  that  he  was  a  planter  of  Wethersfield,  and 
probably  went  there  in  1635.  [See  The  Public  Records  of  the  Colony  of  Connecticut, 
Vol.  I.,  Index.]  He  left  his  business  unsettled  in  Massachusetts  Bay;  for  on  the  6th 
Sept.,  1636,  the  Court  "  ordered  that  Mr.  [Gov.]  Haynes,  Mr.  Harlakenden,  and  In- 
crease Nowell,  or  any  two  of  them ,  should  examine  business  concerning  Mr.  Oldham's 
estate  and  debts,  and  Mr.  Hutchinson  and  Mr.  Mayhew  to  gather  up  the  debts  and 
estate,  and  be  accountable  to  the  Court." 

Mr.  Oldham  had  a  family  at  Plymouth  in  1624,  but  no  later  reference  to  it  has  been  dis- 
covered. As,  however,  he  had  a  house  in  Watertown,  near  the  wear,  burnt,  Aug.  14, 
1632,  probably  he  had  a  family  there.  Whether  the  following  named  youths  were  his 
sons,  or  otherwise  akin  to  him,  has  not  been  ascertained.  John  Oldham,  aged  12 
years,  and  Thomas  Oldham,  aged  10  years,  embarked  for  New  England,  May  14, 1635, 
in  the  Elizabeth  and  Ann,  Roger  Cooper,  master.  There  were  families  of  the  name 
of  Oldham  in  Cambridge  for  many  years  afterwards,  of  whom  we  have  obtained  no 
satisfactory  record  or  information.     [See  Saltonstall,  35,  in  Part  II.,  note.]

wife  and  children.  It  is  probable  that  he  d.  soon,  and  that  his  wife  was  wid.  Frances 
Ong.  of  Watertown  [Winthrop,  I.,  p.  42].  Jacob  Ong  was  "an  original  proprietor"  of 
Groton  ;  but  it  does  not  appear,  from  the  History  of  Groton,  that  he  had  any  family 
there.

PALMER. — William  Palmer,  "a  townsman,  inhabiting"  Wat.,  1636-7,  moved  to 
Newbury,  about  1637,  thence  to  Piscataqua  (Portsmouth),  and  afterwards  to  Hampton. 
He  was  one  of  the  petitioners.  Sept.,  1638,  for  liberty  to  begin  a  plantation  at  Winna- 
cunnet  (Hampton).  He  d.,  leaving  three  sons,  Edward,  Christopher,  and  Stephen  ;

Thomas  Rogers,  who  d.  in  Wat.,  Nov.  12,  1638.  His  sons,  above  named,  were  by  a 
former  wife,  and  are  not  mentioned  in  the  Will  of  his  wid.  Grace  ;  and  Martha,  wife 
of  Capt.  John  Sherman,  must  have  been  her  step-daughter.  After  his  decease,  she 
returned  to  Watertown,  and  m.  (3d),  Roger  Porter.  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Daniel  Smith

Sherman,  of  Watertown,  land  in  Great  Ormsby.  Co.  Norfolk,  England.  Probably  he 
came  from  that  place.  There  was  a  William  Palmer,  who  arrived  at  Plymouth,  in

descendants  of  Richard  Park,  and  Watertown  families.  For  this  reason,  and  from 
having  discovered  some  errors,  and  many  deficiencies,  in  what  has  been  printed  on 
pp.  384,  &c,  we  insert  the  following  corrected  record.  EST  For  more  full  and  precise 
information,  see  Jackson's  History  of  Newton,  to  which  we  are  chiefly  indebted  for 
our  materials. 

The  farm  of  Richard  Park,  Sen.,  was  contiguous  to  the  small  parcel  of  land,  belonging 
to  Watertown,  on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River;  and  it  is  probable,  that  his  resi- 
dence was,  at  an  early  date,  within  the  bounds  of  Watertown.  Oct.  19,  1652,  he  was 
debtor  to  the  ministry  of  Watertown,  £2;  and  on  the  22d  Aug.,  1659,  the  selectman 
ordered  that  Richard  Parks  and  wife,  be  not  allowed  abiding  in  the  town  [town 
record].  May,  1664,  he  sold  to  James  Keebe,  a  horse,  valued  at  £6,  for  which  he 
was  to  build  a  frame  house.  Ap.  3,  1666,  Hugh  Mason,  Thomas  Wisvvall,  and  Ed- 
ward Jackson,  were  appointed  to  set  off  the  portion  of  Sarah,  wid.  of  Richard  Park, 
his  second  wife,  and  not  the  mother  of  his  children.  Love  Brewster,  of  Dux.,  the 
eldest  of  the  surviving  sons  of  Elder  William  Brewster,  first  of  Plymouth,  after-

Park.  After  his  decease,  she  returned  to  Duxbury.  Dec.  4,  1671,  she  brought  a  suit 
against  Thomas  Park,  and  Sept.  26,  1678,  she,  then  of  Duxbury,  for  «£45  15s.,  sold 
Thomas  Park  her  life-estate  in  the  estate  of  Richard  Park. 

[1.]  Thomas  Park  was  a  witness  in  Court,  June,  1679,  then  aged  50,  showing  that  he 
was  born  1629.  He  d.  Aug.  11,  1690,  aged  about  62.  His  estate  was  divided  Oct.  3,

p.  402.  PENDLETON. — Mr.  Bryan  Pendleton  was  the  first  of  the  petitioners  for  a 
grant  of  Sudbury.  In  May,  1640,  he  was  desired  by  the  Court,  "  to  train  the  company 
at  Sudbury."  After  this,  he  returned  and  resided  some  years  in  Watertown.  In  1661, 
the  selectmen  of  Portsmouth  granted  Capt.  Pendleton,  liberty  "  to  up  his  windmill 
upon  the  Fort-point,  towards  the  beach,  because  the  mill  is  of  such  use  to  the 
public."  Major  Pendleton  "possessed  a  large  estate,"  probably  much  larger  than  any 
other  in  Portsmouth.  [See  Annals  of  Portsmouth,  p.  63.]  His  Will,  dated  Ports- 
mouth, Aug.  9,  1677,  proved  Ap.  5,  1681,  mentions  wife  Eleanor,  son  James;  grand- 
child, James  Pendleton,  Jr.,  and  grandchild,  Pendleton  Fletcher;  granddaughters, 
Mary  and  Hannah  Pendleton,  "  which  my  son  had  by  his  former  wife;"  gr.  son  Brian 
Pendleton.  Besides  house,  household  goods,  and  land  in  Portsmouth,  he  possessed 
housing  and  land  at  Cape  Porpus ;  640  acres  east  side  of  Westbrook,  near  Saco 
Falls;  100  A.  upland,  and  10  A.  meadow,  bought  of  John  Bush,  in  the  township  of 
Cape  Porpus,  adjoining  Prince's  Rock;  "  my  several  islands  in  or  near  Cape  Porpus; 
my  farm  at  Winter  Harbor;"  three  plantations  or  lots  in  Wells,  and  "land  on  the 
great  island  Piscataqua."  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  III.,  p.  122.]  James  Pendleton,  m.  (2d)

covenant,  and  composed  the  First  Church  of  Portsmouth,  of  which  Rev.  Joshua

PHILBRICK.— Philbrick,  succeeds  Phillips. 


PHILLIPS. — Henry  Phillips  went  from  Wat.  to  Dedham  about  1636,  as  a  candidate 
for  the  office  of  teacher  in  the  Church.  He  m.  Anne,  a  daughter  of  John  Dwight, 
who  also  went  from  Wat.  to  Dedham.  He  returned  to  England  in  1642  [Winthrop, 
II.,  p.  389].  What  affinity  there  was,  if  any,  between  Rev.  George  Phillips,  this 
Henry  Phillips,  and  Hannah  Phillips  ';of  Watertown,"  who  m.,  Sept.  1,  1638,  Joseph 
Morse,  first  of  Dedham,  afterwards  of  Medfield,  has  not  been  ascertained.  Henry 
Phillips  was  ensign,  of  Dedham,  in  1648  [Colon.  Rec.  II.,  p.  258].  Hannah,  wid.  of 
Joseph  Morse,  m.,  in  1658,  Thomas  Boyden,  an  early  settler  of  Watertown,  then  said 
to  be  of  Medfield.  In  her  Will,  dated  1676,  she  mentions  her  daughters  Elizabeth 
and  Sarah  Lawrence  [see  23.  p.  821,  and  32,  p.  822]. 


Rev.  GEORGE  PHILLIPS,  the  first  minister  of  Watertown,  was  ason  of  Christopher  Phillips, 
"  mediocris  fortunay'  of  Rainham,  St.  Martin,  Co.  Norfolk.  He  entered  Gonville  and 
Caius  Coll.,  Camb.,  Ap.  20,  1610,  then  aged  17  years;  grad.  B.  A.  1613,  and  M.  A. 
1617.  He  gave  earty  indications  of  deep  piety,  uncommon  talents,  and  love  of  learn- 
ing, and  at  the  University  distinguished  himself  by  his  remarkable  progress  in  learn- 
ing, especially  in  theological  studies,  for  which  he  manifested  an  early  partiality.  He 
was  settled  in  the  ministry  at  Boxford,*  Co.  Suffolk  ;  but  his  strong  attachment  to  the 
principles  of  the  old  nonconformists  brought  him  into  difficulty  with  some  of  his 
hearers,  and  as  the  storm  of  persecution  grew  more  dark  and  threatening,  he  resolved 
to  take  his  lot  with  the  Puritans',  who  were  about  to  depart  for  the  new  world.  On 
the  12th  of  April,  1630,  he,  with  his  wife  and  two  children,  embarked  for  America  in 
the  Arbella,  as  fellow-passenger  with  Governor  Winthrop,  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  and 
other  assistants  of  the  Massachusetts  Company,  and  arrived  at  Salem  June  12,  where 
his  wife  died  very  soon,  and  was  buried  by  the  side  of  Lady  Arbella  Johnson.  Mr. 
Phillips  was  adm.  freeman  May  18,  1631,  the  earliest  date  of  any  such  admission. 
He  continued  to  be  the  minister  of  Watertown  Church  14  years,  greatly  respected  and 
beloved,  and  he  died  the  1st,  and  was  buried  the  2d  of  July,  1644,  aged  about  51 
years.  Winthrop  [II.,  p.  171],  says,  he  was  "a  godly  man,  specially  gifted,  and  very 
peaceful  in  his  place,  much  lamented  of  his  own  people  and  others."

PHILLIPS.  873 

Mr.  Phillips  was  distinguished  for  his  learning  in  the  original  languages  of  the  Scriptures, 
and  in  theological  doctrines.  Mather  says  his  hearers  counted  him  "  the  irrefragable 
Doctor;"  and  Johnson  says  he  was  "mighty  in  the  Scriptures,  and  very  diligent  to 
search  out  the  mind  of  Christ  therein  contained."  He  was  independent  and  con- 
scientious in  forming  and  maintaining  his  opinions.  He  had  repeated  theological  con- 
troversies, in  which  he  was  characterized  by  candor  and  Christian  urbanity.  It  is 
evident,  from  the  brief  records  of  his  life,  that  he  brought  with  him  less  of  the 
ecclesiastical  leaven  of  the  old  world  than  the  rest  of  his  brethren,  and  that  he  and 
his  people,  especially  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall  and  Mr.  Richard  Browne,  entertained  more 
enlightened  views  of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  or  had  a  more  just  appreciation  of  it, 
than  then  belonged  to  other  planters  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  He  was  the  earliest  ad- 
vocate of  the  Congregational  order  and  discipline,  in  which  he  was,  says  Hubbard, 
deeply  versed,  and  very  skilful.  His  views  were,  for  a  time,  regarded  as  novel,  sus- 
picious, and  extreme;  and  he,  with  his  ruling  elder,  Mr.  Richard  Browne,  stood  al- 
most unaided  and  alone,  until  the  arrival  of  Mr.  John  Cotton,  in  firmly  maintaining 
what  was,  and  still  is,  the  Congregationalism  of  New  England. 

Mr.  Phillips  and  Mr.  Richard  Browne  are  entitled  to  another  honor,  much  more  dis- 
tinguished than  has  generally  been  conceded  to  them.  When  the  Governor  and 
Assistants  passed  an  order  to  tax  the  people,  without  their  consent,  they  called  together 
the  people  of  Watertown,  and  "delivered  their  opinions,"  that  it  was  dangerous  to 
submit  to  it.  For  this  they  were  arraigned  before  the  Governor,  and  there  was"  much 
debate"  on  the  subject.  The  result  seems  to  discredit  the  statement  of  Winthrop,  that 
"  they  confessed  they  were  in  error;"  for  very  soon  afterwards,  before  another  attempt 
was  made  to  levy  a  tax,  the  Court  ordered  (May  9, 1632),  that  "two  of  every  plantation 
be  appointed  to  confer  with  the  Court,  about  raising  of  a  public  stock,"  and  this  soon  led 
to  the  institution  of  a  representative  body  in  the  government  of  the  Colony.  It  is  not 
now  easy  to  estimate  the  extent  and  importance  of  the  influence  of  Mr.  Phillips  in 
giving  form  and  character  to  the  civil  and  ecclesiastical  institutions  of  New  England 
[See  VVinthrop's  Journal,  in  many  places  during  Mr.  Phillips's  time;  Hubbard's  His- 
tory, p.  186;  Mather's  Magnalia,  Book  III.,  Part  II.,  Chap.  4;  also,  Richard  Browne,  p. 
117,  and  John  Oldham,  p.  863  :  Francis'  History,  pp.  13-38.] 

His  nuncupative  Will  was  witnessed  July  5th,  and  proved  Sept.  6,  1644,  by  Dr.  Simon 
Eire  and  Apphia  Freeman.  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  III.,  p.  78].  His  Inventory,  taken  July

The  locality  of  Mr.  Phillips's  first  residence  in  Watertown  has  not  been  clearly  ascer- 
tained. It  is  conjectured  that  he  first  settled  on  the  Cambridge  road,  near  the 
Camb.  line,  by  the  side  of  Sir.  R.  Saltonstall,  and  within  the  present  limits  of 
Cambridge,  and  that  he  not  long  afterwards  moved  to  the  vicinity  of  the  old  grave- 
yard. "There  is  a  tradition,"  says  Dr.  Francis,  "that  he  lived  in  the  house  now 
(1830),  occupied  by  Mr.  Daniel  Sawin,  opposite  the  old  burying-ground."  The 
homestall  of  Samuel  Saltonstall  (bounded  S.  E.  by  Charles  River,  and  separated  from 
the  then  boundary-line  of  Cambridge  only  by  the  intervening  13  A.  homestall  of 
Thomas  Brigham)  was  bounded  N.  \V.  by  land  of  George  Phillips.  Samuel  was  the 
only  son  of  Sir  R.  Saltonstall,  who  settled  permanently  in  Watertown,  and  it  is  pro- 
bable that  his  homestall  was  the  one  selected  by  his  fath»r.  In  the  list  of  possessions 
in  Watertown,  made  out  in  compliance  of  an  order  passed  in  1642,  for  the  purpose  of 
assessments,  the  lands  of  Mr.  Phillips  are  not  included,  probably  because  they  were 
exempt  from  taxation.     The  records  show  that  he  had  liberal  grants  of  land. 

The  first  wife  of  Mr.  Phillips,  as  already  stated,  died  at  Salem  very  soon  after  landing. 
She  was  a  daughter  of  Richard  Scrgent,  and  probably  a  half-sister  of  John  Hayward,  an 
early  settler  of  Watertown.  They  were  probably  children  of  the  same  mother,  but  of 
different  fathers.  Cotton  Mather  says  she  was  "  an  only  child,"  that  is,  as  we  sup- 
pose, of  her  father.     The  grounds  for  this  opinion  are  the  following: 

Nov.  12,  1644  (about  4  months  after  the  d.  of  Mr.  Phillips),  "  The  General  Court  de- 
clared that  they  think  it  just  and  meet  that  Mrs.  Phillips  make  over  so  much  estate  as 
shall  secure  £100  to  Samuel  and  Elizabeth  Phillips,  grandchildren  of  Richard  Sergent,  or 
otherwise  give  bond  with  sureties  [to]  the  consent  and  satisfaction  of  Capt.  Cooke, 
Mr.  Sparhawk,  and  John  Bridge,  who  are  intrusted  in  the  business  by  the  Court :  this 
security  to  be  given  in  a  month."  In  the  margin  of  the  original  record,  they  are  called 
Mrs.  Phillips's  "son  and  daughter-in-law."     The  next  year  (1645),  Dea.  Ephraim 


amounted"  to  £553  2s.  9d.    One  item  was  "the      J    ^yfi^r    -^sW^ jj 


874  PHILLIPS. 

Child  and  John  Hayward  (the  supposed  uncle  of  Samuel  and  Elizabeth  Phillips), 
petitioned  the  Court  that  Samuel  Phillips,  son  of  Rev.  George  Phillips,  deceased,  may- 
have  maintenance  assigned  him  out  of  his  father's  estate.  This  was  asked  for  at  this 
time  in  behalf  of  Samuel,  because  he  was  commencing  a  collegiate  education,  and 
not  for  his  sister  Elizabeth,  because  then  probably  not  more  than  16  or  18  years  of  age. 

In  the  grants  of  the  Beaver  Brook  plowlands,  ordered  in  Sept.  1636,  40  acres  were  as- 
signed to  Mr.  Phillips,  bounded  E.  by  land  of  Edward  How;  S.  by  footway  through 
the  plain  to  Beaver  Brook  ;  N.  by  highway  to  Sudbury ;  W.  by  land  of  Edward  Gar- 
field. Ap.  11,  1649,  Samuel  Phillips,  student  of  Harvard  College,  for  £16  105.,  sold 
to  Edward  Garfield  the  western  half  of  his  lot.  May  17,  1651,  Elizabeth  Phillips, 
widow  and  sole  executrix  of  George  Phillips,  deceased,  debtor  to  Job  Bishop,  of  Ips- 
wich, New  England,  for  a  certain  sum  or  sums  of  money  due  to  Elizabeth,  Bishop,  wife 
of  said  Job  Bishop,  and  daughter  of  said  George  Phillips,  deceased,  conveyed  to  Job  Bishop 
and  wife  Elizabeth  the  eastern  half  of  said  40  A.  lot  of  Beaver  Brook  plowland,  which 
land  Bishop  and  wife  soon  afterwards  sold  to  Edward  Garfield. 

John  Hayward,  by  his  Will,  dated  July  31,  1672,  then  aged  79  [Mid.  Prob.  Rec.  iii.,  p. 
275] ,  divided  his  estate  between  his  wife  Mary  and  Samuel  Phillips,  of  Rowley,  whom 
he  appointed  joint  executors.  [It  is  supposed  that  Elizabeth  (Phillips)  Bishop  died 
before  1657,  s.  p.,  and  therefore  is  not  referred  to  in  this  Will.] 

Rev.  Samuel  Phillips,  of  Rowley,  in  his  Will,  mentions  property  bequeathed  to  him  by 
"  my  uncle  Hayward." 

Widow  Mary  Hayward,  by  her  Will  [Suff.  Prob.  vi.,  p.  456],  bequeaths  her  estate  to 
persons  who  had  only  small  legacies  from  her  husband,  John  Hayward,  and  who 
were  her  children  by  another  husband  ;  but  she  does  not  mention  any  of  the  Phillips 
family,  which  renders  it  very  improbable  that  there  was  any  consanguinity  between 
her  and  that  family.*     [See  Hayward,  p.  793.] 

Mr.  Phillips  m.  (2d),  ELIZABETH .    Nothing  has  been  ascertained  respecting  her 

parentage  or  family,  but  it  is  probable  that  she  was  the  widow  of  Capt.  Robert  Wel- 
den.  [See  Welden,  p.  626;  also,  Drake's  Hist,  of  Boston,  p.  118.]  She  d.  in  Wat. 
June  27,  1681.  By  her  Will,  dated  Oct.  20, 1674,  wit.  by  Samuel  Stearns  and  Nathaniel 
Holland,  she  gives  to  "son  Samuel  all  Latin,  Greek,  and  Hebrew  books  now  in  the 
house;"  to  Job  Bishop,  1  shilling  [his  wife,  her  step-dr,  being  d.] ;  to  James  Barnard, 
i:  who  married  my  daughter  Abial"  (Abigail),  1  shilling  [she  had  d.  1672,  s.  p.];  to 
sons  Zerobabel,  Jonathan,  and  Theophilus,  the  "rest  of  my  estate." 

Sept.  30,  1681,  Samuel  Phillips,  of  Rowley  (his  mother-in-law  being  deceased)  granted 
a  power  of  att'y  to  William  Bond  and  Jonathan  Pickard  to  act  for  him.  Oct.  4,  1681, 
admin,  on  estate  of  George  Phillips  was  granted  to  Samuel  Phillips,  of  Rowley,  and 
Jonathan  Phillips,  of  Watertown.  Dec.  20,  1681,  William  Bond,  Joseph  Tainter, 
and  Simon  Stone,  Sen.,  were  appointed  by  the  Court  to  divide  Mr.  Phillips's  estate. 
They  reported  Ap.  3,  1682,  and  the  next  day,  Ap.  4,  Capt.  John  Sherman,  William 
Bond,  and  Simon  Stone,  were  appointed  to  divide  the  estate  of  "  Mistress  Phillips" 
among  her  children.    They  reported  that  nothing  could  be  done.

has  been  said  that  the  expense  of  his  education  was  assumed  by  the  town,  as  a 
token  of  respect  for  his  father.  This,  however,  may  be  questioned;  for,  in  the 
first  place,  his  famer  left  a  comparatively  good  estate  for  that  period;  and  in  the 
next  place,  in  1645.  before  he  entered  college,  his  uncle,  John  Hayward,  and 
Dea.  Ephraim  Child,  petitioned  the  Court  that  he  might  have  a  maintenance  as-

wife,  and  as  Job  Bishop  had  no  children  born  (no  birth  recorded),  before  June 
1657,  it  is  presumed  that  his  wife,  Elizabeth  (Phillips)  d.  early,  s.  p..  and

After  the  end  of  the  third  year,  he  began  to  mend,  but  his  memory  was 
gone.  He,  however,  began  to  be  conscious  of  his  condition,  and  the  thought 
of  leading  a  useless  life  he  could  not  endure.  Usefulness  was  his  theme  : 
'What  can  I  do?'     His  old  profession  seemed  most   desirable,  and  he

(V.)  Hon.  SAMUEL  PHILLIPS,  of  Andover,  grad.  Harv.  Coll.  1734.  After 
teaching  a  grammar  school  some  time,  he  engaged  in  mercantile  business  in  the 
North  Parish  of  Andover.  In  the  winter  of  1775-6,  he  was  engaged  in  the 
manufacture  of  gunpowder,  and  built  a  mill  at  great  expense,  which  was  blown 
up  in  1778,  and  three  persons  killed.  In  1788,  he  built  a  paper-mill,  which  was 
carried  on  by  Phillips  arid  Houghton.  He  was  often  the  Representative  of  Andover, 
and  member  of  the  Executive  Council  before  the  Revolution,  and  in  the  Revo- 
lution was  a  staunch  whig;  was  many  years  a  civil  magistrate,  discharging  the 
duties  thereof  with  the  most  exemplary  fidelity.  Such  were  the  sternness  and 
precision  of  his  manners,  always  frowning  on  vice  and  disorder,  that  they  did  not 
contribute  to  his  popularity.  Early  habits  of  exactness  and  economy  in  business 
enabled  him  to  accumulate  a  large  estate,  much  of  which  he  appropriated  to  the 
public  good.  In  1778,  Phillips  Academy,  in  Andover,  was  founded  by  him  and 
his  brother,  Hon.  John  Phillips,  of  Exeter,  by  the  gift  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
several  valuable  tracts  of  land,  and  £1614  in  money.  In  the  constitution  of  the 
Academy,  the  founders  declare  that  "  the  first  and  principal  object  of  their  in- 
stitution is  the  promotion  of  true  piety  and  virtue."

of  his  father,  and  father  of  Rev.  Edward  Barnard,  of  Haverhill,  grad.  Harv.  Coll. 
1736,  d.  1774.  The  property  in  North  Andover  now  owned  and  occupied  by  the 
Phillips  family,  came  by  the  Barnard  family.]  "  Her  letters  are  very  interesting, 
and  show  her  to  have  been  a  woman  of  great  piety,  and  strong  religious  views." 
An  obituary  notice  of  her  in  the  Sentinel,  in  Nov.  1789,  closes  thus: 

"Think  what  the  mother,  Christian,  friend,  should  be, 
You've  then  her  character,  for  such  was  she."

and  on  the  25th  of  May,  1747,  he  (then  a  ruling  elder)  received  an  invitation  to 
become  the  pastor  of  the  church  in  Exeter.  A  correspondent  says,  "I  have  the 
almanacks  of  Rev.  J.  Phillips,  from  1739  to  1746  inclusive,  but  it  is  not  known 
that  he  ever  accepted  a  pastoral  charge,  or  was  ordained."  He  engaged  in  mer-

Peace,  and  <:  was  authorized  to  be,  in  some  singular  cases,  one  of  the  Judges  of 
the  Superior  Court."  He  was  a  trustee  of  Dart.  Coll.,  1773  to  1793,  and  founded 
and  endowed  in  that  College,  the  Phillips  Professorship  of  Theology.  He  aided 
his  brother  in  founding  Phillips  Academy  in  Andover,  and  made  it  a  bequest 
(one  third  of  his  estate),  amounting  to  twenty  thousand  dollars.  He  was  the

(I.)  WILLIAM  WHITE,  b.  1610  ;  landed  at  Ipswich,  1635.  Tradition  says,  that 
he  came  from  Co.  Norfolk.  England ;  but  this  has  not  been  ascertained.  "  In 
1635,  the  year  he  landed,  the  General  Court  ordered  the  bounds  of  Ipswich  and 
Quascacunquen  (now  Newbury),  to  be  laid  out,  when  some  of  the  chief  [people] 
of  Ipswich,  desired  leave  to  remove  to  Quascacunquen,  to  begin  a  settlement 
which  was  granted  them.  Among  those  who  moved  to  Newbury,  were  Rev. 
Thomas  Parker,  Nicholas  Noyes,  Henry  Sewall,  William  White,  William  Moody, 
and  Richard  Kent."  In  1640,  William  White  removed  to  Haverhill,  of  which  he 
was  one  of  the  first  settlers,  and  was  one  of  the  grantees  of  the  Indian  deed,  of 
Haverhill,  dated  Nov.  15,  1642;  which  instrument  was,  it  is  said,  both  written 
and  witnessed  by  him.  The  Haverhill  town  records,  show  that  he  held  a  very 
respectable  social  position  among  the  early  settlers.  His  first  wife,  MARY,  the 
mother  of  his  only  child,  d.  Sept.  22,  1681.  He  m.  (2d),  Sept.  21,  1682,  wid.

PHILLIPS  [43 J],  APPENDIX  III.— JEWITT. 

(IV.)  Rev.  DAVID  JEWITT,*  of  Rowley,  Mass.,  b.  June  10,  1714,  grad.  Harv. 
Coll.  1736,  ordained  pastor  of  the  Second  Church  in  New  London  (now  Mont- 
ville),  Conn.,  Oct.  3,  1739;  d.  June  6,  1783,  aged  69.  Before  going  to  New  London, 
he  was  employed  as  a  missionary  to  the  Mohegans,  ami  acquired  the  favor  of  the 
sachem  and  tribe.  "No  minister  in  the  country  stood  higher  among  his  own 
flock,  or  in  the  esteem  of  his  brethren,  than  Mr.  Jewitt.  He  was  a  man  of  dignified 
deportment,  rigorous  in  discipline,  but  very  fervent  in  his  preaching,  and  uni- 
formly assiduous  in  his  calling."  [Caulkins'  History  of  New  London,  p.  434  ] 
He  was  a  chaplain  in  the  army  in  1756,  often  afterwards  in  the  French  War.  and  in 
the  Revolution.     He  m.  PATIENCE  PHILLIPS  [43$].     Shed   in  1773, 'and  he 

m.  (2d),  MARY ,  s.  p.    In  the  church  record,  he  says:  "I  was  recommended 

to  this  church  from  the  Church  of  Christ,  in  Rowley,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Jewitt,  Pastor.'*' 
"  My  wife,  Patience,  was  recommended  from  the  church  in  Salem,  Mr.  Fisk, 
Pastor."  The  tradition  is,  that  he  became  engaged  to  Miss  Phillips  while  he  was 
a  student  of  theology  ;  that  he  was  very  ill.  and  she,  being  a  member  of  the 
same  family,  nursed  him  so  kindly  and  assiduously  as  to  produce  a  life-long  and 
loving  attachment  between  them.  The  tradition  of  the  origin  of  this  attachment 
has  been  preserved  in  his  parish,  to  account  for  his  marrying  a  lady  born  with 
only  one  hand,  and  about  ten  years  older  than  himself.  His  Will,  dated  a  short 
time  before  his  decease,  mentions  his  wife  Mary;  son  David  Hibbert  Jewitt,  and 
my  gr.  chil.,  David,  Charles,  Elizabeth,  and  Sarah  Jewitt;  "  my  dear  son-in-law, 
Elisha  Porter,  Esq.,  of  Hadley,"  and  my  gr.  chil.,  Samuel  and  Sarah  Porter.  This

to  a  degree  :  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  E.  A.  Holyoke,  and  settled  in  New  London,

b.  Ap.  23,  1749,  dr.  of  Major  Charles  and  Ann  (Latimer)  Bulkley,  of  Colchester,

minister  of  New  London,  afterwards  of  Wethersfield.  Dr.  Jewitt  served  as  a 
surgeon  in  the  Am.  Army  during  most  of  the  Revolutionary  War.  He  d.  in  his

2.  David,  b.  June  17,  1772,  i(a  man  of  uncommon  powers  of  body  and  mind," 
and  imbued  with  the  romantic,  adventurous  disposition  of  a  knight-errant.  He 
read  law  with  Gov.  Griswold,  but  early  entered  the  U  S.  Navy,  and  soon  at- 
tained the  rank  of  Captain.  In  the  French  War,  of  1798,  he  commanded  the 
ship  Trumbull,  of  18  or  20  guns,  and  sent  home  several  prizes.  He  became 
disgusted  with  what  he  considered  the  maltreatment  of  the  Government,  and, 
after  the  reduction  of  the  American  Navy,  in  1801,  he  enlisted  in  the  service  of 
the  Buenos  Ayrean  Government,  and  served  in  it  until  its  independence  was 
established.  After  this,  he  enlisted  in  the  service  of  Don  Pedro,  Emperor  of 
Brazil,  and  was,  it  is  said,  the  first  to  raise  for  him  the  flag  of  independence. 
He  was  second  in  command  when  Lord  Cochrane  was  Admiral  of  the  Brazilian

p.  404.  PHILBRICK. — The  homestall  or  residence  of  Thomas  Philbrick,  in  Wat., 
was  at  the  N.  W.  corner  of  what  are  now  called  Belmont  and  Lexington  Streets.  It  has 
not  been  ascertained  when  he  arrived  in  the  country;  but  it  is  probable  that  he  was  of 
that  company  that  came  over  in  1630.  It  is  probable  also  that  most,  if  not  all,  of  his 
children  were  born  in  England.  Thomas,  supposed  to  be  his  second  son,  was  b.  in 
1624,  and  his  dr.  Elizabeth  was  married  before  1643.  His  Will,  dated  1663,  men- 
tions the  following  five  children.     [See  Geneal.  Reg.  vii.,  p.  358.] 

1.  James,  a  mariner,  m.  Ann . 

2.  Thomas,  b.  1624  (set.  42,  in   1666);  m.,  Sept.  22,  1669,  Hannah,  wid.  of  John 
White,   [See  [3]  p.  886.]     Perhaps   this   m.   was  that   of  his   son.     Edward 

*  John  Morton,  Esq.,  of  New  York,  the  father  of  Mrs.  Quincy,  married  Sophia  Maria  Kemper,  whose  father 
emigrated  from  the  Rhine,  and  settled  in  New  York.  Her  brother,  Col.  Kemper,  of  the  Revolutionary  Army,  who 
died  a  few  years  ago,  in  Elizabethtown,  New  Jersey,  was  father  of  Rev.  Jackson  Kemper,  for  many  years  an 
assistant  of  the  venerable  Bishop  White,  of  Philadelphia,  now  Bishop  of  Missouri.  Susan  Kemper,  a  sisler  of 
Mrs.  Morton,  and  of  Col.  Kemper,  m.  Dr.  David  Jackson,  of  Philadelphia,  and  was  the  mother  of  Dr.  Samuel 
Jackson,  the  distinguished  professor  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.

lard,  of  Killingby,  Conn. 


p.  405.  PHILPOT. — It  is  probable  that  there  was  only  one  person  of  the  name  of 
Philpot  in  Watertown,  viz.,  Thomas,  and  that  John  is  a  misnomer.  Thomas  Philpot,  pro- 
prietor of  a  homestall  in  1642,  became  insane  as  early  as  1647,  and  was  imprisoned, 
the  usual  treatment  of  that  malady  at  that  time.     He  was  living  as  late  as  1678. 

p.  406.  PIERSON. — The  residence  of  Bartholomew  Pierson,  in  Watertown,  which  he 
purchased  of  John  Stowers,  in  1644,  was  on  the  N.  side  of  Belmont  Street,  between 
Thomas  Philbrick  on  the  east,  and  Anthony  Pierce  on  the  west.  Oct.  7,  1655,  he 
sold  his  house,  barn,  and  about  6  acres,  to  Anthony  Pierce,  for  £23;  bounded  W.  by 
(?)  John  Pierce.  The  land  he  sold  to  George  Bullard,  for  £12  (8  acres,  not  12),  was 
bounded  N.  by  John  Wincol ;  E.  by  Isaac  Stearns;  W.  by  Anthony  Pierce;  S.  by 
highway.  After  he  moved  to  Woburn,  he  had  a  dr.  Sarah,  b.  May  7,  1653.  It  was 
probably  his  dr.  Mary  (birth  not  recorded),  who  m.,  in  Woburn,  Oct.  28,  1673,  John 
Richardson.  His  son  Bartholomew,  d.  Feb.  23,  1661.  He  (f.)  d.  in  Woburn,  Mar. 
12,  1687,  and  his  wid.  Ursula,  d.  May  28,  1694. 

PORTER. — Roger  Porter  was  selectman  of  Wat.,  1648.  After  he  came  to  W^.ler- 
town,  he  m.  Grace,  wid.  of  William  Palmer,  first  of  Watertown,  afterwards  of  New- 
bury, of  Piscataqua  (Portsmouth),  and  Hampton.  [See  Palmer,  p.  865.]  It  has  not 
been  ascertained  what  became  of  his  four  daughters,  whom  he  brought  with  him 
from  England. 

.407.  POTTER. — Ap.  15,  1635,  William  Potter,  aged  25,  embarked  for  New  En- 
gland, in  the  Increase,  Robert  Lea,  master.  July  1,  1635,  William  Potter,  husband- 
man, aged  27.  Frances  Potter,  uxor,  aged  26,  and  Joseph  Potter,  aged  20  months, 
embarked  for  New  England,  in  the  Abigail,  &c.  Except  for  the  difference  of  age,  it 
might  be  supposed  that  the  two  were  identical,  as  cases  occurred,  where  names  were 
entered  for  one  vessel,  and  the  persons  came  in  another.  If  there  were  two  persons 
of  that  name,  it  is  not  known  which  of  them  settled  in  Watertown,  but  probably  the 
one  aged  25.  June  2,  1646  (the  year  after  Wm.  Potter  sold  his  land  in  Wat.),  Wil- 
liam Potter,  m.,  in  Rox.,  Judith  Greaves.  [See  Drake's  Hist,  of  Boston,  p.  248.]  Was 
it  his  wid.  Judith  Potter,  who  m.  Samuel  Finch,  in  Rox  ,  Dec.  13,  1654?  William 
Potter  was  one  of  the  signers  of  the  original  agreement  entered  into  by  the  first  settlers 
of  New  Haven.   [See  Hinman's  Catalogue,  2d  ed.,  p.  76.] 

PRATT. — For  adra.  freeman,  read,  took  the  oath  of  fidelity.  It  is  probable  that 
Thomas  Pratt  came  from  London.     [See  Boylston,  p.  702.] 


PRENTICE. — Ruth   Worthylake,  wife  of   Benjamin    Prentice,  came    from   New 
London  to  Wat.,  in  Aug.,  1763.     Prentice  occupied  the  Learned  Tavern  in  1766-70. 


PRESCOTT.— John  Prescott  took  the  oath  of  fidelity  in  1652,  and  was  adm.  free- 
man, May  19,  1669.  He  d.  1683.  [For  much  information  respecting,  his  life,  cha- 
racter, parentage,  family,  and  very  numerous  and  highly  respected  descendants,  see 
Geneal  Reg.  vi.,  274;  Willard's  History  of  Lancaster,  in  Worcester  Mag.  vol.  II.,  and 
his  Centennial  Address  in  Lancaster,  June  15,  1853;  Butler,  pp.  285,  428,  and  476; 
Shattuck,  p.  381;  also  see  p.  828.]  He  owned  6  lots  of  land  in  Watertown,  amounting 
to  126  acres. 

p.  407.  PRICE. — It  will  be  seen,  p.  408,  that  a  query  was  entertained  as  to  the  identity 
of  families  of  the  name  of  Price  and  Priest.     Several  circumstances  had  formerly  ren- 


^^Q^£lkoArii    y^iiup 


PRICE. — PRINCE. — PROUT. — QUINER. — RAINSBOROUGH.  911 

dered  this  very  probable,  and  it  is  now  satisfactorily  ascertained  that  they  were 
identical.  In  the  Town  Kecord,  Nov.  28,  1670,  the  name  of  Win.  Price,  is  written 
Priest.  Oct.  23,  1697,  Mary,  relict  of  William  Price,  for  £90,  sold  to  Samuel  Liver- 
more,  a  house  and  14  acres,  bounded  E.  and  N.  by  Camb.  line  ;  W.  by  Philpot's  lot, 
and  Henry  Godden ;  S.  by  William  Shattuck.  and  town  land  common.  To  this  deed 
is  attached  the  following  memorandum.  IW  "  Whereas,  ye  grantor's  name  in  this 
deed  is  called  Priest,  which  name  she  is  commonly  known  by,  yet  it  is  here  to  be 
understood  that  her  ri>jht  name  is  Price."  William  Price  (her  son),  signed  a  quitclaim 
to  this  property,  to  Samuel  Livermore.  A  little  before  this,  viz.,  May  1,  1695,  wid. 
Mary  Price,  and  her  son  William,  sold  to  Wm.  Shattuck,  14  acres  in  the  same 
neighborhood.  Her  death  is  not  recorded  in  Wat.,  and  it  is  probable  that,  about  the 
time  of  these  sales,  she  left  the  town  to  reside  with  one  of  her  children.  At  a  trial 
in  court,  between  parties  belonging  to  Watertown,  "  Wm.  Priest"  was  a  witness.  His 
age  is  not  given.  It  is  not  improbable 
that  he  came  over  in  his  youth,  with 
John  Wetherill,  his  kinsman.  [See 
Wetherill,  p.  637.] 

Of  William  Price,  Jr.,  the  latest  notice  discovered,  is  his  signing  a  quitclaim  to  the 
mother's  homestead,  as  above  stated. 

Of  John  Price  (ex'r  of  his  father,  Wm..  Sen.),  no  precise  information  has  been  obtained; 
but  it  is  conjectured  that  he  settled  in  Lancaster.  After  the  death  of  his  father  he  was 
lessee  of  the  Philpot  lot,  in  Dec,  1686,  and  July,  1688.  Perhaps  he  is  the  one,  who 
m.  Rachel,  dr.  of  Samuel  Garfield  [Garfield  2^-5].  In  a  deed  for  land  in  Weston, 
sold  1710,  it  is  described  as  bounded  N.  and  W.  by  John  Priest  and  James  Priest. 
[John  Preist,  of  Woburn,  had,  1.  Elizabeth,  b.  Sept.  12,  1679.  2.  John,  b.  Nov.  1, 
1681.  3.  Hannah,  b.  July  19,  1686.  Nothing  more  has  been  learned  respecting  this 
family:  but  the  dates  show  that  the  father  could  not  have  been  the  John  Price  (Priest), 
born  in  Watertown.] 

For  James  and  Joseph,  sons  of  William  Price,  see  Priest,  1  and  11,  p.  408. 

Hannah  Price,  the  youngest  child,  m.  Dec.  24,  1702,  Thomas  Sanderson  [5], 
Sept.  3,  1751,  caution  against  (settlement  of)  Hannah  Price,  from  Boston. 

PRINCE. — John  Prince,  the  progenitor  of  the  families  of  this  name  in  New  England, 
settled  first  in  Watertown,  afterwards  successively  of  Hingham  and  Hull;  m.  for  his 
2d  wife  Anne,  wid.  of  William  Barstow.  [See  Geneal.  Beg.  V.,  383,  and  Barstow, 
in  Part  II.,  p.  678.] 

p.  409.  PROUT. — EbenezerProut  was  Clerk  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  in  1689, 
and  on  the  6th  June,  signed  the  order  of  the  House  for  the  imprisonment  of  Sir  E.Andros, 
in  the  Castle.  His  eldest  son  Timothy,  by  his  first  wife,  Elizabeth  [Brooks,  43,  p. 
721],  married  Lydia,  daughter  of  Major  Thomas  Savage,  of  Boston.  In  1728,  he 
purchased  the  Cammock  Patent,  at  Black  Point  (in  Scarborough),  of  the  heirs  of 
Capt.  Joshua  Scotlow,  and  settled  there,  and  d.  Ap.  5,  1768.  His  children,  b.  between 
1718  and  1728,  were,  1.  Lydia.  2.  Ebenezer,  of  Scarboro.  3.  Timothy,  of  Boston. 
4.  Joseph,  of  Scarborough.  5.  Mary,  m.  Capt.  Alexander  Kirkwood,  a  Scotchman, 
of  Scarboro,  s.  p.     6.  Elizabeth.     [See  Hist,  of  Scarboro,  p.  221.] 

QUINER. — Thomas  Quiner  and  family,  moved  to  Cambridge,  in  June,  1741. 


RA1NSBOROUGH.  (Rainborow,  Rainburrow,  Rainsborow.)— Dec.  17,  1640,  Wil- 
liam Rainsborow  purchased  of  Thomas  Bright,  for  £60,  the  house  and  land  in  Wat., 
which  had  been  the  homestall  of  Lieut.  Robert  Feakes.  He  was  elected  a  member 
of  the  An.  and  Hon.  Art.  Co.,  in  1639,  probably  early  in  that  year.  Whether  he  re- 
sided in  Watertown,  has  not  been  ascertained ;  but  such  a  purchase  renders  it 
probable.  He  returned  to  England  in  1644;  became  Colonel  of  a  Regiment  in  Crom- 
well's army,  of  which  Israel  Stoughton  was  Lt.  Col.;  Nehemiah  Bourne,  Major;  John 
Leverett,  a  Captain;  and  William  Hudson,  his  Ensign.  [Winthrop,  II.,  p.  245.]  He 
was  Governor  of  Worcester  in  1646,  and  he  went  to  Ireland  in  1647.  He  d.  1648. 
[See  Clarendon's  Hist.  Rebellion,  3219.]  Did  Col.  Stephen  Winthrop  marry  his 
sister?  [Winthrop,  II.,  pp.  351,  354;  also  Colonial  Records,  II.,  pp.  60,  80.  and  82.]

RAYNOR.— Thurston  Raynor.  had  a  lot  of  330  acres  in  Wethersfield,  which  he 
sold  to  Robert  Treat,  and  moved  to  Stamford  in  1641.  [See  Oldham,  p.  864.]  He  was 
elected  magistrate  in  May.  1664.  Perhaps  this  was  the  son,  who  was  then  49,  and 
the  father  70  years  old. 


RAYNGER. — Caution  by  Lex.,  against  (settlement  of)  Ann  Raynger,  from  Wat., 
May,  1761.     July  10,  1694,  Mrs.  Hooper  warned  not  to  entertain  Henry  Reiner. 

REMINGTON.— John  Remington  was  selectman,  1771,  72,  77.  and  lived  in  the 
house  previously  occupied  by  Capt.  David  Baldwin. 


REYNOLDS. — Robert  and  John  Reynolds,  were  both  very  early  settlers  of  Water- 
town.  Robert  was  adm.  freeman  Sept.  3,  1634,  and  was  dismissed  from  Wat.  Church, 
May,  1635,  in  order,  with  others,  to  organize  a  church  on  Connecticut  River.  John 
was  adm.  freeman  May  6,  1635,  and  about  the  same  time  (in  1635).  he  was  appointed 
on  a  committee  in  Wat.,  for  dividing  to  every  man,  his  share  of  meadow  and  upland. 
There  is  no  further  notice  of  either  of  them  in  the  town  records.  They  probably  both 
belonged  to  the  colony  that  first  went  from  Watertown  to  Wethersfield.  John  Rey- 
nolds was  one  of  the  original  purchasers  of  Stamford,  and  a  John  Renold  was  a 
freeman  and  "townsman"  of  Norwich,  in  1669.  As  the  name  of  Robert  Reynolds 
does  not  occur,  after  a  very  early  date,  in  the  Conn.  Col.  Records,  it  is  conjectured 
that  he  returned  to  the  Bay  Colony;  that  two  of  his  daughters,  Ruth  (Whhney),  and 
Mary  (Sanger),  settled  in  Watertown,  where  he  had  first  settled,  and  that  he  d.  in 
Boston,  in  1659.  [See  his  Will,  in  Geneal.  Reg.  ix.,  p.  137;  also  Whitney  [10],  and 
Sanger  [1].

that  this  family  settled  in  Watertown ;  but  it  is  very  probable,  as  they  came  over  in 
the  same  ship  with  several  other  Watertown  families,  and  belonged  to  the  colony  that 
went  thence  to  plant  Wethersfield.  Robert  Rose  was  sworn  constable  of  Wethersfield

the  General  Court  allowed  Mr.  Ruck  £5  15s., "for  the  charge  of  the  Committee  which

SALTONSTALL.  915 

SALTONSTALL.— Sir  RICHARD  SALTONSTALL,  of  Huntwieke,b.l586,  was  a 
son  of  Samuel  Saltonstall,  of  Rookes  and  Huntwicke,  by  his  first  wife,  ANN,  daughter 
of  John  Ramsden,  of  Longley,  Esq.,  and  a  grandson  of  Gilbert  Saltonstail,  who  pur- 
chased Rookes  in  Hipperholme.  He  was  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  the  West  Riding 
of  Yorkshire,  and  Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Ledsham,  near  Leeds,  which  he  purchased 
of  the  Harebreds.  He  was  not  one  of  the  six  who  purchased  Massachusetts  Bay  of 
the  Plymouth  Company,  Mar.  19,  1627-8,  but  he  soon  became  one  of  their  asso- 
ciates. After  Sir  Henry  Rosewell  and  Sir  John  Young,  two  of  the  original  purchasers, 
he  is  the  next  named  among  those  associates,  in  the  Charter  granted  by  Charles  I., 
Mar.  4,  1628-9:  and  he  is  the  first  named  among  those  Assistants  appointed  by  that 
Charter.  The  first  time  his  name  appears  in  the  records  of  the  Courts  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Bay  Company,  was  Mar.  5,  1628-9,  where  it  immediately  succeeds  the 
names  of  the  officers;  and  it  will  be  found,  in  those  records,  that  his  name  almost 
invariably  stands  at  the  head  of  the  Assistants.  When  the  proposition  of  Gov.  Cradock, 
to  transfer  the  government  of  the  Company  from  England  to  the  Colony,  was  to  be 
argued  in  a  General  Court  of  the  Company,  on  the  29th  of  Aug.,  1629,  Sir  Richard 
was  named  first  of  those  who  were  designated  to  advocate  the  transfer.  At  a  General 
Court,  held  Oct.  15,  1629,  two  committees  were  appointed,  one  on  the  part  of  the 
adventurers,  who  were  to  remain  in  England,  and  the  other  on  the  part  of  those  to  go 
over,  in  order  to  draw  up  articles  of  agreement  "  between  the  adventurers  here  at 
home,  and  the  planters  that  are  to  go  over,  as  well  for  arranging  and  settling  the  joint 
stock,  as  for  reconciling  any  difference  that  may  happen  upon  this  change  [transfer] 
of  government."  Sir  Richard  was  appointed  chairman  of  the  committee  on  the  part  of 
the  emigrant  adventurers.  AtaGeneral  Court, held  Sept.29,  1629,  "were  read  the  orders 
made  the  28th  and  29th  of  August  last,  concerning  the  transferring  of  the  patent  and 
government  of  the  plantation  into  New  England,  but  that  business,  being  of  great  and 
weighty  consequences,  is  thought  fit  to  be  deferred  for  determination  until  Sir  Richard 
Saltonstall,  Mr.  Johnson,  and  other  gentlemen,  be  come  up  to  London,  and  may  be 
here  present."  It  is  probable  that  his  residence  continued  to  be  in  Yorkshire  until 
about  the  time  he  went  to  America,  and  for  that  reason  he  was  not  a  constant  attend- 
ant at  the  Courts  of  the  Company.  At  a  General  Court,  held  Dec.  1,  1629,  in  order 
to  fulfil  those  articles  of  agreement,  the  Company  appointed  five  "  undertakers"  among 
those  about  to  go  over,  of  whom  Sir  Richard  was  named  next  after  the  Governor,  and 
five  others  among  those  that  were  to  remain  in  England. 

Early  in  April,  1630,  Sir  Richard,  with  his  sons  and  daughters,  embarked  at  Yarmouth, 
on  board  the  Arabella,  and  arrived  at  Salem  on  the  12th  of  June.  Those  passengers, 
by  this  and  other  ships,  who  landed  at  Salem,  very  soon  proceeded  to  Charlestown, 
where  their  number  was  much  enlarged  by  the  arrival  of  passengers  in  other  ships, 
that  came  directly  to  Charlestown.  Here  this  company  was  very  soon  divided  into 
two  portions.  One  of  them,  with  Sir  Richard  as  their  leader,  and  Mr.  Phillips  as  their 
minister,  went  to  plant  Watertown,  and  without  delay  (July  28),  organized  a  church, 
and  Sir  Richard  was  the  first  subscriber  to  the  church  covenant.  The  other  portion 
of  the  Company,  with  Gov.  Winthrop  as  their  leader,  and  Mr.  Wilson  as  their  minister, 
remained  in  Charlestown,  and  organized  a  church,  which  was  soon  afterwards  trans- 
ferred to  Boston.     [See  Historical  Introduction.] 

Sir  Richard  remained  in  America  less  than  a  year.  On  the  29th  of  March,  1631,  he, 
with  his  two  daughters,  and  one  of  his  younger  sons,  embarked  for  England,  and,  it 
is  said,  fixed  his  residence  in  London,  having  sold  his  estate  in  Yorkshire  about  the 
time  he  became  one  of  the  adventurers  in  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Company.  He 
never  returned  to  America;  yet  we  may  presume  that  he  proposed,  and  was  expected 
to  return,  as  he  was  elected  an  Assistant  by  the  General  Court  in  May,  1633.  He  con- 
tinued to  be  a  proprietor  of  Watertown  for  several  years.  Mar.  3,  1635-6,  the  Court 
granted  him  100  acres  of  meadow  in  Watertown,  and  in  the  allotment  of  Beaver 
Brook  plowlands,  1636,  30  acres  were  assigned  to  him,  among  '-'the  townsmen  then 
inhabiting."  This  assignment  was  made  because  his  estate  in  Watertown  was 
managed  by  his  servants,  in  his  name,  for  whom  he  was  responsible ;  and  this  pro- 
bably continued  only  until  his  sons,  Samuel  and  Henry,  attained  to  their  majority.  In 
the  list  of  possessions  ordered  to  be  made  in  1642,  Sir  Richard's  name  does  not  ap- 
pear, but  the  names  of  those  two  sons. 

He,  with  Yiscount  Say  and  Seal,  Lord  Brooke,  and  others,  was  one  of  the  patentees  of 
Connecticut,  and  he  was  active  in  promoting  its  settlement.  For  this  purpose,  he 
sent  over  a  bark  of  40  tons,  with  20  servants,  which  arrived  at  Boston,  June  16,  1635. 
His  interest  in  the  Connecticut  plantation  did  not,  however,  seem  to  diminish  his  re- 
gard for  Massachusetts  Bay.     This  was  evinced  by  his  efficient  superintendence  of

its  interests  in  England,  by  the  settlement  of  three  of  his  sons,  and  the  education  of 
the  other,  in  Massachusetts,  and  by  his  legacy  to  Harvard  College. 

Among  those  who  subscribed  the  two  letters,  dated  London,  Aug.  29,  1629,  one  of  them 
addressed  to  Gov.  Endicott,  and  the  other  to  the  ministers  of  Salem,  and  likewise  that 
letter  dated  on  board  the  Arbella,  Ap.  7,  1630,  addressed  to  their  Christian  friends 
and  brethren  they  were  about  leaving  in  England,  the  name  of  Sir  Richard  Salton- 
stall  stands  first.  In  addition  to  this  circumstance,  there  is  in  them  so  much  Christian 
charity,  such  a  courteous  tone,  a  spirit  so  liberal  for  that  day.  and  so  much  in  har- 
mony with  his  admirable  letter,  addressed  to  the  ministers  of  Boston  a  few  years 
afterwards,  that  we  may  fairly  conjecture,  if  not  confidently  assert,  that  he  was  the 
author  of  all  of  them.  Of  that  letter  of  expostulation  and  rebuke  to  the  ministers  of 
Boston,*  above  referred  to,  Dr.  Francis  justly  says,  "  this  letter  is  a  noble  testimony  to 
his  charitable  and  Christian  feelings,  and  seems  to  me  scarcely  less  to  deserve  the 
praise  of  being  beyond  the  age,  than  the  celebrated  farewell  address  of  John  Robin- 
son, at  Leyden."  A  character  in  all  points  so  exemplary,  so  good,  and  so  great,  so 
exempt  from  any  seeming  blemish  or  defect,  it  is  not  easy  to  find  among  the  early 
worthies  of  New  England ;  and  his  honorable  descent,  and  the  superior  social  posi- 
tion, so  evidently  conceded  to  him  by  the  other  adventurers,  are  feeble  claims  to  our 
respect,  compared  with  his  eminent  personal  worth. 

After  he  returned  to  England,  he  received  marked  tokens  of  the  public  confidence.  His 
influence  at  court  is  shown  by  his  success  in  thwarting  the  machinations  of  the  ene- 
mies of  Massachusetts  Bay.  In  1644,  he  was  Ambassador  to  Holland,  and  while 
there,  his  portrait  was  painted  by  the  celebrated  Rembrandt.  It  is  now  in  the  pos- 
session of  the  family  of  the  late  Hon.  Leverett  Sallonstall,  and  it  is  very  highly  valued 
as  a  work  of  art.  Upon  it  is  this  inscription,  "  Aetat.  suae  58,  A.  D.  1644."  In  1649, 
he  was  one  of  the  High  Court  of  Justice  appointed  to  try  Duke  Hamilton,  Lord  Capel, 
the  Earl  of  Holland,  the  Earl  of  Norwich,  and  Sir  John  Owen,  for  high  treason,  of 
whom  the  first  three  were  condemned  and  executed,  and  the  other  two  were  condemned, 
but  pardoned.

"Reverend  and  deare  friends,  whom  I  unfeignedly  love  and  respect, 

■'It  doth  not  a  little  grieve  my  spirit  to  heare  what  sadd  things  are  reported  dayly  of  your  tyranny  and  perse 
cations  in  New  England,  as  that  you  fine,  whip,  and  imprison  men  for  their  consciences.  First,  you  compellsueh 
to  come  into  your  assemblyes  as  you  know  will  not  joyne  with  you  in  your  worship,  and  when  they  show  their 
dislike  thereof,  or  witnes  against  it,  then  you  styrre  up  your  magistrates  to  punish  them  for  such  (as  you  con- 
ceyve)  their  publicke  affronts.  Truely,  friends,  this  your  practice  of  compelling  any  in  matters  of  worship  to  doe 
that  whereof  they  are  not  fully  persuaded,  is  to  make  them  sin,  for  soe  the  Apostle  (Rom.  14  and  23),  tells  us,  and 
many  are  made  hypocrites  thereby,  conforming  in  their  outward  man  for  feare  of  punishment.  We  pray  for  you, 
and  wish  you  prosperitie  every  way,  hoped  the  Lord  would  have  given  you  so  much  light  and  love  there,  that 
you  might  have  been  eyes  to  God's  people  here,  and  not  to  practice  those  courses  in  a  wilderness  which  you 
went  so  farre  to  prevent.  These  rigid  wayes  have  layed  you  very  lowe  in  the  hearts  of  the  saynts.  I  doe  assure 
you  I  have  heard  them  pray  in  the  publique  assemblies  that  the  Lord  would  give  you  meeke  and  humble  spirits,

'When  1  was  in  Holland,  about  the  beginning  of  ourwarres,  I  remember  some  Christians  there,  that  then  had 
serious  thoughts  of  planting  in  New  England,  desired  me  to  write  to  the  governor  thereof  to  know  if  those  that 
differ  from  you  in  opinion,  yet  houlding  the  same  foundation  in  religion,  as  Anabaptists,  Seekers,  Antinomians, 
and  the  like,  might  be  permitted  to  live  among  von,  to  which  I  received  this  short  answer  from  your  then  Gover- 
nour,  Mr.  Dudley.  God  forbid  (said  he)  our  love  for  the  truth  should  be  growne  soe  could  that  we  should  tolerate 
errours;  and  when  (for  satisfaction  of  myself  and  others)  I  desired  to  know  your  grounds,  he  referred  me  to  the 
books  written  here  between  the  Presbyterians  and  Independents,  which  if  that  had  been  sufficient,  I  needed  not 
have  sent  so  farre  to  understand  the  reasons  of  your  practice.  I  hope  you  doe  not  assume  to  yourselves  infallibilitie 
of  judgment,  when  the  most  learned  of  the  Apostles  confesseth  he  knew  but  in  parte  and  saw  but  darkely  as 
through  a  glass,  for  God  is  light,  and  no  further  than  he  doth  illumine  us  can' we  see,  be  our  partes  and  learning 
never  so  great.  Oh  that  all  those  who  are  brethren,  though  yet  they  cannot  thinke  and  speake  the  same  things, 
might  be  of  one  accord  in  the  Lord.  Now  the  God  of  patience  and  consolation  grant  you  to  be  thus  mynded 
towards  one  another,  after  the  example  of  Jesus  Christ  our  blessed  Savyor,  in  whose  everlasting  amies  of  pro-

SALTONSTALL.  917 

1.  Richard,  b.  at  Woodsome,  Co.  York,  in  1610;  d.  at  Hulme,  Co.  of  Lancaster, 
Ap.  29,  1694,  aged  84. 

2.  Robert,  was  probably  the  2d  son  of  Sir  Richard,  as  he  must  have  attained  his 
majority  at  least  as  early  as  1636;  for  on  the  23d  Sept.,  1637,  Mr.  Hugh  Peters 
presented  to  the  Court  a  deed,  by  which  Robert  Saltonstall  assigned  to  him  all 
the  estate  that  he  hath  or  shall  have,  to  satisfy  his  creditors.  This  implies  that 
he  had  some  time  before  attained  his  majority.  It  appears  by  a  deed  dated 
about  1642,  that  he  had  resided  some  time  in  Watertown,  and  he  probably  went 
to  reside  in  Boston,  as  early  as  1638  or  40;  and  was  adm.  mem.  An.  and  Hon. 
Art.  Co.,  1638.  He  was  the  superintendent  of  his  fathers  interest  in  this  coun- 
try, and  it  appears  by  the  Colonial  Records,  that  in  1645,  Sir  Richard  had 
granted  to  him  irrevocably,  all  his  dues  or  claims  in  this  country,  which  was 
allowed  by  the  Court.  His  name  often  occurs  in  the  Colonial  Records,  in  con- 
nection with  business  transactions.  June  2,  1641,  it  was  certified  to  the  Court, 
that  Connecticut  colony  had  sold  to  Mr.  Robert  Saltonstall,  "  a  great  quantity  of 
land,  not  far  below  Springfield."  June  20,  1645,  for  £100,  he  sold  to  his 
brother  Richard,  2100  acres  of  land  on  Connecticut  River,  "between  Spring- 
field and  Windsor  Ferry."  [Essex  Deeds,  I.,  p.  7.]  He  was  one  of  those  pur- 
chasers of  the  two  patents  of  Wecohannet  (Dover),  and  Pascataquack  (Ports- 
mouth), who,  on  the  14th  of  June,  1641,  "gave  up  and  set  over."  all  their 
power  of  jurisdiction  to  the  government  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  Oct.  1,  1645, 
the  Court  granted  to  him  3200  acres,  in  right  of  his  father,  which  had  been 
granted  to  Sir  Richard,  as  an  adventurer.  Previous  to  May  26,  1647,  he  had 
sold  to  Adam  and  Dean  Winthrop,  1000  acres  at  Cochituit,  which  had  been 
granted  to  his  father,  to  be  laid  out  by  Capt.  Pelham  and  Mr.  Pendleton.  There 
were  repeated  contests  between  him  (as  agent  of  his  father)  and  Watertown, 
respecting  titles  to  lands.  They  were  finally  terminated  by  arbitration  in  Oct., 
1647.  May  29,  1644,  he  was  fined  5s.  for  presenting  a  petition,  respecting  land 
in  Watertown,  on  so  small  and  so  bad  a  piece  of  paper.  Mar.  16,  1647-8,  having 
sold  a  house  and  land,  to  which  he  had  no  just  and  true  right,  and  about  which 
there  had  been  considerable  controversy,  he  was  ordered  by  the  Court  to  make 
restitution,  was  fined  for  his  miscarriage,  to  pay  costs  of  Court,  and  was  debarred 
from  pleading  in  other  metis  causes  in  any  Court  of  Justice,  except  himself  have 
real  interest  therein.  This  renders  it  probable  that  he  was  a  lawyer,  or  had 
been  accustomed  to  act  as  an  advocate  in  courts  of  justice.  May  2,  1649,  he 
petitioned  for  a  new  trial  in  the  above-mentioned  case,  which  was  granted. 
In  Oct..  1648,  and  again  in  Oct.,  1649,  the  Court  permitted  him  to  prosecute 
and  recovor,  in  any  court  of  justice,  his  legal  claims  in  the  two  patents  of 
Swamscote  (Exeter),  and  Dover  on  Pascataqua  River.  He  was  never  admitted 
freeman,  probably  because  he  was  not  disposed  to  conform  to  the  rigid  disci- 
pline of  a  Puritan  church.  He  was  enterprising  and  energetic,  and  his  father 
seems  to  have  reposed  entire  confidence  in  his  integrity ;  yet  he  seems  not  to 
have  possessed  the  public  spririt,  and  the  high-toned  religious  and  moral  cha- 
racteristics, which  were  so  admirably  illustrated  in  his  father  and  his  brother 
Richard.     He  d.  unm.  about  July,  1650. 

His  Will,  dated  June  13,  proved  Aug.  15,  1650,  meniions  his  father;  his  brothers, 
Richard,  Samuel,  and  Henry;  his  sisters,  Rosamond  and  Grace;  his  uncle  John 
Clarke,  whom,  with  George  Munnings,  he  appointed  executors;  his  aunt 
Clarke,  and  her  son,  then  in  Barbadoes.  He  made  bequests  also  to  Henry 
Walton,  Adam  Winthrop,  and  Thomas  Lake.  On  the  day  the  Will  was  proved, 
John  Clarke  renounced  the  executorship.  [See  Geneal.  Reg.  vii.,  334.]  It  is 
supposed  that  Martha,  wife  of  John  Clarke,  of  Boston,  was  a  sister  of  Sir 
Richard ;  but  it  seems  to  me  more  probable  that  their  wives,  Grace  and  Martha, 
were  sisters. 

3.  Samuel,  probably  the  3d  son  of  Sir  Richard,  is  mentioned  in  the  Will  of  his 
brother  Robert,  and  in  a  letter  of  his  sister  Rosamond,  dated  Ap.  22,  1644.  For 
an  account  of  him,  see  pp.  415-16.  and  note,  p.  918. 

4.  Henry,  probably  the  youngest  son.  [See  p.  415.]  No  additional  information 
respecting  him  has  been  obtained,  He  is  mentioned  in  the  Will  of  his  brother 
Robert,  and  in  the  letter  of  his  sister  Rosamond. 

5.  Rosamond,  perhaps  the  eldest  child.     In  Ap.,  1644,  she  had  been  living  two

years  at  Warwick  House,  in  the  family  of  the  Earl  of  Warwick.  Whether  she 
ever  married,  or  what  became  of  her,  has  not  been  ascertained.* 

6.  Grace,  mentioned  byname,  in  her  brother  Robert's  Will,  and  in  her  sister's  letter 
(but  not  named)  and  then,  1644,  living  in  the  family  of  Lady  Manchester.  It  is 
not  known  whether  she  married,  or  what  became  of  her. 

[7.  Peter  Sallonstall,  was  formerly  conjectured  to  be  a  son  of  Sir  Richard  ;  but  it 
is  now  deemed  nearly  certain  that  he  was  not.  His  name  has  been  discovered 
in  no  records,  except  those  of  the  Artillery  Company.  He  is  not  mentioned  in 
the  Will  of  Robert,  which  mentions  all  the  other  children  of  Sir  Richard,  nor 
in  the  letter  of  Rosamond  to  her  brother  Samuel,  which  was  probably  written 
some  time  before  he  was  elected  into  the  Art.  Co.;  as  he  was,  with  one  excep- 
tion, the  last  one  elected  in  the  year  1644.  It  is  not  improbable  that  he  was  a 
son  of  Sir  Peter  Sallonstall,  of  Berkway,  Co.  Herts,  Kt.,  a  first  cousin  of  Sir 
Richard.     Sir  Peter  had  a  son  Peter,  who  d.  s.  p.]

1630,  before  taking  a  degree;  was  adm.  freeman,  May  18,  1631,  then  of  Wat., 
aged  21,  with  the  title  "Mr."  This  was  only  a  few  weeks  after  his  father 
departed  for  England.  He  embarked  for  England  Nov.  23,  1631,  where  he  re- 
mained about  four  years  and  a  half,  and,  it  is  conjectured,  gave  some  attention

with  sisterly  affection,  and  so  imbued  with  an  earnest  Christian  spirit, — so  creditable  to  her  mind  as  well  as  her 
heart — that  it  seems  worthy  of  insertion.

"From  Warwick  House. 
"  Dear  Brother: — 

"  I  am  not  a  little  glad  to  receive  any  intimation  of  your  health  and  happiness,  either  by  word  or  writing,  and 
both  your  own  letter  and  my  brother  Henry's  intelligence,  hath  lately  assured  me  of  it.  I  should  be  much  more 
glad  to  see  you  that  I  might  know  you  better,  and  enjoy  more  intimate  acquaintance  with  your  spirit,  especially 
iii  spiritual  things.  I  trust  you  have  seen  and  heard  so  much  the  beauty  thereof,  where  you  are,  that  they  have 
really  challenged  your  heart  from  all  the  world.  I  can  desire  nothing  so  much  as  your  soul's  prosperity,  and 
that  you  would  interest  yourself  in  all  the  ways  and  means,  that  might  add  to  your  growth  for  an  eternal  wel- 
fare. I  am  sure  'tis  the  best  counsell,  and  you  will  find  it  so  one  day,  when  all  your  days  on  earth  must  be  con- 
cluded by  death.  Consider  that  time  much,  and  what  kind  of  provision  eternity  will  require,  and  then  the  world 
and  all  carnal  things  will  not  take  up  your  thoughts  more  than  needs  must. 

"  Dear  Brother,  I  am  glad  to  hear  of  you  so  well  as  I  do,  and  therefore.  I  desire  you  would  go  farther,  and  not 
be  a  hindrance  to  the  good  of  your  own  soul  by  any  indisposition  of  nature.  Put  forth  yourself  and  trust  God  in 
his  own  way  and  work,  if  you  can  find,  in  any  true  measure,  anything  o{  Christ  savingly  wrought  in  you ;  and 
what  he  will  own,  man  dares  not  reject,  nor  any  that  desire,  lo  draw  near  to  God  in  any  ordinance;  and  all  his 
ordinances  are  precious  and  highly  lo  be  valued,  and  surely  God  will  never  draw  so  near,  or  delight  in  any,  that 
do  not  make  it  their  desire  and  endeavor  to  draw  near  to  him  in  every  ordinance*  Consider  your  condition 
seriously,  put  yourself  lo  trial,  let  God  see  you  willing  to  deny  yourself  in  all  carnal  reasonings  and  sinful  objec- 
tions, that  you  may  give  up  yourself  fully  to  be  one  of  Christ's  flock,  that  he  may  wholly  rule  over  you. 

"  Dear  Brother,  you  are  likely  to  be  a  constant  settler  where  you  are;  therefore,  without  question,  you  have 
liberty  to  dispose  of  yourself  into  church-fellowship,  and  I  pray  God  you  may  be  so  fitted  for  it,  as  interested  in  it. 

"  For  our  condition  here,  I  need  not  tell  you  how  we  are  dispersed  ;  my  father  and  brollier  Henry,  are  in  Hol- 
land. My  father  hath  some  necessity  to  be  there  now,  because  of  Mr.  White's  breaking,  by  whom  my  father  hath 
lost  more  of  that  little  estate  he  hath  left.  For  the  present  I  am,  and  have  been,  two  years  in  my  Lord  of  War- 
wick's family  ;  my  sister  is  with  my  Lady  Manchester,  and  thus  we  are  dispersed  about.  The  Lord  give  us  all 
a  gathering  in  Christ,  and  there  we  shall  meet  without  separation  to  all  eternity.

to  legal  studies.  About  1633,  he  married  MERIELL  GURDON,  dr.  of  Brampton 
Gurdon,  of  Asson,  Co.  Suffolk,  Esq.  (who,  it  is  said,  had  "  eight  sons,  Parlia- 
ment men").  He  embarked  at  London,  in  Ap.,  1635,  with  wife  Meriell,  aged  22 
yrs.,  and  dr.  Meriell,  aged  9  months.  Upon  his  arrival,  then  aged  25,  he  settled 
in  Ipswich,  and  immediately  began  to  receive  tokens  of  public  respect  and  confi- 
dence; and  there  is  not  probably  in  the  early  colonial  history,  another  instance, 
where  so  young  a  man  received  so  many.  The  Colonial  Records  show  that  he 
was  truly  a  worthy  son  of  a  very  worthy  father. 

Mr.  Saltonstall  was  elected  Deputy  of  Ipswich,  to  the  first  General  Court,  held 
after  his  return,  and  was  at  five  courts  between  Mar.  3,  1635-6,  and  April,  1637. 
He  was  elected  Assistant,  June  1,  1637,  and  continued  to  be  elected  annually  until 
1649.  In  Oct.  of  that  year,  another  man  was  appointed  in  his  place  on  a  com- 
mission, which  he  could  not  attend  to,  "in  regard  of  his  intended  voyage,"  bound 
to  England,  probably  for  the  benefit  of  his  wife's  health.  Sept.,  1649,  "being, 
by  God's  Providence,  upon  a  voyage  to  England,"  he  appoints  the  present  Pastor 
and  the  Deacons  of  the  Church  of  Ipswich,  his  attorneys,  with  "power  to  act," 
about  all  of  his  estates  in  Ipswich.  [Essex  Deeds,  II.,  p.  6.]  When  he  re- 
turned has  not  been  ascertained,  but  he  was  in  England  in  the  spring  of  1662. 
[See  Hutchinson's  State  Papers,  p.  371.]  In  1672,  he  went  back  to  England, 
where  his  three  daughters  were  married.  He  returned  to  Massachusetts  again  in 
1680,  where  he  remained  about  three  years;  and  then,  at  the  age  of  73,  went 
again  to  England,  where  he  died,  at  Hulme,  Ap.  29,  1694,  aged  84.  He  was 
elected  Assistant,  in  1664,  and  again,  upon  his  second  return  to  Ipswich,  in  1680, 
81,  and  82.  Sept.  6,  1636.  the  Court  appointed  a  committee  to  examine  the  ac- 
counts of  Mr.  R.  Saltonstall,  executor  of  the  estate  of  John  Dillingham,  deceased, 
and  of  Edward  Dillingham,  his  son.  This  estate  was  not  finally  settled  until  1645. 
May  25,  1636.  he,  with  two  others,  was  appointed  "  to  keep  court"  at  Ipswich.  In 
1644,  1646,  and  1647,  he  was  appointed  ("  desired)  to  keep  court"  at  Piscataqua. 
Sept.  8,  1636,  he  was  one  of  those  deputed  to  require  the  last  rates  of  each  town 
in  the  plantation ;  to  find  out  the  true  value  of  every  town  in  the  plantation,  and 
to  make  an  equal  rate  for  £600.  The  next  year  he  received  a  similar  appoint- 
ment. In  1638,  he  was  appointed  a  referee  "  in  business,  between  Henry  Sewall 
and  the  town  of  Newbury."  Mar.  12,  1637-8,  he  was  one  of  the  committee  ap- 
pointed to  report  upon  "excessive  prices,"  and  to  report  "their  thoughts  for 
remedying  the  same."  At  the  same  time  he  was  appointed  on  a  committee  "  to 
consider  of  a  levy,  petitions,  and  other  trivial  matters."  May  29,  1644,  he,  with 
two  others,  was  appointed,  "  with  full  power  to  hear  and  determine  all  businesses 
at  Hampton,  both  about  their  differences,  offences,  and  a  new  plantation,  accord- 
ing to  their  several  petitions." 

Oct.  7,  1641,  he  was,  by  the  Court,  appointed  him  Serjeant  Major  in  Col.  Endi- 
cott's  Regiment.  Although  he  received  so  many  offices  and  appointments,  and  the 
preceding  are  only  a  part)  he  does  not  seem  to  have  been  ambitious  for  office. 
Winthrop  says,  that  in  1644,  Mr.  Saltonstall  "moved  very  earnestly  that  he  mi^ht 
be  left  out  of  the  next  election  (of  Assistants),  and  pursued  his  motion  after  to  The 
towns ;"  and  he  supposes  that  it  was  because  Mr.  S.  found  himself  in  a  small  mino- 
rity, among  the  Assistants,  on  some  points  of  public  policy.  Like  his  father,  he  had 
more  correct  views  of  public  justice,  and  of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  than  were 
then  and  there  prevalent.  Oct.  1,  1645,  the  Court  grantee!  a  charter,  for  20  years, 
after  any  discovery  made  within  three  years,  to  the  following  gentlemen",  as  a 
trading  company  or  company  of  adventurers,  viz.,  "  Richard  Saltonstall,  Esq., 
Mr.  Syman  Bradstreet,  Mr.  Samuel  Symonds,  Mr.  Richard  Dumer,  Mr.  Willie 
Hubbard.  Capt.  Wm.  Hathorne,  and  Mr.  Wm.  Paine."  He  was  one  of  those 
persons  who  were  privy  to  the  concealment  of  the  regicide  Judges,  Whalley  and 
Goffe,  and  in  1672,  he  gave  them  j£50. 


There  are  three  events  in  the  life  of  Mr.  Saltonstall,  of  some  importance,  as  illustrative 
of  his  regard  for  civil  liberty,  public  justice,  and  humanity. 

The  greatest  blemish,  the  charge  which  it  is  most  difficult  to  meet  satisfactorily,  in  the 
conduct  of  the  planters  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  is  undoubtedly  their  bigoted  attach- 
ment to  the  minutia  of  their  religious  dogmas,  their  seeming  to  be  the  disciples  of 
Moses  more  than  of  Christ,  their  intolerance  of  any  variation  from  their  views,  even 
on  speculative  points  of  no  practical  importance,  and  the  severity  of  their  dealings 
with  those  who  conscientiously  differed  from  them.     In  such  a  condition  of  the 


920  SALTONSTALL. 

public  sentiments,  or  rather  of  those  who  bear  rule,  there  can  hardly  fail  to  be  a 
proneness  towards  the  assumption  of  arbitrary  power.  This  was  manifested  in  the 
early  attempt  of  the  Court  to  tax  the  people  without  their  consent,  which,  however, 
was  so  met  by  the  Rev.  George  Phillips,  the  uncompromising  Elder  Richard  Browne, 
and  other  people  of  VVatertown,  that  it  was  not  afterwards  attempted.  This  occurred 
while  Mr.  Saltonstall  was  in  England.  The  next  important  manifestation  of  this  ten- 
dency was  on  the  3d  of  March,  1635-6,  when  the  Court  passed  an  order,  that  the 
General  Court,  at  their  next  meeting,  "  shall  elect  a  certain  number  of  magistrates  for 
term  of  their  lives,  as  a  standing  council."  This  order  was  obnoxious  to  the  people, 
and  awakened  among  them  a  jealousy  of  the  designs  of  their  rulers.  They  looked 
upon  it  as  an  infringement  of  their  rights,  as  an  attempt  to  introduce  into  the  govern- 
ment an  almost  irresponsible  body,  which  was  not  warranted  by  their  charter.  Such 
was  the  excitement  produced,  that  at  the  end  of  three  years  (May  22.  1639),  the  Court 
virtually,  but  not  formally,  almost  annulled  the  force  of  that  order.  The  obnoxious 
Standing  Council,  however,  still  subsisted,  and  to  allay  the  excitement,  the  Court 
authorized  "  every  freeman  to  give  their  advice  to  any  of  the  deputies  concerning  the 
institution  and  power  of  the  Standing  Council." 

Mr.  Saltonstall,  although  an  Assistant,  with  a  very  fair  prospect  of  becoming  a  member 
of  that  Council,  if  he  desired  it,  coincided  in  sentiment  with  those  freemen,  and  such 
of  the  Elders  as  disapproved  of  the  Standing  Council,  differing  in  this  respect  from 
most  of  the  other  Assistants;  and  he  wrote  a  book,  maintaining  that  the  institution  of 
such  a  body  for  life  was  not  warranted  by  the  Charter,  and  was  a  sinful  innovation. 
It  is  evident,  from  Winthrop,  that  his  remarks  were  cogent  and  pointed.  Mr.  Salton- 
stall put  the  book  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  Hathorne,  a  Deputy,  and  from  him  it  passed 
into  other  hands,  and  not  until  after  the  lapse  of  a  considerable  time  was  it  laid  before 
the  Court.  The  book  gave  great  offence,  especially  to  some  of  the  high  officials, 
those  most  interested  in  the  institution  which  was  attacked,  and  they  would  gladly 
have  censured  or  otherwise  punished  the  author.  But  such  was  the  character  and 
influence  of  Mr.  Saltonstall,  and  so  cogent  and  unanswerable  his  argument,  that  they 
did  not  succeed,  and  he  was  "discharged  from  any  censure  or  further  inquiry  by  this 
or  any  other  court."  This  vote  was  passed  May  3,  1642.  Yet  so  much  rankling 
did  the  book  leave  in  certain  persons  interested,  that  on  the  14th  of  the  next  month, 
the  Court  voted  "to  vindicate  the  office  of  the  Standing  Council,  as  it  is  now  ordered, 
and  the  persons  in  whom  it  is  now  vested,  from  all  dishonor  and  reproach,  cast  upon 
it  or  them,  in  Mr.  Saltonstall's  book."  For  this  purpose,  the  book  was  referred  to  the 
Elders,  the  very  persons  who  had  advised  the  institution  of  such  a  Council.  "The 
Elders  all  met  at  Ipswich,"  Oct.  18,  1642,  and  took  the  book  into  consideration. 
They  "differed  much  in  their  judgment  about  it,"  but  finally  agreed  to  report  that 
three  propositions  are  laid  down  in  it,  and  "  in  their  answer  they  allowed  the  said 
propositions  are  sound  ;"  but  they  made  some  nice  distinctions  about  the  application 
of  them,  intended  to  lessen  the  odium  attached  to  the  institution  and  the  authors  of  it. 

The  Government  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  through  their  own  weakness,  and  the  artifice  of 
La  Tour,  became  dishonorably,  not  to  say  dishonestly,  implicated  in  "  the  French 
business," — the  controversy  between  D'Aulney  and  La  Tour.  In  an  early  stage  of 
this  business  (in  May,  1643),  "  those  about  Ipswich,  &c,  took  great  offence  at  these 
proceedings,"  protesting  against  them  "  with  divers  arguments,  some  whereof  were 
weighty."  [Winthrop,  II.,  128;  Hutchinson's  State  Papers,  p.  115.]  In  this  protest, 
it  is  fair  to  presume  that  Mr.  Saltonstall  was  the  leader,  not  only  from  his  social  and 
official  position,  his  being  the  first  subscriber,  and  his  known  sentiments,  but  from  his 
subsequent  conduct. 

This  protest,  dated  July  14,  1643,  was  signed  by  Richard  Saltonstall,  Simon  Bradstreet, 
Samuel  Simonds,  Nath.  Warde,  Ez.  Rogers,  Nath.  Rogers,  John  Norton.  [See  Hazard's 
State  Papers,  I.,  p.  502.]  Mr.  Bradstreet  speaks  of  it  as  a  joint  production, — "  we 
writ  the  letter,"  "  our  letter,"  and  he  defended  it  against  the  strictures  of  Gov.  Win- 
throp. 

At  the  General  Court,  in  May,  1645,  a  commission  was  granted  to  the  Governor  (Dud- 
ley), Lieut.  Atherton,  Mr.  Pelham,  Capt.  Cooke,  Mr.  Saltonstall,  and  Mr.  Hathorne, 
with  power  to  summon  witnesses,  &c,  to  search  out  the  truth  about  "the  French 
business  ;"  yet,  at  the  same  Court,  a  pass  was  granted  to  La  Tour  for  seven  armed 
vessels;  and  a  small  amount  of  provision  was  allowed  them  "  on  the  country  charge." 
This  was  a  manifest  violation  of  the  spirit,  if  not  of  the  letter,  of  the  9th  Article  of 
the  Confederation  of  the  four  New  England  Colonies,  entered  into  in  May,  1643;  and 
in  August,  1645.  a  solemn  and  formal  protest  was  delivered  to  the  Commissioners  of 


SALTONSTALL. 


921 


the  United  Colonies,  in  the  handwriting  of  Mr.  Saltonstall,  and  signed  by  himself  and 
Mr.  Hathorne,  who  were  a  minority  of  those  commissioners  of  inquiry,  appointed  the 
preceding  May.  This  protest,  for  pertinence,  perspicuity,  just  sentiments,  and  com- 
prehensive views,  will  compare  most  favorably  with  any  state  paper  of  that  period. 
[See  Winthrop  II.,  pp.  381-3.]  From  this  paper,  we  may  infer  the  ability  displayed 
in  Mr.  Saltonstall's  book  against  a  Standing  Council  for  life. 
Mr.  Saltonstall  is  entitled  to  a  high  place  among  those  Christian  philanthropists,  who 
have  entertained  a  conscientious  regard  for  "  the  higher  law,"  and  have  spoken  and 
acted  promptly  and  boldly  against  the  nefarious  slave  trade.  Capt.  James  Smith,  of 
Boston,  and  his  mate,  Thomas  Kaezar,  in  the  ship  Rainbow,  went  to  the  coast  of 
"  Guinea  to  trade  for  negroes."  Upon  their  return,  bringing  only  two  negroes  to  Boston, 
and  reporting  their  doings,  Mr.  Saltonstall,  in  Oct.  1645,  presented  to  tne  General  Court 
a  petition,  representing  in  strong  terms  the  heinous  conduct  of  Smith  and  Kaezar, 
declaring  that  "the  act  of  stealing  negroes,  or  taking  them  by  force  (whether  it  be  con- 
sidered a  theft  or  a  robbery),  is  (as  I  conceive)  contrary  to  the  law  of  God  and  the 
law  of  this  country,'7  and  he  "requested  that  the  several  offenders  may  be  imprisoned 
by  the  order  of  this  Court,  and  brought  to  their  deserved  censure  in  convenient  time." 
The  petition,  written  with  Mr.  Saltonstall's  peculiar  terseness,  perspicuity,  and  bold- 
ness, was  signed  by  himself  only.  [Winthrop,  II.,  p.  379.]  The  petition  was  granted, 
and  it  was  ordered  that  Capt.  Smith  (a  member  of  Boston  Church),  and  Mr.  Kaezar. 
"  be  laid  hold  on,  and  committed  to  give  answer."  The  Court  ordered  the  two  negroes 
to  be  delivered  up,  and  one,  if  not  both  of  them,  to  be  sent  back  to  Guinea  at  the 
public  expense.

Massachusetts  Bay  was  taken  away,  and  when  he  was  named  one  of  "  the  Council 
of  the  Governor  of  Massachusetts  Bay,"  under  Sir  Edmund  Andros.  But  he  re- 
fused to  accept  the  appointment,  and,  upon  the  deposition  of  Sir  Edmund,  he 
became  one  of  the  Council,  which  took  the  government  of  the  Colony  into 
their  hands.  He  continued  in  this  office  until  the  arrival  of  the  Charier  of 
William  and  Mary,  wherein  he  was  appointed  one  of  their  Majesty's  Council.  On 
the  2d  June,  1692,  he  was  appointed  one  of  the  Judges  in  a  special  commission 
of  Oyer  and  Terminer,  for  the  trial  of  persons  accused  of  witchcraft,  and,  with  a 
highminded  liberality,  worthy  of  his  father  and  grandfather,  the  more  honorable 
for  being  at  that  time  singular,  he,  and  he  alone,  refused  to  serve  in  that  com- 
mission from  conscientious  scruples.  In  August,  1680,  he  went  with  the  Deputy 
Governor  and  others,  "with  60  soldiers,  in  a  ship  and  sloop  from  Boston,  to  still 
the  people  at  Casco  Bay,  and  prevent  Gov.  Andros's  usurpation.'"'  In  1683,  he 
was  appointed  by  the  Crown  one  of  the  Commissioners  "to  examine  and  inquire 
into  the  claims  and  titles,  as  well  of  his  Majesty  as  others,  to  the  Narragansett 
country,"  to  which  important  com- 
mission he  attended.  He  was  ad- 
ministrator of  the  estate  of  his  uncle, 
Samuel  Saltonstall,  of  Watertown.  Chil.,

1701 ;  d.  early.     In  1733,  Dorothy,  wid.  of  Nathaniel  Saltonstall,  left  a  legacy 
of  £300  to  Harv.  College.     Harv.  Catalogue,  says  he  d.  1739,  probably  an  error. 
5.  John,  b.  Aug.  14,  1678;  d.  Oct.  2,  1681. 

(IV.)  Gov.  GURDON  SALTONSTALL,  grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1684;  received  a 
unanimous  call  in  May,  1688,  to  settle  in  New  London,  where  he  was  ordained 
Nov.  19,  1691.  Upon  the  death  of  Gov.  John  Winthrop,  who  d.  Nov.  27,  1707, 
Mr.  Saltonstall  was  elected  his  successor,  and  took  the  oath  of  office  as  Governor 
of  Connecticut,  Jan.  1,  1708.  He  was  tall  and  well  proportioned,  of  dignified 
aspect  and  demeanor;  of  eminent  intellectual  endowments  and  acquirements, 
and  a  very  graceful  and  impressive  elocution.  He  was  an  advocate  of  vigorous 
ecclesiastical  authority,  always  striving  to  exalt  the  ministerial  office,  to  maintain 
its  dignity,  and  to  enlarge  the  powers  of  ecclesiastical  bodies ;  which  gave  him 
unbounded  popularity  among  his  clerical  brethren.  Such  were  his  views  of  law 
and  order,  both  in  church  and  state,  and  of  the  discipline  to  be  employed  in 
maintaining  them,  and  such  his  regard  for  official  dignity  and  privileges,  that  he  ac- 
quired the  reputation  of  being  severe,  imperious,  and  of  seeking  self-aggrandiza- 
tion.  Yet  he  was  a  very  popular  Governor,  and  remained  in  office  until  Sept.  21, 
1724,  when  he  died  suddenly  of  apoplexy.  [For  a  full  and  excellent  delineation 
of  his  character,  see  Caulkin's  Hist,  of  New  London.]  He  m.  (1st)  JERUSHA 
RICHARDS,  dr.  of  James  Richards,  of  Hartford.  She  d.  in  Boston,  July  25, 
1697.  He  m.  (2d)  ELIZABETH  ROSEWELL,  dr.  and  sole  heir  of  William 
Rosewell  *  of  Bran  ford.  She  d.  in  childbed  in  New  London,  Sept.  12,  1710.  He 
m.  (3d)  Mrs.  MARY  CLARKE,  dr.  of  William  and  Mary  (Lawrence)  Whitting- 
ham,  and  relict  of  William  Clarke,  of  Boston.  She  d.  in  Boston,  Jan.  23,  1730, 
s.  p.  [For  her  parentage  and  lineage,  see  Farmer  ;  also  Riker's  Annals  of  New- 
town, L.  I.]  To  his  son  Rosewell,  he  bequeathed  the  Rosewell  estate  in  Branford, 
and  his  manor  of  Killingly,  near  Pontefract,  in  Yorkshire,  England;  to  his  son 
Nathaniel,  his  farm  at  Cauchinchaug  (Durham):  to  his  son  Gurdon,  his  lands  in 
New  London  ;  to  his  daughters  Elizabeth,  Mary,  and  Sarah,  the  estate  in  Wethers- 
field,  that  was  their  mother's.  He  also  provides  for  his  daughter  Catherine.  He 
built  a  mansion  on  the  border  of  Lake 
Saltonstall,  in  Branford,  which  has  a  variety 
of  antique  ornaments; — walls  hung  with 
grotesque  pictures,  Spanish  leather  tapes-

RINE RUSSELL,  dr.  of  Hon.  Richard  and  Maud  Russell,  of  Charlestown.  [See  note.  p.  736.]  In  1658,  wood  and 
common  land  was  assigned  to  him  "on  Mistick  syde,"  in  Charlestown.  He  moved  to  Connecticut,  as  early  as 
1667.  He  probably  first  went  to  Branford,  as  he  was  one  of  the  original  signers  of  the  "New  Plantation  Cove- 
nant" of  Branford,  Jan.  20,  1667  ;  but  he  must  have  moved  to  New  Haven  very  soon  afterwards,  for  on  Jan.  13, 
1667,  the  town  of  New  Haven  granted  him  a  lot,  on  which  he  built  a  house,  and  "  for  some  years  dwelt  in  ;"  was 
engaged  in  trade,  and  owned  a  bark,  trailing  between  New  Haven  and  Barbadoes.  He  probably  returned  to 
Branford,  in  1671 ;  for,  on  the  9lh  of  Feb.,  1671,  the  town  of  Branford  granted  him  a  tract  of  land,  at  the  outlet  of 
the  Lake  [since  called  Saltonstall  Lake],  on  condition  of  his  erecting  and  maintaining  a  dam  there.  This  dam 
yet  remains.  In  the  same  year  was  a  marriage  settlement  between  Hon.  Richard  Russell,  and  his  daughter 
Catherine  Rosewell,  of  the  one  part,  and  Mr.  William  Rosewell,  of  the  other  part,  settling  upon  her  heirs  of  this 
marriage,  first  male  and  second  female,  the  farm  by  the  Lake,  with  the  negroes  (naming  them),  Albert  and  his 
wife  Ruth,  and  chil.  Caty,  Andrew,  and  Ruth,  and  another  negro  named  Peter.  He  d.  July  19,  1694,  aged  64,  in-

84  5.  Dudley,  b.  Sept.  8,  1738,  a  distinguished  seaman,  of  New  London.  In  early 
life,  he  made  numerous  voyages  in  mercantile  pursuits.  In  the  Revolutionary 
War,  he  attained  the  rank  of  Commodore,  and  had  command  of  the  American 
Fleet  in  the  expedition  against  Penobscot  in  1779.  The  disastrous  issue  of  that 
expedition  was  attributed  to  unforeseen  obstacles,  and  the  insufficiency  of  the 
force, — not  to  any  want  of  skill  or  bravery  in  the  Commander.  The  largest 
American  vessel  was  the  Warren,  of  32  guns,  and  they  were  attacked  by  a 
squadron  of  five  British  war  vessels,  led  on  by  Sir  George  Collier,  in  the  Rain- 
bow, of  44  guns.  Under  such  circumstances,  the  destruction  or  capture  of  the 
American  Fleet  was  inevitable.  He  afterwards  commanded  the  privateer 
Minerva,  and  among  the  prizes  taken  byhim  was  the  Hannah,  a  merchant  ship, 
of  London,  bound  for  N.  York,  having  the  most  valuable  cargo  sent  to  America 
during  the  war.  The  exasperation  produced  by  this  and  other  losses  by 
privateers  from  New  London,  is  said  to  have  led  to  that  expedition,  in  Sept. 
1781,  in  which  New  London  and  Groton  were  burnt,  and  the  garrison  of  Fort 
Griswold  massacred.  Capl.  D.  Saltonstall  m.,  in  1765,  Frances,  dr.  of  Dr.

and  had  the  Latin  Oration  when  he  graduated.  He  was  the  fourth  of  the  family 
in  succession  who  held  the  office  of  Colonel.  In  the  rank  of  Major,  he  was 
engaged  in  active  service  in  the  French  War  on  Lake  George,  and  belonged  to 
that  body  which  capitulated  at  Fort  William  Henry,  Aug.  9,  1757.  When  the 
Indians  fell  upon  the  unarmed  prisoners,  he  fled  to  the  woods,  and  very 
narrowly  escaped  death  in  that  horrid  massacre.  He  commanded  a  regiment 
from  1760  until  the  end  of  the  war.  Soon  after  this,  he  was  appointed  High 
Sheriff  of  the  county  of  Essex. 

Col.  Saltonstall  was  a  firm  loyalist,  and  uniformly  opposed  the  measures  taken 
in  opposition  to  the  royal  government.     He  deemed  the  proceedings  of  the

British  Parliament  extremely  inexpedient,  but  he  never  doubted  their  right  to 
tax  their  American  Colonies.  In  the  autumn  of  1774,  he  fled  to  Boston,  and 
soon  afterwards  embarked  for  England.  He  refused  to  enter  the  British  service, 
lest  he  should  be  directed  to  act  against  his  native  country.  The  king,  never- 
theless, granted  him  a  pension,  and  he  never  returned  to  America. 

Col.  Saltonstall  resided  upon  the  family  estate  in  Haverhill,  in  a  liberal  and 
hospitable  manner,  but  was  never  married.  He  was  characterized  by  integrity, 
frankness,  a  benevolent  disposition,  polished  manners,  a  superior  understanding 
and  knowledge  of  the  world,  which  made  him  much  beloved,  and  gave  him 
great  influence.  He  d.  Oct.  6,  1785,  at  Kensington,  Eng.,  where  there  is  a 
monument  erected  to  his  memory.  [See  Sketch  of  Haverhill,  by  Hon.  Leverett

6.  Nathaniel,  b.  Feb.  10,  1746;  at  the  age  of  10  years,  upon  the  decease  of  his 
father,  was  received  into  the  family  of  his  uncle,  Meddlecott  Cooke,  Esq.,  of 
Boston;  grad.  Harv.  Coll.  1766;  settled  in  Haverhill,  where  he  devoted  his  life 
to  the  practice  of  medicine;  M.M.S.S.  His  classical  education  and  general  in- 
telligence, his  eminent  professional  skill,  and  conscientious  discharge  of  duty, 
his  gentle  manners  and  kind  disposition,  and  his  strong  attachment  to  the  liberty 
and  independence  of  his  country,  acquired  for  him  great  respect  in  the  com- 
munity, and  the  affection  and  entire  confidence  of  his  patients.  He  was  re- 
markable for  his  humane  and  assiduous  attention  to  the  poor,  consoling  them 
by  his  friendly,  cheerful  demeanor,  and  by  the  medicines  and  other  necessaries 
which  he  freely  supplied,  without  the  prospect  of  any  pecuniary  remuneration. 

At  a  time  when  all  his  brothers  and  brothers-in-law  adhered  to  those  prin- 
ciples of  loyalty  in  which  they  had  been  educated,  Dr.  Saltonstall  remained 
true  to  those  principles  of  civil  liberty  and  humanity  which  he  inherited  from 
his  worthy  ancestor,  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  and  his  not  less  worthy  son.  Richard 
of  Ipswich.  This  conscientious  adherence  to  his  principles  separated  him  for- 
ever from  those  he  most  loved.  It  was  to  him  a  severe  trial,  and  gave  the 
strongest  proof  of  his  sincerity,  and  the  strength  of  his  principles.  These  had 
probably  been  much  invigorated,  by  his  training  in  the  patriotic  Cooke  family.

with  the  British  officers  there,  and  fascinated  with  the  profession,  he  accepted 
commission,  and  unlike  his  brother,  Col.  Richard,  bore  arms  against  his  native 
land,  and  was  engaged  in  several  battles.  He  was  a  captain  under  Comwallis, 
fell  a  victim  to  the  hardships  of  a  camp  life,  and  died  of  consumption  at  New 
York,  Dec.  20,  1782,  aged  28.  [See  "Sketch  of  Haverhill,"  by  his  nephew  and

p.  429.  SHERMAN. — Samuel  Sherman,  an  early  settler  of  Boston,  was  not  the 
Samuel  Sherman  who  went  from  Watertown  with  the  first  settlers  of  Wethersfield. 
The  latter,  it  is  said,  was  a  brother  of  Rev.  John  Sherman.  It  appears,  also  [Hist,  of 
Glastenbury,  p.  163],  that  he  was  a  son  of  Joseph  [?  Edmund]  Sherman,  of  Wethers- 
field, one  of  the  original  grantees  of  the  Naubuc  Farms,  who,  in  1641,  gave  this  farm 
[144  acres]  to  his  son  Samuel.  If  these  statements  be  correct,  this  Joseph  was  the 
father  of  Rev.  John  Sherman,  of  Watertown,  and  the  father  and  his  two  sons  may 
have  gone  to  Wethersfield  together.  Samuel  Sherman  was  one  of  those  twenty 
Wethersfield  men  who  purchased  Stamford,  Oct.  30,  1640;  from  Stamford  he  moved 
to  Stratford,  where  he  died,  Oct.  1684.  In  1672,  he  was  the  first  of  the  subscribers  to 
the  fundamental  articles  for  the  plantation  of  Woodbury  (Pomparague),  Conn.  He 
m.,  about  1640,  Sarah  Mitchell,  daughter  of  Matthew,  of  Wethersfield,  afterwards  of 
Stamford,  sister  of  Rev.  Jonathan  Mitchell,  of  Cambridge.  [For  a  Genealogy  of  his 
family  and  descendants,  see  Cothren's  Hist,  of  Woodbury,  p.  682  ;  also,  p.  633.] 
He  was  a  magistrate,  1664,  and,  at  a  General  Assembly,  Oct.  13,  1664,  the  Court 
granted  him  "  a  farm  of  250  acres  of  land  upon  New  Haven  River,  whereof  50  acres 
may  be  meadow,  so  it  be  out  of  the  bounds  of  the  town."

Palmer,  p.  865,  and  Porter,  p.  910].  Capt.  John  Sherman  was  Rep.  again  in  1682. 
At  a  court,  in  June,  1654,  Serg.  Sherman  was  accepted  as  Ensign  of  Watertown 
company,  and  he  did  not  attain  the  rank  of  Captain  until  1680,  or,  perhaps,  1681,  when 
he  was  about  67  years  old.  His  residence  or  homestall  (which  passed  to  his  son 
Joseph),  consisting  of  two  parcels  of  land,  was  bounded  as  follows,  viz.:  30  acres, 
bounded  N.  by  Strawberry  Hill;  E.  by  Capt.  Bond  and  John  Perry;  S.  by  Joshua 
Whitney  (what  had  been  the  homestall  of  his  father,  John  Whitney),  Nathan  Fiske, 
and  Henry  Spring;  W.  by  a  lane  or  highway.  Also,  14  acres,  bounded  E.  by  said 
lane;  N.  by  Strawberry  Hill;  W.  by  Nathaniel  Bright;  S.  by  Nathan  Fiske  and

[50.]  Rev.  John  Sherman  was  dismissed  May  29,  1635.  from  Waterlovvn  Church  to 
Wethersfield.  He  resided  in  Wethersfield  until  after  May  7,  1640,  when  the  Court  of 
Connecticut  ordered  that  "Mr.  John  Sherman,  of  Wethersfield,  be  freed  from  watching 
until  the  Court  take  further  order."  His  name  is  on  the  list  of  free  planters  of  Milford, 
Conn.,  Nov.  20,  1639,  and  he  was  admitted  to  the  Church  of  Milford,  Nov.  8,  1640. 
At  a  General  Court  of  New  Haven,  Nov.  24,  1640,  he  was  one  of  the  five  persons 
chosen  magistrates  of  the  plantation  [Colony  of  New  Haven].  At  a  General  Court, 
May  27,  1641,  "John  Sherman  is,  till  the  next  Court  of  Election,  to  join  with  four 
others  [the  other  magistrates,  Wm.  Fowler,  Edmond  Tappe,  Zechariah  Whitman,  and 
John  Astwood],  in  dividing  of  land,  and  to  receive  inhabitants."  In  Nov.,  1643,  his 
possessions  were  a  house,  lot  44  acres,  meadow  9|  A.,  and  upland  20  A.  He  was 
invited  to  become  a  minister  of  Milford,  but  declined.  He  was  dismissed  from  Mil- 
ford Church,  Nov.  8,  1647,  which  was  probably  about  the  date  of  his  return  and 
settlement  in  Watertown,  where  he  had  a  child  born  less  than  three  months  after- 
wards. There  is  no  record  in  Wethersfield  or  Milford  of  either  of  his  marriages,  or 
of  the  births  of  his  children.  The  births  of  only  5  (not  7)  of  his  children  are  recorded 
in  Watertown,  although  several  others  were  undoubtedly  born  there.  [For  an  ac- 
count of  his  eminent  talents,  learning,  services,  and  Christian  character,  see  Mather's

450.  STEARNS. — (Sterne  and  Sternes,  in  the  early  records.)  In  the  distribution 
of  :( the  farms"  or  farm  lauds  (situated  in  Weston),  according  to  an  order  of  the  town, 
passed  May  10,  1642,  259  acres  were  allotted  Isaac  Sterne,  which  was  a  greater  lot 
than  was  assigned  to  any  others,  except  John  Barnard,  who  had  287  acres,  and  John 
Knight,  who  had  270  acres.  The  next  greatest  was  250  A.  to  John  Bisco  ;  next,  209 
to  Henry  Goldstone  ;  next,  158  to  Simon  Stone.  The  farms  then  granted  were  not 
surveyed  and  plotted  out  for  the  grantees  until  after  the  lapse  of  many  years.  Soon 
after  the  grant  of  the  farms  above  mentioned,  a  list  of  possessions  in  Watertown  was 
made  out,  wherein  it  appears  that  Isaac  Sterne,  in  1643,  held  13  lots,  amounting  to 
471  acres.  One  lot  of  10  A.,  and  another  of  60  A.,  he  had  recently  purchased  of 
Thomas  Ruck,  and  two  of  his  lots  were  homestalls.  By  a  deed,  dated  Jan.  23,  1645-6, 
he  purchased  of  Thomas  Philbrick  6  lots  of  land,  amounting  to  113  A.;  which,  added 


938  STEARNS. 

to  his  other  possessions,  would  increase  his  number  of  lots  to  19,  and  his  number  of 
acres  to  584.  which  would  be  more  lots  and  more  acres  than  appears  to  have  been 
then  held  by  any  other  proprietor.  It  is  supposed  that  he  first  settled  near  Mount 
Auburn,  but  that  in  a  few  years  he  moved  to  a  lot  on  the  east  side  of  "  the  way  to 
Concord,"  now  called  Lexington  Street,  on  the  west  border  of  Pequusset  Meadow. 
The  homestall  which  he  bought  of  Thomas  Philbrick,  situated  on  the  N.  W.  corner 
of  Belmont  and  Lexington  Streets,  he  gave  to  his  son  Samuel,  who  settled  there;  and 
it  continued  to  be  occupied  by  his  direct  descendants,  of  the  name  of  Stearns,  until 
after  the  decease  of  his  great  great  grandson,  Capt.  Phinehas  Stearns,  in  1798.  Since 
then  it  has  been  held  by  his  descendants  of  the  name  of  White, 
p.  451.  It  is  stated  in  the  first  paragraph,  p.  451,  that  families  of  the  name  of  Starn  and 
Stern,  in  the  Middle  and  Southern  States,  are  of  German  origin.  This  may  be  in  part 
correct,  especially  in  Pennsylvania,  but  not  entirely  so  as  to  the  Carolinas,  Georgia, 
and  Tennessee.  See  [40],  pp.  554,  and  948. 
p.  453.  [9.]  John  Stearns  was  town  clerk  of  Billerica  two  years,  and  he  was  one  of  the 
Committee  on  the  part  of  Billerica  at  the  mutual  agreement,  in  1654.  for  the  separation 
of  Billerica  [Shawshin]  from  Cambridge.  In  1658,  he  was  constable.  For  m.  (3d), 
1684,  read,  m.  (3d),  June  29,  1687. 

[10-3.]  In  1675,  Samuel  Stearns  [then  aged  16],  son  of  John,  of  Billerica,  d., 
"  was  disabled,"  and  the  Court  ordered  that  Lieut.  French,  who  had  married  his 
mother,  should  have  the  charge  of  him.  In  April,  1722,  the  selectmen  of  Billerica 
presented  a  petition  to  the  Court  about  Samuel  Stearns,  an  impotent  and  discomposed 
person,  who  had  been  for  some  time  taken  care  of  by  Capt.  John  Stearns  and  Isaac 
Stearns,  his  brethren,  8  acres  of  land  in  the  centre  of  the  town  belonging  to  Samuel, 
being  in  the  possession  of  Isaac,  that  they  (the  selectmen)  may  have  the  same  [land] 
towards  his  support.  Feb.  24,  1702-3,  Mary  Mixer  gave  to  her  son,  Samuel  Stearns, 
24  poles  of  land,  a  share  of  the  estate  of  her  first  husband,  John  Stearns,  which  had 
been  divided  in  Oct.,  1687.

Record.]  The  marriage  in  the  text  is  that  recorded  in  Tolland  records  by  Shubael 
himself,  when  he  was  town  clerk.  It  is  stated,  on  page  554,  that  Shubael  Stearns  [40], 
with  his  large  family,  left  Connecticut,  about  1750,  on  account  of  ecclesiastical  diffi- 
culties, and  that  he  settled  in  North  Carolina.  He  and  his  family  were  Baptists,  and 
some  of  them,  especially  his  son  Shubael,  and  son-in-law  Daniel  Marshall,  have 
exercised  a  great  influence  upon  the  religious  sentiments  of  the  South.  This  son  was 
at  the  time  of  their  migration  about  44  years  old,  and  he  has  been  called  a  Boanerges. 
He  first  halted  at  Opeckoa,  in  Berkely  Co.,  Virginia,  where  he  founded  a  church.  He 
there  met  Rev.  Daniel  Marshall,  who  had  married  his  youngest  sister,  Martha,  and 
who  went  from  Tolland  on  a  mission  among  the  Indians.  From  Opeckoa,  they 
moved  into  Hampshire  Co.,  30  miles  from  Winchester,  Va.  Some  of  his  friends,  who 
had  gone  to  N.  Carolina,  invited  him  to  come  to  them ;  and  he  accepted,  and  settled 
at  Sandy  Creek,  Guilford  Co.,  N.  Carolina,  where  he  established  what  was  called  his 
New  Light  Church,  which  proved  to  be  the  prolific  mother  of  many  churches  at  the 
South.  He  d.  there,  Nov.  20,  1771.  When  the  family  moved  to  Virginia,  the  broad 
Virginia  pronunciation  was  given  to  the  name,  and  it  has  been  very  generally  written 
and  pronounced  Starnes. 

We  have  obtained  a  very  imperfect  genealogy  of  the  family  and  descendants  of  Shu- 
bael Stearns,  who  have  become  widely  dispersed  and  very  numerous.  Of  the  family 
of  Shubael,  Jr.  [41],  the  very  successful  preacher,  nothing  has  been  learned.  His 
brother  Peter  [43],  had  5  children.  [See  p.  554.]  Charles,  the  eldest,  settled  in 
Charleston,  S.  C.,  where  he  died,  and  was  buried  in  the  Cemetery  of  the  Circular 
Church.     His  daughter  Mary,  m.  Capt.  Thomas  Commander  Russell,  an  officer  in  the 

Continental  line  in  the  Revolution.     Hepzibah,  a  daughter  of  Isaac  [44],  m. 

Welborn,  and  they  are  the  ancestors  of  the  large  family  of  that  name,  in  N.  Carolina, 
Georgia,  and  Tennessee.  Ebenezer  [48],  after  he  went  to  the  South,  m.  (2d)  Eliza- 
beth Young,  of  Buncombe  Co.,  N.  Carolina.  About  the  time  of  the  Revolution,  he 
moved  into  S.  Carolina,  and  afterwards  into  Columbia  Co.,  Ga.,  where  he  died.  His 
children  were,  1.  Dr.  Samuel  Scott  Starnes.  2.  Daniel,  who  m.  his  cousin,  Harriet  E. 
Russell,  a  daughter  of  Capt.  T.  C.  and  Mary  (Starnes)  Russell,  and  he  is  the  father  of 

Judge  Ebenezer  Starnes,  of  Augusta,  Ga.     3.  John  Starnes,  m.  Ware,  now 

living  in  Tennessee,  an  aged  man.  4.  Mary,  m.  Rhodam  Falloss,  Esq.  5.  Ebenezer, 
m. Harvey,  and  had  son  William,  a  physician,  and  other  children. 

Rev.  Daniel  Marshall,  who  married  Martha  [50],  the  youngest  dr.  of  Shubael  Stearns, 
was  a  son  of  Abraham  Marshall,  of  Comfecticut,  and  was  very  distinguished  and 
influential  as  a  preacher.  His  son  Abraham,  was  also  a  very  distinguished  Baptist 
preacher  of  Georgia.  [See  Benedict's  History  of  the  Baptists,  published  in  1848,  pp. 
646,  683,  84,  85,  86,  and  87.]

Williamson's  company.  It  is  not  ascertained  who  this  Jonathan  was.  It  is  evident 
that  it  could  not  have  been  Jonathan  [64],  unless  there  is  a  mistake  in  the  date  of  his 
decease;  and  it  could  not  be  his  son.     VVas  it  [544],  p.  578?

STICKLAND. — (Stickline,  Strickland.)  Serj.  John  Stickland,  applied  to  be  adm. 
freeman,  Oct.,  1630  :  was  adm.  May  18,  1631.  He  was  probably  one  of  that  small 
company  that  was  sent  from  Salem  to  Charlestown,  in  1629,  to  take  possession  of 
Massachusetts  Bay,  and  from  Charlestown  went  very  early,  perhaps  with  Sir  Richard 
Saltonstall,  to  Watertown.  He  was  member  of  a  jury  of  inquest  Sept  18,  1630,  and 
in  May.  1631,  of  a  trial  jury.  Sept.  4,  1632,  he  was  fined  £3,  for  refusing  watch  at 
the  Captain's  [Patrick]  command.  This  fine  was  discharged  by  the  Court,  Sept.  1638. 
He  sold  his  homestall  in  Wat.,  to  John  Whitney  (who  made  it  his  permanent  resi- 
dence), and  went  with  first  settlers  to  plant  Watertown  (Wethersfield),  Conn.  He 
was  dismissed  from  Wat.  Church,  May  29,  1635,  "to  forme  a  newe  in  Ch.  Covennte, 
in  this  River  of  Coneclecot."  He  was  probably  the  ancestor  of  all  the  families  of 
the  name  of  Strickland,  in  New  England  and  Long  Island. 

p.  583.  STIMSON.— [1.]  Jonathan  Stimson  was  wit.  in  court  Sept.  8,  1674,  then  aged 
30,  showing  that  he  was  bom  1644.  From  the  3d  line,  strike  out,  he  m.  (2d)  Abigail, 
by  whom  he  had  one  child.  He  had  no  2d  wife.  Admin,  on  his  estate  was  granted 
wid.  Elizabeth,  Mar.  13,  1692-3.  July  16,  1667.  Abigail  Benjamin,  John  Woodward 
and  Abigail,  his  wife,  for  sundry  considerations,  sold  to  Jonathan  Stimson,  of  Wat., 
99  A.,  b.  W.  by  Daniel  Mettup  ;  E.  by  Daniel  Andrews;  N.  by  Christopher  Grant;  S.

mentions  the  following  children :  James  (eldest  son),  Benjamin,  Jonathan,  Joseph, 
Samuel.  John,  Abel;  Abigail,  Rebecca,  Elizabeth,  wife  of  William  Harvey,  Mary,  d., 
whose  funeral  expenses  the  admin'x  charged. 
[5.]  Mary,  d.  unm.  [6.1  Elizabeth,  in  the  settlement  of  the  estate,  was  wife  of  William 
Harvey.  It  is  probable  that  it  was  Elizabeth,  wid.  of  Jonathan  Simson  [lj,  who  m., 
Mar.  12,  1700-1,  Richard  Barns,  of  Marlboro. 
[11.]  Strike  out,  (by  2d  wife).     In  the  record  of  the  decease  of  this  John,  he  is  said  to 

be  a  son  of  Jonathan  and  (?)  Abigail.

128],  read,  [see  Mid.  Prob.  Rec,  II.,  128.]  The  Warners  were  not  mentioned  in  his 
Will,  but  in  that  of  his  wife,  Sarah.  The  tradition  in  the  family  is  that  Joan,  the  wife 
of  Deacon  Simon  Stone,  who  embarked  with  him  for  America,  was  a  daughter  of 
William  Clark.  His  last  wife,  Sarah  [wid.  of  Richard  Lumpkin],  in  her  Will,  made 
a  bequest  of  £60  to  her  kinsman,  John  Warner,  and  John  and  Daniel  Warner,  were 
residuary  legatees.  It  is  not  improbable,  from  anything  yet  discovered,  that  in  her 
Will,  for  Warner,  we  should  read  Warren.  John  Warren,  of  Wat.,  had  only  two 
sons,  John  and  Daniel,  and  each  of  them  had  a  daughter  Sarah,  although  neither 
their  mother,  nor  either  of  their  wives,  bore  that  name.  The  homestall  of  Dea.  Simon 
Stone,  of  40  acres,  was  on  the  south  of  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery,  and  probably  it 
embraced  a  part  of  the  land,  which  was  included  in  it.  formerly  called  Stone's  Woods

correct,  she  was  probably  the  wife  of  Lieut.  Nathaniel  Stearns,  of  Dedham.     [See  p. 
580.]

STURGEON. — Rev.  Robert  Sturgeon,  was  one  of  those  who  officiated  some  time 
in  the  church  gathered  by  Rev.  Mr.  Angier.  He  had  some  strenuous  opposers  in  the 
town,  but  was  sustained  by  the  church,  or  a  large  part  of  it,  embracing  many  of  the 
most  respectable  persons  in  the  town.    Jan.  11,  1721-2,  sixty-three  of  the  substantial

citizens,  signed  an  obligation  to  pay  him  a  salary  of  £84  per  annum.  Aug.  28,  1722, 
caution  by  selectmen  of  Wat.,  against  (settlement  of)  "  Robert  Sturgeon,  who  came 
from  Wobum,  Dec,  1721,  being  a  stranger  arrived  from  Ireland."  Jan.  9,  1722-3, 
information  was  lodged  against  him,  and  he  was  obliged  to  give  bonds  (£100 — 
Joshua  Bigelow  and  Joseph  Harrington,  sureties,)  for  his  appearance  at  court.  At 
the  Court,  Mar.  12,  1722-3,  the  grand  jury  found  an  indictment  against  him,  charging 
him  with  "preaching  and  administering  the  Holy  Ordinances,  and  acting  as  a  pastor 
to  the  pretended  church  in  Watertown,"  and  "  continuing  his  wicked  and  malicious 
inclinations  to  overthrow,  ruin,  and  subvert,  as  well  the  churches  of  said  Watertown, 
as  the  other  churches  of  this  province,  here  happily  and  religiously  established,"  &c. 
&c.  He  was  found  guilty,  and  fined  £20  and  costs;  appealed,  and  gave  as  security 
Ebenezer  and  Thomas  Wellington* 

SWAIN". — (Swaine,  Swayne.)  In  the  list  of  the  possessions  of  Dea.  Simon  Stone, 
in  1642,  are  included  8  acres  (part  of  his  homestall),  and  2}  acres  of  meadow,  bought 
of  l:  John  Swaine."  Is  not  this  a  misnomer  for  William  Swain?  William  Swaine, 
then  aged  50,  embarked  with  Clement  Chaplin,  in  the  Elizabeth  and  Ann,  in  Ap., 
1635,  was  adm.  freeman,  Mar.  3,  1635-6;  Rep.  of  Wat.,  in  May,  1636;  and,  about 
that  time,  with  other  Watertown  people,  he  moved  to  Wethersfield,  Conn.,  and  was  a 
member  of  the  third  court  in  the  colony,  held  Sept.  1.  1636,  and  of  the  several  suc- 
ceeding ones.  He,  and  Andrew  Ward,  of  Watertown,  were  two  of  the  commissioners 
appointed  by  the  Gen.  Court,  Mar.  3,  1635-6,  "  to  govern  the  people  at  Connecticut." 
He  left  Wethersfield  about  1644,  with  others,  to  commence  the  plantation  of  Bran- 
ford.  These  very  early  appointments  to  office  imply  a  very  good  repute.  He  could 
have  resided  in  Watertown  only  one  year.     See  Colonial  Records,  I.,  p.  171. 

SWIFT. — In  1636,  William  Swift  mortgaged  his  house  and  lands  in  Wat.,  to  John 
Haines,  Atty  of  Andrew  Coleman,  in  England,  to  whom  Swift  had  given  his  name 
as  joint  security  in  a  matter  where  Roger  Spring  was  the  principal  debtor.  [See 
Colon.  Records,  Sept.  1,  1640.] 


TABOR. — Philip  Tabor,  adm.  freeman,  May  14,  1634;  was  proprietor  of  5  lots  of 
land  in  Wat.,  which  he  sold  to  John  Woolcot.  His  wife  was,  probably,  Lydia,  dr.  of 
Mr.  John  Masters,  of  Watertown.  [See  Geneal.  Reg.,  II.,  p.  180.]  Philip  Tabor, 
member  of  Watertown  Church,  but  residing  in  Yarmouth,  had  son  John,  bap.  in  Y., 
Nov.  8,  1640.

*  Soon  after  the  decease  of  Mr.  Angier,  a  controversy  arose  about  a  division  of  the  town  into  two  precincts, 
and  about  the  location  of  the  two  meeting-houses.  These  subjects  were  referred  to  the  General  Court,  who  ap- 
pointed a  committee  of  3  of  the  Council,  and  4  of  the  House  of  Representatives;  and  they  reported  Dec.  3, 1720, 
Ihe  boundary  between  the  two  precincts  (which  was  surveyed  Dec.  13);  and  that  the  New  or  Western  [Mr.  An- 
gier's]  meeting-house,  shall  be  removed  within  two  years  to  the  rising  ground  20  rods  west  of  Nathaniel  Liver- 
more,  or  a  new  one  built ;  and  that  within  10  years,  the  Old  or  East  meeting-house  be  removed,  or  a  new  one 
built  on  Schoolhouse  Hill,  Ap.  29,  1721 ;  at  a  town-meeting,  it  was  voted  to  remove  the  meeting-houses.  Many  of 
those  best  accomodated  with  the  Angier  meeting-house  where  it  was,  were  not  disposed  to  accept  or  comply 
with  the  report  of  the  committee,  and  determined  to  maintain  worship,  where  it  had  been  done  for  aljout  25  years. 
For  this  purpose,  they  employed  Mr.  Sturgeon,  as  their  pastor;  and  his  concurrence  in  their  purpose  appears  to 
have  been  the  only  ground  of  the  heinous  charges  brought  against  him.

p.  651.  WHITTEMORE.— (Whittamore,  Whitamore,  Whitmore,  Wetmore,  &c.)  Mr. 
Farmer  appears  to  consider  these  names  as  only  a  varied  orthography  of  one  name. 
Those,  however,  who  have  carefully  investigated  the  subject,  have  concluded  that 
there  were  three  distinct  names  and  families  (Whittemore,  Whitmore,  and  Wetmore), 
between  whom,  there  has  been  discovered  no  early  consanguinity.  Gentlemen  are 
now  engaged  in  investigating  the  genealogy  of  the  Whittemores  and  Whitmores,  and 
will  probably  fully  elucidate  this  subject.  On  pages  652  and  53,  under  one  name 
(Whittemore),  are  mentioned  families,  who  were  distinct  in  their  name  and  lineage; 
one  portion  of  them  being  Whittemores,  and  the  other  Whitmores.  We  here  insert 
so  much  as  to  correct  the  error  referred  to,  with  a  little  additional  information.

THE  EARLY  HISTORY   OE  WATERTOWN, 

MASSACHUSETTS; 

INCLUDING  WALTHAM   AND   WESTON. 


THE  PLANTING  OF  WATERTOWN. 

§  1.  In  March,  1628,  the  Plymouth  Company  sold  to  a  company  of  sis  gentle- 
meu,  in  England,  the  territory  extending  from  a  line  three  miles  north  of  Merrimack 
River,  to  one  three  miles  south  of  Charles  River,  and  from  the  Atlantic  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean.  These  grantees*  soon  afterwards  conveyed  to  other  gentlemen  an 
interest  in  their  purchase,  and  the  number  of  joint  proprietors  soon  became  much 
enlarged.  They  assumed  the  title  of  "  The  Massachusetts  Bay  Company,"  and  in  a 
few  days  chose  Matthew  Cradock,  a  wealthy  merchant  of  London,  Governor,  and 
Thomas  Goffe,  also  a  merchant  of  London,  Deputy-Governor.  A  charter  for  their 
Company  was  not  obtained  from  Charles  I.  until  the  next  year,  March  4,  1628-9 ; 
but  in  June,  1628,  three  months  after  making  the  purchase,  a  company  of  emigrants 
was  sent  over,  who  landed  at  Salem,  and  commenced  the  settlement  of  that 
ancient  town. 

§  2.  Captain  John  Endicott,  one  of  the  original  purchasers  of  the  Plymouth 
Company,  was  appointed  Governor  of  this  little  colony ;  but  it  is  to  be  observed  that 
he  was  not  made  Governor  of  the  Company,  as  the  Governor  and  government  thereof 
then  remained  in  England,  and  gave  him  his  instructions.  Mr.  Roger  Conant,  with 
.three  others,  had  fixed  their  abode  at  Salem  previously  to  the  arrival  of  Endicott 
and  his  company;  but  as  Conant  was  not  sent  there  by  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Com- 

*  These  original  grantees  were  Sir  Henry  Rosewell,  Sir  John  Young,  Thomas  Southcott,  John 
Humfrcy,  John  Endicott,  and  Simon  Whetcombe. 

The  patentees,  to  whom  the  charter  of  the  colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  was  granted,  were 
Sir  Henry  Rosewell,  Sir  John  Young,  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  Thomas  Southcott,  John  llumfrey, 
John  Endicott,  Simon  Whetcombe,  Isaac  Jolmsoji,  Samuel  Aldersey,  John  Yen,  Matthew  Cra- 
dock, George  Harwood,  Increase  Nowell,  Richard  Pery,  Richard  Bellinyham,  Nathaniel  Wright, 
Samuel  Vassall,  Theophilus  Eaton,  Thomas  Goffe,  Thomas  Adams,  John  Browne,  Samuel 
Browne,  Thomas  Hutchins,  William  Vassall,  William  Pinchion,  and  George  Foxcrofte. 

The  names  of  those  who  came  to  Massachusetts  Bay  are  printed  in  italics.  Mr.  John 
Winthrop  was  neither  an  original  grantee  nor  a  patentee  ;  and  the  first  time  his  name  appears 
in  the  records  of  the  Company  was  September  19th,  1629,  after  it  had  been  determined  to 
transfer  the  government  and  patent  to  the  colony.

pany,  his  plantation  there,  with  his  very  few  companions,  has  not  been  allowed  to 
give  date  to  the  town. 

§  3.  In  July,  1629,  Governor  Cradock  proposed  to  the  Company  to  transfer  the 
government  of  the  plantation  from  England  to  the  colony — "■  to  those  that  shall 
inhabit  there."  A  meeting  of  the  Company  was  called  together,  August  28th,  to 
discuss  the  question  about  such  a  removal.  On  the  same  day  it  was  ordered  that 
one  committee  be  appointed  to  prepare  arguments  in  favor  of  a  removal,  at  the  head 
of  which  was  placed  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall;  and  another  committee  to  prepare 
arguments  against  it.  On  the  next  day,  August  29th,  after  long  debate,  it  was 
determined  by  a  vote  to  be  "  the  consent  of  the  Company,"  that  "the  Government 
patent  should  be  settled  in  New  England."  At  a  "  Court"  (meeting  of  the  Com- 
pany), on  the  19th  of  October,  it  was  determined  that  a  Governor  and  assistants 
should  be  chosen  for  New  England,  and  the  next  day,  Mr.  John  Wiuthrop  was 
chosen  Governor,  and  Mr.  John  Humfrey,  Deputy-Governor.  At  the  last  court  of 
the  Company  held  in  England,  March  23,  1629-30,  on  board  the  Arbella,  Mr. 
Thomas  Dudley  was  elected  Deputy-Governor  in  place  of  Mr.  Humfrey,  who  had 
concluded  not  to  go  to  New  England  at  that  time. 

§  4.  After  determining  to  remove  the  government  of  the  Company  to  the  colony, 
and  electing  a  Governor  and  assistants  with  that  view,  active  preparations  were  made 
for  a  large  emigration  the  ensuing  year.  Seventeen  emigrant  ships  left  England  in 
the  year  1630,  of  which  fourteen  sailed  before  the  first  of  June.  The  first  ship,  the 
Lyon,  sailed  in  February,  and  arrived  in  Salem  in  May,  where  the  passengers 
probably  remained,  awaiting  the  arrival  of  their  expected  companions,  with  the 
Governor  and  assistants.  The  next  ship,  the  Mary  and  John,  carrying  the  Dor- 
chester company,  who  first  planted  Dorchester,  sailed  from  Plymouth  on  the  20th  of 
March,  and  arrived  at  Nantasket,  Sunday,  May  30th,  fourteen  days  before  the 
arrival  of  the  Governor.  On  the  8th  of  April,  four  ships,  the  Arbella,  the  Jewell, 
the  Ambrose,  and  the  Talbot,  sailed  from  the  Isle  of  Wight,  bringing  the  Governor, 
Deputy-Governor,  several,  if  not  all,  of  the  assistants,  Rev.  George  Phillips,  Rev. 
John  Wilson,  and  others,  who  afterwards  held  prominent  places  in  the  early  history 
of  the  colony.  The  Arbella  arrived  at  Salem,  June  12th,  the  Jewell,  June  13th, 
the  Ambrose,  June  18th,  and  the  Talbot,  July  2d. 

§  5.  The  passengers  who  arrived  in  these  ships  were  not  satisfied  with  Salem,  as 
possessing  the  desirable  advantages  for  a  permanent  settlement,  and  soon  after 
landing,  Governor  Winthrop  and  Sir  R.  Saltonstall,  with  others,  went,  on  the  17th 
of  June,  to  reconnoitre  the  country  about  the  Bay,  for  the  purpose  of  selecting  a 
place  for  settlement.  Having  selected  the  peninsula  of  Charlestown  for  that  pur- 
pose, they  returned  to  Salem,  and,  as  soon  and  as  fast  as  preparations  could  be  made 
for  their  accommodation,  the  passengers  of  the  fleet  proceeded  from  Salem  to 
Charlestown. 

§  6.  In  the  Arbella  came  over  the  families  of  Sir  R.  Saltonstall,  Rev.  George 
Phillips,  and  probably  not  less  than  a  dozen  other  families,  who  were  among  the  first 
settlers  of  Watertown.  In  the  addenda  to  Winthrop's  Journal,  Vol.  II.  p.  340,  is 
the  copy  of  a  catalogue  of  names,  in  the  handwriting  of  Governor  Winthrop,  which 
the  editor,  Mr.  Savage,  supposed  to  be  a  list  of  persons  designing  to  come  over,  and 
that  the  first  list  contained  the  intended  passengers  for  one  of  the  ships.  This  must 
have  been  the  Arbella,  as  on  that  list  are  the  names  of  Mr.  Wiuthrop,  Sir  Richard, 
and  others,  who  are  known  to  have  come  in  this  ship.  On  that  list  are  also  the 
names  of  fifteen  very  early  Watertown  families. 

§  7.  Soon  after  the  removal  of  the  emigrants  from  Salem  to  Charlestown,  a  large 
portion  of  them,  with  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall  as  their  leader,  accompanied  by  Rev. 
George  Phillips  as  their  pastor,  proceeded  about  four  miles  up  Charles  River  and 
commenced  a  settlement,  at  first  sometimes  called  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall's  planta- 
tion, but  soon  after,  by  the  Court,  named  Watertown.  It  is  difficult  to  determine 
the  date  of  the  removal  from  Salem  to  Charlestown,  as  it  was  probably  a  gradual 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  979 

process ;  nor  is  the  exact  date  known,  when  Sir  Richard  and  his  followers  left  the 
latter  place  for  Watertown.  But  their  stay  in  Charlestown  must  have  been  short; 
for  only  forty-eight  days  elapsed  after  the  landing  of  Sir  Richard  at  Salem,  before 
Watertown  affairs  had  become  sufficiently  matured  to  organize  a  church,  when  forty 
men,  with  Sir  Richard  at  the  head,  signed  the  covenant. 

§  8.  It  seems  clear  that  only  three  towns  in  the  colony  can  claim  priority  of  set- 
tlement over  Watertown.  The  Jirst,  or  oldest,  is  Salem,  settled  in  1628.  The  second 
is  Charlestown,  which  was  first  settled  by  a  feeble  colony  of  about  a  dozen  men,  sent 
thither  from  Salem  about  the  last  of  June,  1629,  by  Governor  Endicott,  by  order  of 
the  Company,  in  order  to  forestall  Mr.  Oldham  in  taking  possession  of  that  part  of 
the  Bay,  which  his  patent  covered.  The  third  was  Dorchester,  which  was  planted 
by  the  Dorchester  men,  who  arrived  at  Nantasket  in  the  Mary  and  John,  May  30, 
1680.  The  fourth  town  was  Watertown,  begun  by  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall  probably 
before  the  middle  of  July.  On  the  day  of  the  landing  of  the  passengers  of  the 
Mary  and  John  at  Nantasket  (Sunday,  May  30th),  ten  of  their  number,  embracing 
some  of  their  chief  personages,  obtained  a  boat  and  proceeded  first  to  Charlestown, 
and  thence  up  Charles  River  about  five  miles,  and  landed  at  a  place  in  Watertown, 
long  afterwards  known  as  "Dorchester  Field,"  on  or  near  which  is  now  built  the 
U.  S.  Arsenal.  As  they  landed  in  planting  time,  it  is  supposed  that  they  planted 
crops,  which  they  returned  to  gather,  and  hence  the  name,  Dorchester  Field.  They 
had,  however,  staid  there  "not  many  days,"  when  they  were  required  to  join  their 
companions,  who  had  in  the  meantime  moved  from  Nantasket  to  Matapan,  soon  after 
named  Dorchester.  If  this  short  residence  and  planting,  by  the  Dorchester  men, 
were  deemed  a  settlement,  Watertown  might  claim  priority  over  Dorchester;  but  it 
has  never  been  so  considered. 

§  9.  That  a  large  number  of  settlers  accompanied  Sir  Richard  to  Watertown,  or 
very  soon  followed  him,  is  evident  from  the  following  considerations  :  In  the  first 
place,  "about  forty  men"  signed  the  covenant  on  the  30th  of  July.  It  is  known 
that  some  of  them,  probably  most  of  them,  had  families.  The  number  of  female 
members  is  not  stated.  There  is  good  reason  to  believe  that  others,  some  of  them 
having  large  families,  did  not  then  sign  the  covenant,  not  being  entitled  to  church 
membership.  In  the  next  place,  on  the  30th  of  November,  only  four  months  later, 
the  Court  of  Assistants  passed  an  order  to  collect  of  the  several  plantations,  except 
Salem  and  Dorchester,  £60,  for  the  maintenance  of  the  two  ministers ;  and  the  por- 
tion of  the  several  towns  was  as  follows  :  Boston,  £20  ;  Watertown,  £20  ;  Charles- 
town, £10;  Roxbury,  £6  ;  Medford,  £3  ;  Winnesemet,  £1.  When  it  is  considered 
that,  at  this  time,  most  of  the  office-holders  and  men  of  large  estates,  except  Sir 
Richard,  belonged  to  Boston  and  Charlestown,  and  that  assessments  were  made 
according  to  estates  or  possessions,  it  is  not  unreasonable  to  suppose  that  the  popula- 
tion of  Watertown  was  then  equal  to  that  of  Boston  and  Charlestown.  It  is  also  to 
be  observed  that  one-half  of  that  whole  assessment  was  assigned  to  Mr.  Phillips,  the 
minister  of  Watertown. 

§  10.  Until  the  end  of  the  first  year  (1630),  all  the  plantations  and  people  in  the 
colony,  excepting  Salem  and  Dorchester,  appear  to  have  been  regarded  as  two 
churches  or  congregations,  with  their  two  pastors,  between  whom  the  assessment  for 
pastoral  maintenance  was  to  be  equally  divided.  One  of  them  was  the  church 
organized  in  Charlestown,  embracing  Boston,  and  probably  the  few  people  of  Rox- 
bury, Medford,  and  Winnesemet.  Here  Governor  Winthrop  eugaged  to  provide 
accommodation  for  the  minister,  Mr.  Wilson.  The  other  church  was  that  organized 
in  Watertown,  where  Sir  Richard  engaged  to  provide  for  the  minister,  Mr.  Phillips. 


980  APPENDIX   I. 


THE   ORGANIZATION  AND   AGE   OF   THE   CHURCH. 

§  11.  There  is  a  question  respecting  dates,  in  which  Watertown  is  interested,  that 
has  engaged  the  earnest  attention  of  several  inquirers.  It  relates  to  the  chronology 
of  the  very  early  churches  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  and  writers  have  differed  in  their 
conclusions.  Dr.  Holmes  [Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  1st  ser.  vii.,  p.  15]  places  them  in  the 
following  order  of  dates:  1,  Salem;  2,  Charlestown;  3,  Dorchester;  4,  Roxbury; 
5,  Lynn  ;  6,  Watertown.  Captain  Edward  Johnson  makes  Boston  church  (organized 
in  Charlestown)  the  fourth,  and  Watertown  the  seventh  church.  Rev.  Samuel 
Sewall  [Am.  Quar.  Reg.  xi.,  p.  48]  considers  Charlestown  the  third  church,  yet  he 
afterwards  presents  reasons  for  considering  the  churches  organized  at  Charlestown 
and  Watertown  coeval.  Dr.  Kendall,  after  a  lucid  collation  of  historical  authori- 
ties, says,  "  If  there  be  no  mistake  in  the  historical  facts  now  adduced,  it  would  seem 
that  Watertown  church  had  a  prior  existence  to  the  one  at  Charlestown,  and  was 
second  only  to  that  of  Salem,  in  Massachusetts  Bay."  [Centennial  Discourse,  p.  21.] 
At  the  end  of  this  discourse  is  a  very  elaborate  note  by  "A.  H."  (Dr.  Holmes),  in 
which  he  attempts  to  invalidate  Dr.  Kendall's  conclusions,  chiefly  by  arguing  from 
the  usages  of  the  churches,  but  overlooking  an  important  element  in  the  argument. 

§  12.  Salem  church  may,  without  doubt,  claim  the  priority.  The  first  church  of 
Dorchester  was  the  second,  or  next  oldest.  The  people  who  collected  together  at 
Plymouth,  England,  in  order  to  embark  in  the  Mary  and  John,  "  because  they  de- 
signed to  live  together  after  they  should  arrive  here,  met  together  in  the  New  Hos- 
pital in  Plymouth,  and  associated  into  church  fellowship,  and  chose  Mr.  Maverick 
and  Mr.  Warham  to  be  their  ministers."  This  was  probably  done  in  the  early  part 
of  March,  1630,  as  the  Mary  and  John  sailed  on  the  20th  of  that  month.  In  1(336, 
this  church,  or  a  large  part  of  it,  with  its  church  organization,  migrated  from  Dor- 
chester to  Windsor,  Connecticut,  and  of  course  ceased  to  be  a  church  of  Massachu- 
setts Bay.  After  this  removal,  the  remnant  of  the  church  left  in  Dorchester,  with 
Mr.  Richard  Mather  and  the  company  that  came  over  with  him,  united  and  organized 
another  church,  their  covenant  being  dated  August  23,  1636.  From  that  time  this 
has  been  the  oldest  church  in  Dorchester;  but  it  must  concede  the  priority  to  several 
other  churches. 

§  13.  Since  that  migration  to  Windsor,  Watertown  has  a  fair  claim  to  rank  as  the 
second  church  of  the  colony.  The  only  one  that  has  a  plausible  claim  to  be  even 
coeval,  is  the  first  church  of  Boston,  originally  organized  in  Charlestown. 

§  14.  Mather  says,  of  the  first  settlers  of  Watertown,  "  they  resolved  that  they 
would  combine  into  church  fellowship  as  their  first  work."  Upon  the  recommenda- 
tion of  the  Governor,  July  30,  1630,  was  observed  as  a  day  of  fasting  and  prayer 
by  the  people  both  of  Watertown  and  Charlestown.  This  religious  observance  was 
proposed  on  account  of  the  great  sickness  and  mortality  then  prevailing  in  Charles- 
town ;  and  other  churches,  including  that  of  Plymouth,  were  requested  to  observe 
the  same  day  in  the  same  manner.  There  is  no  evidence  that  Watertown  was  then 
afflicted  in  the  same  manner.  The  sufferings  of  the  people  of  Charlestown  were 
attributed  to  the  deficiency  of  good  water,  with  which  Watertown  was  abundantly 
supplied,  and  for  the  sake  of  which  they  are  said  to  have  selected  the  site  for  their 
settlement.  While  the  Watertown  people  sympathized  with  their  Christian  neigh- 
bors in  their  afflictions,  and  prayed  for  their  relief,  we  may  suppose  that  they  were 
not  so  much  engrossed  therewith  as  to  preclude  the  necessary  attention  to  what  they 
had  resolved  to  do  "as. their  first  work."  After  the  close  of  these  religious  exercises 
in  Watertown,  Mather  says,  "About  forty  men,  whereof  the  first  was  that  excellent 
knight,  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  then  subscribed  this  instrument,  in  order  unto  their 
coalesscence  into  a  church  estate ;"  and  he  inserts  the  covenant,  in  extenso,  "because  it 
was  one  of  the  Jirst  ecclesiastical  transactions  of  this  nature  managed  in  the  colony. 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  981 

But  in  after  time,  they  that  joined  unto  the  church  [evidently  implying  that  he 
regarded  it  as  a  duly  organized  church  from  the  date  of  that  covenant]  subscribed  a 
form  of  covenant  somewhat  altered,"  [implying  that  the  signing  of  that  first  cove- 
nant was  entering  into  church  fellowship].  Again,  Mather  says,  "A  church  of 
believers  being  thus  gathered  at  Watertown,  this  reverend  man  [Mr.  Phillips]  con- 
tinued for  divers  years  among  them,"  &c,  evidently  considering  the  ''ecclesiastical 
transaction"  on  the  30th  of  July,  as  "  the  gathering  and  ordering  of  the  church," 
and  the  subsequent  services  of  Mr.  Phillips,  as  a  continuance  to  fulfil  the  duties 
arising  from  the  relation  then  formed. 

§  15.  The  writer  of  the  elaborate  note  at  the  end  of  Dr.  Kendall's  discourse, 
already  referred  to,  attempts  to  show  from  the  usages  of  the  early  churches  of  New 
England,  that  the  signing  of  that  covenant,  on  the  80th  of  July,  "  was  but  a  prepa- 
ratory measure,"  only  the  first  step  taken  towards  the  organization  of  a  church,  a 
sort  of  extemporaneous,  unpremeditated  affair.  But,  in  the  first  place,  the  length 
and  elaborate  preparation  of  the  covenant,  and  the  number  of  men  who  signed  it  on 
that  occasion,  render  this  supposition  improbable.  In  the  next  place,  we  find  no 
reference  in  any  work  to  any  additional  proceedings  in  organizing  the  church ;  and  it 
is  extremely  improbable  that  Mather,  in  making  his  "  more  particular  recital"  of  the 
"gathering  and  ordering  of  the  church,"  would  have  said  so  much  about  a  mere 
"  preliminary  measure,"  and  made  no  reference  to  the  more  important  consummation 
thereof,  if  any  occurred.  In  the  third  place,  this  reasoning  from  the  usages  of  other 
churches  seems  to  be  materially  invalidated,  if  not  entirely  set  aside,  by  a  sentence 
in  Mather,  which  the  writer  of  the  note  has  entirely  overlooked ;  for  it  shows  that 
Mr.  Phillips  and  his  people  did  not  conform  to  those  usages,  or  rather  that  others 
did  not  follow  their  example.  "  Mr.  Phillips  being  better  acquainted  with  the  true 
church  discipline  [Congregationalism]  than  most  of  the  ministers  that  came  with  him 
into  the  country,  their  proceedings  [in  Watertown]  about  the  gathering  and  order- 
ing of  their  church  were  methodical  enough,  though  not  made  in  all  things  a  pattern 
for  all  the  rest."  Mr.  Phillips  was  the  first  to  assert  and  adopt  Independency  or 
Congregationalism  in  New  England,  and  Hubbard  says  that,  for  some  time,  he  "  was 
without  any  to  stand  by  him,"  and  that,  on  that  account,  "  he  met  with  much  oppo- 
sition from  some  of  the  magistrates."  In  noticing  the  ordination  of  Mr.  Knowles, 
as  colleague  of  Mr.  Phillips,  December  9,  1640,  Governor  Winthrop  says,  "  The 
church  of  Watertown  [not  a  council  of  ministers]  ordained  Mr.  Knowles,  *  *  *  * 
differing  from  the  practice  of  other  churches,  as  also  they  did  in  their  privacy,  not 
giving  notice  thereof  to  the  neighboring  churches,  nor  to  the  magistrates,  as  the 
common  practice  was."  These  statements  elucidate  the  organization  of  the  church 
in  Watertown,  and  they  show  what  validity  is  to  be  attached  to  Dr.  Holmes's  argu- 
ment from  the  usages  of  other  churches.     [See  pp.  "j"123  and  873.] 

§  16.  The  day  of  fasting  and  prayer  in  Charlestown  (July  30)  was  observed  in 
the  midst  of  a  great  affliction,  on  account  of  which  the  fast  was  especially  recom- 
mended ;  and  it  is  scarcely  supposable  that  the  people  were  then  in  circumstances  to 
attend  deliberately  and  so  promptly  to  their  ecclesiastical  interests,  even  if  they  had 
entertained  the  same  notions  of  church  discipline  and  order  as  did  Mr.  Phillips,  Sir 
Bichard  Saltonstall,  and  their  associates.  Accordingly,  at  the  close  of  the  religious 
services  on  that  day,  only  four  men  signed  a  covenant,  which  was  brief,  compared 
with  that  of  Watertown.  Two  days  afterwards,  five  others  signed  the  covenant,  and 
this  number  was  increased  by  repeated  accessions  until  the  27th  of  August,  when, 
says  Winthrop,  "  We  of  the  congregation  kept  a  fast  and  chose  Mr.  Wilson,  our 
teacher,  and  Mr.  Noel  an  elder,  and  Mr.  Gager  and  Mr.  Aspinwall,  deacons."  This 
gives  clearly  the  date  of  this  church,  which  soon  afterwards  became  the  first  church 
of  Boston.  That  this  was,  in  early  times,  and  for  a  long  time,  regarded  as  the  date 
of  the  organization  of  the  church,  is  clearly  shown  by  the  following  extract  from  the 
diary  of  the  Bev.  Dr.  Joseph  Sewall,  of  Boston:  "1730,  August  27,  I  preach'd 
the  Lecture  from  2  Pet.  3,  15,  'Account  that  the  lougsuffering  of  our  Lord  is  salvV 


982  APPENDIX    I. 

- — N.B.   It  is  ys  day  100  years  since  the  first  Church  in  ys   town  was  gather'd  at 
Charlestown." 

§  17.  If  the  foregoing  observations  do  not  amount  to  a  demonstration,  there  seems 
to  remain  little  or  no  doubt  but  that  Watertown  was  the  first  church  in  New  Eng- 
land, that  distinctly  adopted  the  Congregational  order;  that  it  may  justly  claim 
priority  over  the  first  church  of  Boston,  and,  since  the  migration  from  Dorchester  to 
Windsor,  is  entitled  to  rank  as  the  second  church  of  Massachusetts,  Bay. 


RELATIVE  EARLY  POPULATION  AND  WEALTH. 

§  18.  The  accompanying  table,  [p.  983]  besides  presenting  the  amount  of  taxes  levied 
for  the  uses  of  the  Colony,  shows  the  relative  estimated  wealth  or  valuation  of  the 
very  early  towns  for  several  years.  It  will  also  aid  in  forming  an  idea  of  their  respec- 
tive populations.  But  assessments  alone  will  not  give  the  numbers  correctly,  as 
taxes  had  respect  to  estates  and  not  to  the  number  of  persons.  At  the  first  meet- 
ing of  the  deputies,  ever  held  in  the  colony  (May  4,  1634),  the  Court  ordered 
that,  "in  all  rates  and  public  charges  the  towns  shall  have  respect  to  levy  every 
man  according  to  his  estate,  and  with  consideration  of  all  other  his  abilities  what- 
soever, and  not  according  to  the  number  of  persons."  As  Watertown  was  neither 
a  shire  town,  nor  a  place  for  much  trade  (not  being  a  shipping-port,  although  acces- 
sible by  small  vessels),  it  did  not  offer  to  official  men  and  capitalists  such  attrac- 
tions for  settlement,  as  did  some  other  towns.  After  the  departure  of  Sir  Richard 
Saltonstall,  there  was  no  Assistant  or  Magistrate,  resident  of  Watertown,  until  1686; 
and  wills  and  inventories  show  that  there  were  in  Watertown,  no  large  estates, 
such  as  are  usually  accumulated  by  trade.  The  people  being  entirely  devoted  to 
agriculture,  with  a  few  exceptions,  where  a  mechanical  trade  was  carried  on  in  the 
intervals  of  farming,  property  was  more  equally  distributed  than  among  people  who 
could  enter  into  commercial  pursuits.  For  eighty  years  after  the  first  settlement,  there 
was  not  more  than  one  or  two  inventories  that  exceeded  £700.  An  inspection  of 
the  table,  with  these  considerations  in  view,  shows  almost  to  a  certainty,  that,  for 
the  first  four  years,  Watertown  was  the  most  populous  town  in  the  Colony,  and  it  is 
not  improbable  that  it  continued  so  for  fifteen  or  twenty  years.  In  1615,  the  levy 
on  Boston  was,  to  that  of  Watertown,  as  100  to  41  J.  But  Boston  was  then  the 
residence  of  the  Governor  and  of  the  principal  merchants ;  the  seat  of  government 
and  the  emporium  of  trade,  and  of  course  the  focus  of  wealth.  Johnson,  in  1651, 
[Wond.  Work.  Prov.]  in  giving  some  brief  statistics  of  the  very  early  towns,  gives 
no  statistics  of  Boston,  as  to  the  number  of  houses,  or  families,  or  of  the  acres 
under  tillage.  It  was  "the  centre  town  and  metropolis,"  "the  mart  of  the  land." 
But  he  calls  Watertown  "  this  great  town  consisting  of  one  hundred  and  sixty 
families  ;"  with  "  almost  two  hundred  and  fifty  souls  in  church  fellowship  ;"  with 
"  land  in  tillage  near  upon  one  thousand  eight  hundred  acres ;"  "  their  herd  of  kine 
and  cattle  of  that  kind,  about  four  hundred  and  fifty,  with  some  store  of  sheep  and 
goats."  His  account  of  the  other  towns  shows  that  Watertown,  in  most,  if  not  in 
all  of  those  particulars,  outranked  all  the  other  towns,  except  Boston,  of  which,  as 
just  stated,  he  has  given  no  statistics.

Notes  to  the  preceding  Table. 

\  20.  The  first  five  taxes  were  for  specific  objects;  the  others  for  general  uses. 

1  In  this  tax,  Mr.  Theophilus  Eaton  was  individually  taxed  £20  without  giving  his  resi- 
dence. It  was  a  l-75th  of  the  tax  of  the  whole  colony.  His  name  is  on  a  levy  of  the  pre- 
ceding November,  but  not  the  sum  given. 

2  The  name  of  Wessaguscus  was  changed  to  Weymouth,  September  2,  1635. 

3  Natasket,  or  Nantasket  was  taxed  only  twice.  The  following  order  implies  that  the 
plantation  was  then  broken  up.  In  June,  1641,  the  Court  ordered  that  a  plantation  be  forth- 
with set  up  at  Nantasket  "for  the  furthering  of  fishing."  The  name  was  changed  to  Hull, 
May  29,  1644. 

4  Winesemet  was  annexed  to  Boston,  September  3,  1634,  and  ceased  to  be  taxed  sepa- 
rately. 

5  Saugus  and  Marble  Harbor  were  taxed  together  in  1632.  "  It  was  proved  to  the  Court, 
March  3,  1635-6,  that  Marbleneck  belongs  to  Salem,"  and  it  was  separated  from  Salem  and 
incorporated  as  a  town,  May  2,  1649.  The  name  Saugus,  was  changed  to  Lynn,  November 
20,  1637. 

6  The  name  New  Town  was  changed  to  that  of  Cambridge,  May  2,  1638. 

7  A  plantation  was  begun  at  Agawam  as  early  as  September,  1630,  but  was  abandoned 
by  order  of  the  Court.  A  permanent  settlement  was  made  there  in  the  spring  of  1633,  and 
on  the  5th  of  August,  1634,  the  Court  gave  it  the  name  of  Ipswich. 

8  May  6,  1635,  the  Court  allowed  Wessacumcon  to  be  a  plantation,  and  at  the  same 
time  named  it  Newbury. 

9  The  name  Bare  Cove,  was  changed  to  Hingham,  September  2,  1635. 

10  The  order  for  planting  Dedham  was  passed  by  the  Court,  September  3,  1635,  and  by 
an  order  passed  September  8,  1636,  the  plantation  was  named  Dedham,  and  exempted  from 
public  charges  for  three  years  from  the  first  of  May  next. 

M  The  plantation  beyond  Merrimack  River  was  named  Colchester,  September  4,  1639, 
and  Salisbury,  October  7,  1640. 

12  The  order  for  making  a  plantation  at  Musketaquid,  was  passed  September  3,  1635, 
and  named  Concord ;  and  it  was  exempted  from  all  public  charges,  except  trainings,  for 
three  years. 

13  March  3,  1635-6,  the  Court  ordered  a  plantation  to  be  settled  at  Winnacunnet;  on  the 
22d  of  May,  1639,  gave  it  the  powers  and  privileges  of  a  town,  and  the  next  September,  4th, 
gave  it  the  name  of  Hampton. 

14  At  this  Court  (June,  1642),  the  following  towns  were  taxed  for  the  first  time  "  for  public 
uses,"  viz.:  Braintree,  £14;  Rowley,  £15;  Sudbury,  £15;  Gloucester,  £5.10. 

15  At  this  Court  (May,  1645),  Woburn  was  taxed  for  the  first  time  £7,  and  Wenham 
£3.10.  "  for  public  uses." 

THE  NAME  OF  THE  TOWN. 

§  21.  The  Indian  name  of  Watertown  has  been  usually  printed,  Pigsgusset.  Tt  is 
sometimes  found  written  Pigs  go  suck.  The  correct  orthography  is  probably 
Pequusset,  as  it  is  usually  and  very  often  found  so  written  in  the  early  town  records. 
It  is  sometimes  written  Peguusset.  There  was  a  tract  of  land  on  the  north  border 
of  the  town,  a  very  little  distance  east  of  Lexington  Street,  then  called  Concord 
Road,  which  is  often  mentioned  in  deeds,  and  in  lists  of  possessions,  called  Pe- 
quusset  Meadow  or  Pequusset  Common,  and  for  many  years  used  as  a  cow-common. 
There  was  a  way  leading  to  it,  sometimes  called  Pequusset  Road,  and  likewise  a 
Pequusset  Hill.  The  extent  of  the  meadow,  which  bore  this  name,  has  not  been 
ascertained.  [See  Section  81.] 

§  22.  There  has  been  some  question  as  to  the  origin  of  the  present  name,  Water- 
town.  It  has  been  asserted  or  surmised,  on  what  authority  I  know  not,  that  it 
was  named  for  Waterton,  a  village  in  Yorkshire,  which  name  Sir  Richard  Salton- 
stall  wished  to  perpetuate.  This  seems  to  be  favored  by  the  circumstance  that 
nearly  all  the  very  early  plantations  in  that  vicinity  were  named  for  towns  in 
England ;  yet  very  little  credit  is  to  be  attached  to  it.  We  find  no  evidence  that 
there  ever  was  a  place  of  that  name  in  Yorkshire.  A  daughter  of  Sir  Richard 
Saltonstall,  evidently  a  well-educated  lady,  in  writing  to  her  brother  Samuel,  in 
1644,  directs  it  to  Watertowne.     If  it  had  been  named  for  a  Waterton  in  England, 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  985 

in  compliance  with  the  wishes  of  her  father,  it  is  extremely  likely  that  she  would 
have  known  it,  and  retained  the  correct  orthography.   [See  Note,  p.  916.] 

§  23.  It  is  much  more  probable  that  the  ancient  and  generally  received  tradition 
is  correct — that  it  was  so  named  because  it  was  so  well  watered.  Johnson  [Wond. 
Work.  Prov.,  chap.  28],  calls  Watertown  "  a  fruitful  plot  of  large  extent,  watered 
with  many  pleasant  springs,  and  rivulets,  running  like  rivers  throughout  her  body." 
After  describing  the  inconvenience  and  sufferings  encountered  at  Charlestown  for 
the  want  of  good  water,  Prince  [Annals,  p.  244]  says  of  the  settlers  of  Water- 
town,  "  some  travel  up  into  the  main  till  they  come  to  a  place  -well  watered, 
whither  Sir  R.  Saltonstall,  with  Mr.  Phillips  and  others  went,  and  settled  a 
plantation  and  called  it  Watertown."  Hubbard  does  not  deem  the  being  well  watered, 
a  sufficient  reason  for  so  naming  it,  "  most  of  the  other  plantations  being  well 
watered,  though  none  of  them  planted  on  so  large  a  fresh  stream  as  this  was." 
Perhaps  some  plantations,  afterwards  settled,  were  as  well  watered,  but  at  the  time 
Watertown  received  its  name,  no  other  plantation  could,  in  this  respect,  be  compared 
with  it.  [See  Sections  120-130.] 

At  a  Court  of  Assistants,  September,  7,  1630,  the  second  that  was  held  after  their 
arrival  in  the  Colony,  it  was  ordered  that  "  the  towne  vpon  Charles  Ryver  shall  be 
called  Waterton."     In  the  margin  of  this  record,  it  is  written,  "Water  Toune." 


MAP. 

The  accompanying  map  is  intended  to  show  the  relation  of  Watertown  to  the  sur- 
rounding towns;  its  original  boundaries  and  extent,  as  determined  by  the  Court ; 
the  overlapping  of  the  grants  made  to  Watertown  and  Concord,  and  the  several  ex- 
cisions, by  which  Watertown  became  reduced  to  its  present  small  dimensions.  Also 
some  of  its  most  important  localities.  S.  the  homestall  of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall, 
and  afterwards  of  his  sou  Samuel,  a.  The  portion  of  territory  taken  from  Water- 
town  and  annexed  to  Cambridge  in  1754 ;  b.  Dorchester  Field ;  c.  Pequusset  Mea- 
dow or  Common ;  d.  the  portion  of  Newton  (about  six  hundred  acres)  annexed  to 
Waltham  in  1849.  Nearly  all  of  this  was  included  in  the  ancient  Fuller  Farm,  and 
constituted  about  two-thirds  of  it ;  e.  Mount  Feake ;  m.  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery ;

Court;  y.  the  corners  of  Watertown  and  Cambridge  (Lex.)  contiguous  to  Concord.  ^^ 
The  lines  marked  1,2,  3,  4,  denote  the  Squadron  lines,  or  the  dividing  lines  of  the  flt\ 
four  Great  Dividends.  This  mark  [*]  denotes  the  sites  of  the  three  ancient  mills,  ^

or  the  centre  of  a  town  is  denoted  by  the  figure  of  a  meeting-house.  The  four  squa- 
dron lines  on  the  map,  appear  to  begin  at  the  eastern  boundary  of  Waltham,  and 
they  did  so  very  nearly ;  but  the  exact  line  has  not  been  ascertained  in  its  whole  ex- 
tent. [See  Sect.  86.] 


TERRITORY  AND   BOUNDARIES. 

§  24.  Most  of  the  ships  that  came  to  this  colony  in  1630,  landed  their  passengers 
at  Salem,  whence  they  proceeded  to  Charlestown.  Other  ships  came  with  their  pas- 
sengers directly  to  Charlestown,  and  this  place  became  the  rendezvous  of  all  the 
immigrants  of  that  year,  except  those  who  came  in  the  Mary  and  John.  From 
Charlestown,  this  concourse  of  people  dispersed  to  the  several  sites,  where  planta- 
tions were   commenced  in  that  year.     These  were  Watertown,  Boston,  Roxbury, 


• 


986  APPENDIX   I. 

Med  ford,  Lynn,  and  Winesemet.  Watertown  is  here  placed  first,  because  the  first 
and  the  most  numerous  body  of  planters  that  left  Charlestown  that  year  went  thither. 
At  the  first  planting  of  those  towns  they  probably  had  no  definite  limits,  except 
where  they  had  natural  boundaries.  The  settlers  selected  inviting  spots,  on  or  near 
the  margin  of  the  bay,  or  on  navigable  water,  which  were  separated  from  each  other, 
either  by  natural  boundaries  or  by  intervening  spaces,  then  deemed  sufficiently  broad 
to  avoid  future  collision  or  encroachment.  The  territory  of  each  plantation  extended 
back  into  the  wilderness  in  different  directions  from  the  Bay  like  radii,  in  some  in- 
stances indefinitely,  until  limits  were  afterwards  assigned  to  them  by  the  General 
Court.  Numerous  towns,  since  that  time,  have  been  incorporated  within  the  terri- 
tory originally  belonging  to  those  few  first  settled  towns. 

§  25.  The  site  selected  by  Sir  Richard  Saltoustall  and  his  companions  was  more 
remote  from  the  Bay  than  either  of  the  other  plantations  begun  that  year,  and  Wa- 
tertown was  the  first  of  the  inland  towns.  It  was,  however,  upon  the  tide-water  of 
Charles  River,  which  was  there  navigable  for  only  small  vessels ;  but  the  settlement 
very  soon,  if  not  at  first,  extended  above  tide-water.  As  the  company  of  planters 
who  first  went  there  was  large,  and  as  they  were  not  compacted  into  a  village  or 
dense  population,  like  other  early  plantations,  they  must  have  been  scattered  over  a 
very  considerable  extent  of  territory.  In  many  of  the  plantations  the  settlers  were 
required  to  reside  within  half  a  mile  or  a  shorter  distance  from  the  meeting-house, 
for  the  sake  of  mutual  defence  against  the  Indians.  But  we  have  not  discovered 
any  such  order  or  compact  in  respect  to  Watertown. 

§  26.  The  first  planters  went  to  Watertown  before  any  attempt  was  made  to  settle 
"The  New  Town"  (Cambridge),  and  the  territories  of  Watertown  and  Charlestown, 
although  not  yet  defined  or  specially  granted,  seem  at  first  to  have  been  contiguous, 
and  to  have  been  regarded  as  embracing  all  that  territory  which  now  constitutes 
Cambridge,  West  Cambridge,  and  Lexington.  This  is  evident,  or  at  least  is  ren- 
dered extremely  probable,  by  the  language  of  both  Winthrop  and  Johnson. 

§  27.  In  December,  1630,  the  Governor  and  assistants  had  repeated  meetings,  at 
different  places,  in  order  to  select  a  site  for  a  fortified  town,  and  for  the  capital  of 
the  colony.  At  their  last  meeting,  December  21,  Governor  Winthrop  says,  "We 
met  again  at  Watertown,  and  there,  upon  view  of  a  place  a  mile  beneath  the  town, 
[i.  e.  the  central  point,  or  residence  of  the  chief  persons],  all  agreed  it  a  fit  place  for 
a  fortified  town."  The  homestall  of  Sir  Richard  was  situated  on  Charles  River 
within  that  strip  of  territory  which  was  taken  from  Watertown  and  annexed  to  Cam- 
bridge in  1754,  and  was  about  a  mile  from  the  site  of  Harvard  College.  Wood 
[New  England's  Prospect],  whose  distances  are  not  exact,  says  Watertown  was  about 
half  a  mile  westward  from  Newtown,  and  "  this  town"  (the  central  or  chief  point  of 
Watertown)  was  within  half  a  mile  of  the  Great  Pond.  Winthrop  [i.  p.  73]  says, 
Watertown  wear  was  "three  miles  above  the  town."  Between  the  homestall  of  Sir 
Richard  and  the  New  Town  [Camb.]  line,  there  was  only  one  small  intervening  lot  (13 
acres,  belonging  to  Thomas  Brigham),  and  this  homestall  was  bounded  on  the  north- 
west by  a  lot  of  Mr.  Phillips,  supposed  to  be  the  one  upon  which  Sir  Richard  en- 
gaged (August  23,  1630)  to  build  a  house  for  Mr.  Phillips.  These  lots  of  Sir 
Richard  and  Mr.  Phillips  were  about  three  miles  below  the  wear,  half  a  mile  south 
of  Fresh  Pond,  and  one  mile  from  Newtown;  and  that  point,  or  the  immediate 
neighborhood,  was  undoubtedly  what  was  meant  by  "the  town." 

§  28.  The  Newtown  line  being  run  thus  near  to  Sir  Richard's  residence,  it  is 
highly  probable  that  a  considerable  number  of  his  companions  were  found  to  have 
settled  within  the  limits  of  Newtown.  This  view  is  corroborated  by  Johnson  [Won- 
der-Working  Prov.  chap.  28],  who  says,  "They  [the  first  settlers  of  Newtown]  chose 
a  place  situate  on  Charles  River,  between  Charlestown  and  Watertown,  where  they 
erected  a  town,  called  Newtown,  and  now  named  Cambridge,  being  in  form  like  a 
list  cut  off  from  the  broadcloath  of  the  aforenamed  towns."  We  may  infer  from  this 
language  of  Johnson,  that  Newtown,  at  first,  possessed  no  land  on  the  south  side  of 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  987 

Charles  River.  We  may  infer  it  also  from  the  language  of  an  order  passed  by  the 
Court  of  Assistants,  June  5,  1632,  granting  200  acres  to  Thomas  Dudley,  "on  the 
west  side  of  Charles  River,  over  against  [not  in]  the  New  Town."  It  is  probable 
that,  before  the  planting  of  Newtown,  all  the  land  between  Charles  River  and  Rox- 
bury,  and  extending  from  Back  Bay  to  the  southwest,  was  considered  as  belonging 
to  Boston  and  Watertown,  with  perhaps  an  undefined  line  between  them.  What 
portions  of  this  belonged  to  these  two  towns  respectively  has  not  been  ascertained, 
but  probably  chiefly  to  Boston.  We  have  not  discovered  any  evidence  that  any  land 
on  the  south  side  of  the  river  belonged  to  Newtown  before  1634 ;  but  it  is  very 
probable. 

§  29.  The  population  of  Newtown  had  increased  so  rapidly,  chiefly  by  the  acces- 
sion of  Mr.  Hooker  and  his  followers  in  1633,  that,  in  May,  1634,  scarcely  three 
years  from  their  beginning,  they  "complained  of  straitness  for  want  of  land,  espe- 
cially meadow,"  and  asked  leave  of  the  Court  to  look  out  for  further  enlargement 
and  removal,  which  was  granted.  At  the  next  Court,  held  September  4th,  they 
asked  leave  to  remove  to  Connecticut;  and  the  question  of  "the  removal  of  New- 
town" was  "  the  main  business"  of  this  Court,  "  was  debated  divers  days,"  and 
caused  the  adjourning  of  the  Court  [Winthrop,  i.  p.  140].  The  first  and  main  ar- 
gument for  removal  was  "their  want  of  accommodation  for  their  cattle,"  and  their 
inability  to  "receive  any  more  of  their  friends  to  help  them."  One  answer  to  this 
was,  that  "  they  might  be  accommodated  with  enlargement,  which  other  towns 
offered."  Upon  putting  the  question  of  removal  to  Connecticut,  a  majority  of  the 
deputies  (15  to  10)  were  in  favor  of  assenting  to  it,  but  a  large  majority  of  the 
assistants  voted  against  it.  Upon  this  disagreement  in  the  votes  of  the  two  bodies 
"  grew  a  great  difference  between  the  Governor  and  assistants  and  the  deputies." 
But  after  keeping  "  a  day  of  humiliation,"  and  a  sermon  by  Mr.  Cotton,  "  the  con- 
gregation of  Newtown  came  and  accepted  of  such  enlargement  as  had  formerly  been 
offered  by  Boston  and  Watertown." 

§  30.  At  what  time  this  offer  was  made  has  not  been  ascertained,  but  probably  at 
the  same  time,  if  not  before,  Newtown  people  asked  permission  of  the  Court  "  to 
remove  their  habitations,  or  to  have  an  addition  to  what  they  already  have ;"  for  at 
the  same  Court,  May,  1634,  it  was  ordered  that  "  Boston  shall  have  convenient  en- 
largement at  Mount  Walliston,"  probably  as  a  compensation  for  the  land  which  they 
offered  to  Newtown.  A  committee,  of  which  Mr.  John  Oldham,  of  Watertown,  was 
chairman,  was  appointed  to  "set  out"  and  to  "draw  a  plot"  of  this  grant  at  Mount 
Walliston.  Soon  afterwards  (September,  1634)  Winesemet  was  annexed  to  Boston 
The  land  offered  by  Boston  is  designated  as  "  the  ground  about  Muddy  River." 
Whether  it  embraced  only  what  has  been  since  known  as  Muddy  River  (Brookline) 
or  embraced  also  a  part  or  the  whole  of  Brighton,  the  records  do  not  show.  Th 
latter  is  not  improbable.  The  land  offered  by  Watertown  was  "the  meadow  on  this 
side  Watertown  wear,  containing  about  thirty  acres,  be  the  same  more  or  less  and 
now  used  by  the  inhabitants  of  Newtown."  On  September  25,  1634,  the  Court 
confirmed  these  offered  lands  to  Newtown,  with  the  proviso,  "  that  if  Mr.  Hooker 
and  the  congregation  now  settled  here  shall  remove  hence,  that  then  the  aforesaid 
meadow  shall  return  to  Watertown,  and  the  ground  at  Muddy  River  to  Boston."  In 
1636,  Mr.  Hooker  and  his  congregation  moved  to  Hartford,  and  of  course  the  proviso 
would  take  effect,  and  the  grant  of  the  offered  lands  be  void.  The  land  about 
Muddy  River  reverted  to  Boston,  and  was  long  afterwards  incorporated  and  named 
Brookline ;  but  Watertown  did  not  recover  her  meadow. 

§  31.  Watertown  and  Newtown,  soon  after  the  offered  lands  were  confirmed  to  the 
latter,  differed  about  their  boundaries,  and  on  March  4,  1634-5,  the  Court  referred 
"  the  difference  concerning  all  bounds  of  land  between  them"  to  a  committee  "  to 
determine  the  same  before  the  next  Court  of  Assistants."  This  committee  reported 
on  the  7th  of  April,  and  their  determination  was  such  as  to  prevent  the  reversion  to 
Watertown  of  the  meadow,  according  to  the  aforesaid  proviso,  upon  the  migration  of

Mr.  Hooker  and  his  company,  which  occurred  the  next  year.     The  following  is  their 
report : — 

"  It  is  agreed  by  us,  whose  names  are  here  underwritten,  that  the  bounds  between 
Watertown  and  Newtown  shall  stand  as  they  are  already  from  Charles  River  to  the 
great  Fresh  Pond;  and  from  the  tree  marked  by  Watertown  and  Newtown  on  the 
southeast  side  of  the  pond,  over  the  pond,  to  a  white  poplar  tree  on  the  northwest 
side  of  the  pond,  and  from  that  tree  up  into  the  country  northwest-by-west,  upon  a 
straight  line  by  a  meridian  compass;  and  further,  that  Watertown  shall  have  one 
hundred  rods  iu  length  above  the  weare,  and  one  hundred  rods  beneath  the  weare  in 
length,  and  threescore  rods  in  breadth  from  the  river  on  the  south  side  thereof,  and 
all  the  rest  of  the  ground  on  that  side  the  river  to  lye  to  Newtown. 

[Signed]  "  William  Colbran, 

"John  Johnson, 
"Abraham  Palmer." 

§  32.  The  foregoing  were  the  only  definite  boundaries  of  Watertown  at  that  time, 
which  was  before  the  settlement  of  either  Concord  or  Dedham.  Orders  for  the 
settlement  of  both  these  towns  adjoining  Watertown  on  the  northwest  and  south- 
west, were  passed  September  3,  1635;  but  the  order  for  "setting  out  the  bounds 
between  Watertown  and  Concord,  and  between  Watertown  and  Dedham"  was  not 
passed  until  May  2,  1638.  The  western  limit  of  Watertown  had  previously 
(March  2,  1635—6)  been  fixed  by  an  order  that  "the  bounds  of  Watertown  shall 
run  eight  miles  into  the  country  from  their  meeting-house,  within  the  lines  already 
set  out"  [on  the  north  and  south,  in  the  Report  of  the  Committee  above  inserted]. 
On  the  8th  of  June,  1638,  the  Court  ordered,  "  for  the  final  end  of  all  difference 
between  Watertown,  Concord,  and  Dedham,  that  Watertown  eight  miles  shall  be  ex- 
tended upon  the  line  between  them  [Watertown]  and  Cambridge,  so  far  as  Concord 
bounds  give  leave;  and  that  their  [Watertown]  bounds  by  the  river  shall  run  eight 
miles  into  the  country  in  a  straight  line,  as  also  the  river  doth  for  the  most  part  run, 
and  so  to  take  in  all  the  land  of  that  [north]  side  of  the  river,  which  will  not  fall 
into  the  square  five  miles  granted  to  Dedham ;  and  that  the  neck  on  the  same  [north 
or  left]  side  of  the  river  near  to  Dedham  town,  shall  be  cast  into  the  said  square  of 
five  miles  to  make  up  the  same,  so  as  the  said  square  is  to  be  accounted  by  quan- 
tity and  not  by  situation,  because  the  place  will  not  admit  of  it  ;*  and  that  their 
[Watertown's]  eight  miles  from  Watertown  meeting-house  shall  be  by  a  line  between 
both  the  other  [north  and  south]  lines." 

3.    The  controversy  between  Watertown   and  Concord  related  to  conflicting 

laims  to  grants  of  land  made  by  the  General  Court.     The  report  of  the  committee 

already   inserted,   made  in   April,  1635,  assigned  to  Watertown,   as   her  northern 


*  In  May,  1638,  the  General  Court  granted  to  the  town  of  Roxbury  4000  acres  of  land, 
"because  Dedham  doth  shorten  them"  (by  a  boundary  line  between  Dedham  and  Roxbury, 
reported  by  committee  and  adopted  at  this  Court).  The  order  for  this  grant  was  repeated  in 
May,  1640,  but  was  not  immediately  carried  into  effect.  In  October,  1643,  the  Court  ap- 
pointed a  committee  "  to  lay  out  the  land  of  Roxbury  men," — "  if  it  be  there  to  be  had  near 
Dedham  and  Watertown,"  but  "  Dedham  hath  three  weeks  further  time  granted  them  to 
settle  their  bounds ;  and  then  Roxbury  men"  to  have  their  four  thousand  acres  "  between 
Watertown,  Sudbury,  and  Dedham."  (Col.  Records  and  Hist.  Rox.,  p.  69,  &c.)  This  seems  to 
be  that  tract  of  land,  or  a  part  of  it,  which  was  granted  by  Dedham  to  the  Natick  Indians, 
about  1650,  in  exchange  for  Deerfield ;  and  it  seems  probable  that,  at  the  end  of  the  three 
weeks,  when  Dedham  had  "  set  her  bounds,"  space  was  not  left  for  the  Roxbury  people. 
Watertown  and  Dedham  were  contiguous,  until  the  incorporation  of  Needham  in  1711,  only 
a  short  time  before  Weston  was  set  off  from  Watertown  and  incorporated. 

The  Natick  Indians  are  said  to  have  been  gathered  together  from  dispersed  and  wandering 
life,  into  a  civil  society  by  the  Rev.  John  Elliot,  about  1650;  their  town  was  laid  out  the 
next  year,  and  their  settlement  was  recognized  as  a  district,  as  early  as  1652.  Natick  was 
incorporated  as  an  English  District,  in  1762,  and  incorporated  as  a  town  in  1781.  [See 
Bigelow's  Hist,  of  Natick,  p.  21.] 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  989 

boundary  a  line  beginning  at  Fresh  Pond,  and  running  straight  W.  N.  W.  into  the 
country  indefinitely,  that  is,  until  the  western  boundary  of  Watertown  should  be 
determined.  These  lines  continued  (the  N.  and  W.  boundaries  of  Watertown) 
would  meet  within  the  present  limits  of  Concord,  near  Walden  Pond,  including  most 
of  that  Pond,  half  of  Sandy  Pond,  and  much  the  largest  part  of  Lincoln.  About 
six  months  after  the  northern  or  northeastern  boundary  of  Watertown  was  thus 
reported  and  determined,  but  before  it  had  been  surveyed  and  marked,  Concord  was 
granted  by  the  General  Court,  and  their  "  six  myles  of  land  square"  was  so  located 
as  to  overlap  the  land  already  granted  to  Watertown.  As  the  land  was  first  sur- 
veyed and  settled  by  Concord  people,  they  were  allowed  to  retain  it,  notwithstanding 
the  prior  title  of  Watertown. 

§  34.  It  has  just  been  stated  that  the  General  Court  assigned  the  western  limits 
of  Watertown  in  March,  1686.  It  does  not  appear  from  the  Court  records,  at  what 
time  the  line  was  first  surveyed  ;  but  in  May,  1651,  commissioners  (John  Sherman, 
in  behalf  of  Watertown,  and  Walter  Haynes,  Edmund  Rice,  Edmund  Goodenow, 
Thomas  Noyes,  John  Grout,  John  Ruddocke,  and  Hugh  Griffin,  in  behalf  of  Sud- 
bury), being  authorized  to  settle  the  division  line  between  Watertown  and  Sudbury, 
did  "consent  and  conclude  that  the  line  which  was  formerly  by  Mr.  John  Oliver 
drawn  in  that  plan,  and  the  same  marks  revised  about  three  years  since,  in  the 
presence  of  some  of  each  of  the  towns  aforesaid,  commonly  called  the  old  line  be- 
twixt Watertown  and  Sudbury — shall  forever  stand  and  be  accounted  the  true  parti- 
tion line."  This  line  began  at  the  south  point  of  Concord,  and  was  directly  con- 
tinuous with  its  southeast  boundary,  running  ninety-six  rods  S.  80°  15'  W., 
"to  an  angle  betwixt  two  hills;"  thence  "south  about  half  a  point  westerly" 
[S.  2°  20'  W.],  until  it  came  within  eighty  rods  of  Nonesuch  Pond,  where  "Sud- 
bury bounds  ended."  By  consulting  the  map,  it  will  be  seen  that  by  this  survey  a 
small  triangular  piece  of  the  land,  originally  granted  to  Watertown,  was  annexed  to 
Sudbury. 

§  35.  Two  early  grants  of  land  were  made  to  Watertown  by  the  General  Court, 
the  second  of  which,  was  in  compensation  for  land  taken  off  by  Concord.  It  is  not 
improbable  that  the  first  grant  was  made  with  the  same  intention,  and  that  the 
second  was  made  because  the  first  grant  failed.  On  this  point  we  are  left  to  con- 
jecture, and  to  inference  not  entirely  clear.  In  November,  1687,  by  the  Court, 
"  Watertown  is  granted  one  thousand  five  hundred  acres  of  meadow,  if  it  be  there 
convenient,  at  the  new  plantation  [Sudbury],  upon  the  river  Concord  is  upon."  The 
reason  for  this  grant  is  not  given  in  the  record,  but  the  date  and  the  location  of 
it  render  it  probable  that  it  was  in  compensation  for  the  land  taken  off  by 
Concord.  Sudbury  was  soon  afterwards  incorporated,  and  this  conditional  grant 
to  Watertown  being  within  its  limits,  it  would  not  be  "  convenient,"  to  allow 
Watertown  to  have  it.  It  is  to  be  observed  that  Sudbury  was  a  Watertown  settle- 
ment and  granted  to  Watertown  petitioners,  and  this  large  grant  might  be  deemed 
to  supersede,  and  more  than  make  good  the  lesser  grant.  But  it  is  probable  that  it 
was  not  so  viewed,  and  that  the  second  grant  was  made  in  lieu  of  the  first.  We 
find  in  the  town  records,  no  mention  of  this  first  grant  of  one  thousand  five  hundred 
acres,  until  after  the  lapse  of  more  than  seventy-five  years,  when  the  town  may  have 
lost  sight  of  the  relation  between  this  first  and  a  subsequent  grant.  A  committee 
was  appointed  to  search  the  Colonial  Records,  wherein  were  found  mentioned  two 
grants  of  land  to  Watertown,  neither  of  which  had  been  made  good  by  location  and 
survey;  and  on  January  14th,  1722—3,  the  town  "chose  Col.  [Jonas]  Bond,  Nathaniel 
Bright,  and  William  Shattuck,  to  address  the  General  Court,  to  obtain  two  thousand 
acres  of  upland,  and  one  thousand  five  hundred  acres  of  meadow,  formerly  granted 
to  Watertown  and  not  yet  taken  up,  and  to  see  whether  it  should  be  divided  between 
Watertown  and  Weston." 

§  36.  This  is,  we  think,  the  only  reference  in  the  records  to  those  one  thousand 
five  hundred  acres  of  meadow,  subsequent  to  the  following  second  grant.  In  May, 
1651,  at   the   same  time  that  the   boundary  between  Watertown  and  Sudbury  was 


t 


§ 


990  APPENDIX    I. 

finally  settled,  the  General  Court  ordered,  "that  Watertown  shall  have  two  thousand 
acres  of  land  laid  out  near  Assabet  River,  adjoining  to  the  bounds  of  Sudbury,  in 
respect  of  such  land  as  was  wanting  to  them,  which  was  granted  to  them  formerly  by 
this  Court  to  be  the  bounds  of  their  town,  and  that  Capt.  Willard  and  Lieut.  Goodenow 
are  appointed  to  see  this  done  and  performed,  and  to  make  return  thereof  to  this 
Court  at  their  next  session,  provided  it  be  not  prejudicial  to  any  former  grants." 
This  committee  did  not  perform  this  service,  probably  on  account  of  the  terms 
of  the  proviso.  The  reason  for  this  grant  is  more  distinctly  shown  in  the  town 
records.  At  a  town  meeting,  held  March  12th,  1660-1,  "Capt.  Mason,  Lieut.  Beers, 
and  Serj.  Wincoll  were  appointed  to  find  out  where  to  have  laid  out  the  two  thousand 
acres  granted  by  the  General  Court  in  recompense  of  some  land  taken  off  by  Concord." 
The  "  bounds  of  the  town,"  referred  to  in  the  preceding  order  of  the  Court,  was 
undoubtedly  the  line  before  referred  to,  beginning  at  Fresh  Pond  and  running 
W.  N.  W.  straight  into  the  country.  Committees  were  appointed  by  the  town  very' 
numerous  times,  in  order  to  obtain  of  the  Court  the  location  and  survey  of  this  grant, 
but  without  success,  until  after  the  lapse  of  more  than  one  hundred  years.  After 
this  great  delay,  exceeding  in  duration  unending  chancery  suits,  the  grant  was 
located  "at  Wachnsett  Hill,"  and  divided  between  Watertown,  Waltham,  and 
Weston.  Waltham  and  Weston  sold  their  shares  in  1756,  each  for  £267.6.8= 
£2005.  0.  T.     Watertown  sold  her  share  of  it  about  the  same  time. 

§  37.  Within  the  boundaries  of  Watertown,  as  determined  by  the  Court  in  April, 
1635,  were  embraced  the  present  towns  of  Watertown,  Waltham,  Weston,  the  largest 
part  of  Lincoln,  and  that  part  of  Cambridge  lying  east  of  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery, 
between  Fresh  Pond  and  Charles  River.  Watertown  is  now  one  of  the  smallest 
townships  in  the  State,  and  it  has  been  reduced  to  its  present  dimensions  by  repeated 
excisions.  The  earliest  was  in  1631,  already  mentioned,  when  a  strip  was  cut  off 
from  the  whole  northern  border,  in  order  to  make  up  the  township  of  Newtown 
(Cambridge).  The  next  was  in  1634,  when  thirty  acres  of  meadow,  on  the  south 
side  of  Charles  River,  was  offered  and  relinquished  to  Newtown,  in  order,  with  the 
additional  offer  of  Boston,  to  induce  Mr.  Hooker  and  his  congregation  to  relinquish 
their  purpose  to  remove  to  Connecticut.  The  third  excision  was  in  1635,  when 
Concord  was  granted,  and  trenched  so  far  upon  the  land  previously  allowed  to  Wa- 
tertown, that  the  Court  granted  Watertown  2000  acres  of  land  as  a  compensation  for 
the  loss.  The  fourth  excision  took  place  in  1712,  when  about  one-half  of  the  land 
was  taken  off  and  incorporated,  January  1,  1712-13,  as  the  town  of  Weston.  This 
had  been  commonly  designated  as  Watertown  Farms;  afterwards,  for  a  few  years 
before  the  incorporation,  as  the  Farmers'  Precinct;  sometimes  as  the  third  Military 
Precinct,  or  the  precinct  of  Lieutenant  Jones's  company;  sometimes  as  the  Western- 
most Precinct,  in  which  case  Waltham  was  called  the  Middle  Precinct. 

§  38.  The  earliest  mention  in  the  records  of  a  boundary  between  the  Farms  and 
the  rest  of  Watertown,  is  Mar.  13,  1682-3,  when  it  was  voted  that  "  those  that 
dwell  on  west  of  Stony  Brook  be  freed  from  school  tax  in  1683."  October  2, 
1694,  it  was  voted  that  "  our  neighbors,  the  farmers,  being  upon  endeavors  to  have 
a  meeting-house  among  themselves,  the  town  consents  that  they  may  come  as  far  as 
Beaver  Brook,  upon  the  country  road  leading  to  Sudbury,  and  so  to  run  north  and 
south  upon  a  line,  to  the  end  there  may  be  peace  and  settlement  among  us."  This 
line  was  so  far  east  as  to  set  off  to  the  Farms  more  than  three-fourths  of  the  present 
territory  of  Waltham,  and  about  three-fourths  of  the  land  of  the  whole  town.  We 
find  no  subsequent  mention  of  such  a  boundary,  and  it  was  so  differeut  from  the 
obvious  eastern  boundary  of  Watertown  Farms,  and  from  the  one  afterwards  adopted, 
that  it  might  be  suspected  that  there  was  an  error  in  the  record,  and  instead  of 
Beaver  Brook,  it  should  be  Stony  Brook.  But  that  vote  was  passed  in  the  early 
stage  of  a  very  earnest  controversy  about  the  removal  of  the  meeting-house  from  the 
eastern  to  a  more  central  part  of  the  town,  and  if  the  record  is  correct,  it  was  proba- 
bly passed  by  an  accidental  majority,  who  hoped,  and  intended  thereby,  to  put  to 
rest  the  project  of  a  change  of  the  location  of  the  meeting-house. 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  991 

§  39.  At  a  town  meeting,  held  January  6,  1701-2,  it  was  voted  "that  the  bounds 
of  the  Farmers'  Precinct  for  the  ministry  is  from  Charles  River  along  the  brook 
called  Stony  Brook,  that  cometh  out  of  a  pond  called  Beaver  Pond,  said  Precinct 
being  on  the  westerly  side  of  said  brook."  This  vote  seems  to  be  only  an  iteration 
or  sanction  of  an  order  of  the  General  Court  [Records  vii  p.  49],  passed  July  20, 
1699,  respecting  the  boundary  line  between  the  "  Farmes"  and  Watertown.  "  It  is 
Resolved  and  Ordered  that  the  Bounds  of  sd  Precinct  shall  extend  from  Charles 
River  to  Stony  Brook  Bridge,  and  from  sd  Bridge  up  the  Brook  Northerly  to  Robert 
Harrington's  Farm,  the  Brook  to  be  the  boundary,  including  the  said  Farm  and  com- 
prehending all  the  Farms  and  Farm  lands  to  the  lines  of  Cambridge  and  Concord, 
and  from  thence  [the  Brook]  all  Watertown  lands  to  their  utmost  Southward  and 
Westward  bounds."  On  the  7th  of  May,  1708,  the  town  appointed  a  committee 
(Joseph  Sherman,  Lieutenant  Jonathan  Smith,  and  Joseph  Peirce,  Sen.)  "to  run  a 
line  between  the  town  and  the  Farmers'  Precinct,  referring  to  the  ministry."  This 
was  done  on  the  28th  of  May,  and  the  line  (minutely  described  in  the  records)  began 
at  Charles  River,  followed  up  Stony  Brook  to  Beaver  Pond,  "  and  from  said  pond  to 
a  black  pine,  at  the  bounds  where  Cambridge  and  Watertown  and  Concord  meet; 
said  Farmers'  Precinct  being  on  the  west  side  of  said  brook." 

§  40.  The  petition  of  the  Farmers'  Precinct  for  incorporation  was  presented  by 
Captain  Francis  Fulham,  Lieutenant  Josiah  Jones,  and  Mr.  Daniel  Estabrook,  and  at 
a  town  meeting,  December  2,  1712,  upon  the  hearing  of  said  petition,  the  town  "did 
by  a  free  vote  manifest  their  willingness  that  the  said  Farmers  should  be  a  township 
by  themselves,  according  to  their  former  bounds,"  with  proviso  and  conditions,  viz., 
1.  That  the  Farmers  continue  to  pay  a  due  share  of  the  expense  of  maintaining  the 
Great  Bridge  over  Charles  River;  2.  That  they  pay  their  full  and  due  share  of  the 
debts  now  due  by  the  town ;  3.  That  they  do  not  in  any  way  infringe  the  rights  of 
proprietors  having  land,  but  not  residing  among  the  Farmers. 

§  41.  The  present  boundaries  of  Weston,  on  the  north  and  east,  do  not  correspond 
with  those  described,  when  it  was  set  off  as  a  precinct.  Beaver  Pond,  there  men- 
tioned, is  in  Lincoln,  and  the  pine,  where  the  bounds  of  Cambridge  (Lex.),  Water- 
town,  and  Concord  meet,  was  not  far  north  of  the  centre  of  Lincoln,  which  was 
incorporated  as  a  precinct,  April  24,  1746,  and  as  a  town,  April  19,  1754,  and  which 
was  made  up  of  land  taken  from  the  northern  part  of  Weston,  the  southern  part  of 
Concord,  and  the  western  part  of  Lexington.  Nor  does  Stony  Brook  continue  to  be 
the  entire  boundary  between  Weston  and  Waltham.  This  line  of  boundary,  after 
following  up  Stony  Brook  about  a  mile  and  a  half,  leaves  it  at  nearly  a  right  angle, 
and  runs  N.  30°  E.  344  rods;  then  N.  60°  W.  124  rods;  then  N.  38°  W.  136 
rods;  then  N.  60°  W.  76  rods,  where  it  meets  the  corners  of  Weston,  Waltham, 
and  Lincoln.  From  this  point  the  boundary  between  Weston  and  Lincoln  runs, 
with  many  angles,  nearly  due  west,  until  it  reaches  the  boundary  line  of  Wayland 
(originally  Sudbury). 

§  42.  Weston  extends  considerably  farther  south  than  either  Watertown  or  Wal- 
tham, and  on  its  east  and  southeast  border,  for  840  rods,  it  is  separated  from  New- 
ton by  Charles  River.  The  southern  boundary  is  a  line  beginning  at  Charles  River, 
and  running  W.  13°  S.  993  rods,  separating  it  from  Needham,  until  it  reaches 
Natick.  Its  western  boundary  is  a  line  beginning  at  that  corner  of  Needham,  run- 
ning N.  2°  20'  E.  377  rods,  separating  it  from  Natick;  then  continued  in  the  same 
direction  1360  rods;  then  N.  30°  15'  E.  52  rods,  separating  it  from  Wayland,  and 
there  reaches  the  corner  of  Lincoln. 

§  43.  The  next  excision  from  Watertown  took  place,  April  19,  1738,  when  Wal- 
tham was  incorporated,  taking  off  about  three-fifths  of  her  already  much  diminished 
territory.  Before  the  incorporation  of  Weston,  Waltham  was  sometimes  called  the 
Middle  Precinct,  or  the  precinct  of  Captain  Garfield's  company ;  afterwards  the  West 
Precinct  of  Watertown.  When  incorporated,  Waltham  was  bounded  on  the  south  by 
Charles  River;  on  the  west  by  Weston,  boundary  already  described;  northwest  by 


992  APPENDIX    I. 

Lincoln;  north  or  northeast,  by  that  line  already  described,  beginning  at  Fresh  Pond, 
and  running  straight  west-northwest  to  Concord  line,  and  separating  Walthani  from 
West  Cambridge  and  Lexington  ;  east  by  a  line  beginning  at  Charles  River,  and 
running  north  48°  east,  until  it  reaches  West  Cambridge,  and  separating  it  from 
Watertown.  As  early  as  1754,  the  farm  of  Matthew  Bridge,  afterwards  of  his  son 
Nathaniel,  in  the  extreme  western  angle  of  Cambridge  (now  W.  Cambridge),  was 
annexed  to  Waltham.  In  1849,  Waltham  received  an  accession  of  between  600  and 
700  acres  of  land  on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River,  by  the  annexation  of  a  part  of 
Newton.  Nearly  the  whole  of  this  tract  belonged  to  the  ancient  Fuller  Farm,  and 
included  about  two-thirds  of  it.  A  small  portion  of  this  addition,  at  the  southwest, 
belonged  to  the  ancient  Williams  Farm. 

§  44.  About  sixteen  years  after  the  incorporation  of  Waltham,  Watertown  suffered 
another  excision  from  her  eastern  border.  The  present  boundary  between  Water- 
town  and  Cambridge  (between  Charles  River  and  Fresh  Pond)  is  not  the  original 
one,  mentioned  in  the  report  of  the  committee,  previously  inserted.  [See  Section 
31.]  In  April,  1754,  a  strip  of  land,  about  half  a  mile  wide,  was  taken  from  the 
east  border  of  Watertown  and  annexed  to  Cambridge,  as  appears  by  the  following 
transaction  of  the  General  Court.  [Records,  vol.  xx.  p.  228-9]  : 

In  the  House  of  Representatives  was  read  and  accepted  the  following  "  Report  on 
Cambridge  Inhabitants'  Petition,  referring  to  Watertown,  viz. :  The  Committee  on 
the  petition  of  the  First  Parish  in  Cambridge,  praying  that  a  number  of  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  town  of  Watertown,  with  their  estates,  be  annexed  to  them.  Having 
viewed  the  situation,  heard  the  parties,  and  finding  it  most  convenient  for  said 
inhabitants  to  attend  the  public  worship  of  God  in  the  said  Parish,  as  they  usually 
have  done  for  many  years  past,  and  it  being  their  desire  to  be  set  off  to  the  town  of 
Cambridge,  as  well  as  to  the  First  Parish  aforesaid :  Report  that  all  the  inhabitants 
and  lands  within  the  following  bounds  be  annexed  to  the  Town  and  First  Parish 
aforesaid,  to  do  duty  and  receive  privilege  in  the  same  :  The  dividing  line  between 
the  said  Cambridge  and  Watertown  to  begin  at  Charles  River,  and  from  thence  to 
run  in  the  line  between  the  lands  of  Simon  Coolidge,  Moses  Stone,  Christopher 
Grant,  and  the  Thatchers  [on  the  one  side],  and  the  lands  of  Colonel  Brinley  and 
Ebenezer  Wyeth  to  the  Fresh  Pond,  so  called  [on  the  other]  :  All  which  is  submitted 
per  Joseph  Pynchon  per  order."  Read  and  concurred  in  by  the  Council,  and  con- 
sented to  by  the  Governor,  April  19,  1754.  Within  the  strip  of  land  thus  annexed 
to  Cambridge,  Watertown  still  holds  a  wharf  or  landing  on  Charles  River. 

§  45.  This  boundary  line  may  be  seen  on  the  maps,  beginning  at  the  most  southern 
point  of  Fresh  Pond,  running  nearly  south  to  Mount  Auburn  Street,  then  east  along 
that  street;  then  through  the  northeast  corner  of  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery,  and 
thence  nearly  south  to  the  river.  The  original  eastern  boundary  line  has  not  been 
accurately  ascertained ;  but  it  probably  corresponded  nearly  with  the  present  Vassal 
Lane  and  Sparks  Street,  beginning  at  the  southeast  side  of  the  east  bay  of  Fresh 
Pond,  and  running  to  the  most  northern  point  of  the  bend  in  the  river.  By  consult- 
ing a  map,  it  will  be  seen  that  until  1754,  much  the  largest  part  of  Fresh  Pond  was 
within  the  limits  of  Watertown,  and  since  that  time  less  than  onedialf  of  it. 

§  46.  The  small  portion  of  Watertown  at  present  lying  on  the  south  side  of  the 
river,  has  not  the  exact  dimensions  assigned  to  it  in  1635,  although  about  the  same 
quantity  of  land.  March  1,  1704-5,  a  committee  (Jonas  Bond,  Esq.,  Captain  B. 
Garfield,  and  Joseph  Sherman)  was  appointed  "to  find  out  the  line  between  Water- 
town  and  Newton,  on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River."  The  committee  reported, 
November  16,  1705,  minutely  describing  the  line,  as  may  be  seen  in  the  town 
records,  and  which  is  nearly  the  same  as  that  delineated  in  the  recent  map  of  Water- 
town.  The  line  began  at  high-water  mark  on  Charles  River,  at  the  northeast  corner  of 
farm,  formerly  Mr.  Mayhew's,  and  ran  straight  southwest  2°  west,  41  f  rods;  then  a 
straight  line  west-northwest  5°  north,  216  rods;  then  a  straight  line  northeast  by 
north,  80  rods,  down  to  the  river.     [On  the  recent  map  this  northwest  boundary  is

by  John  Spring,  Edward  Jackson,  and  Ebenezer  Stone,  on  the  part  of  Newton. 

§  47.  We  have  not  discovered  any  estimate  of  the  number  of  acres — of  the  total 
area  of  Watertown,  as  originally  granted ;  but  from  a  comparison  of  the  known  area 
of  a  large  part  of  it  with  the  whole  of  it,  as  seen  on  the  map,  it  may  be  supposed 
to  have  been  about  29,000  acres.  The  present  areas  of  Watertown,  Waltham,  and 
Weston  are  as  follows  : —

EARLY  RECORDS. 

§  f  46.  There  is  no  record  extant  of  any  municipal  transactions  of  Watertown,  of 
earlier  date  than  1634,  four  years  after  its  first  settlement.  The  record  in  the  first 
volume  commences  with  what  is  marked  page  2  ;  and  it  has  been  supposed  that 
some  part,  at  least  one  page,  of  the  town  records,  has  been  lost.  There  is,  however, 
good  reason  to  conclude  that  only  a  title  page  is  lost;  that  with  the  beginuing  of 
this  volume  of  records,  there  was  a  commencement  of  a  new  order  in  municipal 
affairs.  It  was  immediately  after  the  occurrence  of  an  important  change  in  the 
government  of  the  colony;  when  a  house  of  Deputies  or  Representatives  became  a 
constituent  part  of  it.  As  the  people,  from  this  date,  began  to  be  represented  in 
the  government  of  the  colony,  so  "  the  ordering  of  the  civil  affairs  of  the  town" 
began  to  be  intrusted  to  a  body  of  freemen,  chosen  annually  for  that  purpose.  Then 
originated  that  peculiarly  New  England  municipal  body,  a  board  of  select  men. 
Previously  to  this  date,  the  civil  and  ecclesiastical  affairs  of  the  town  were  com- 
mingled together,  without  any  distinct  line   between  them.     No  one  had  a  right  to

vote,  unless  he  were  a  freeman  ;  none  could  be  admitted  a  freeman  unless  he  were 
a  church  member,  and  the  church  was  Congregational,  wherein  its  affairs  were 
managed  by  the  votes  of  the  members.  The  church  officers  seem  to  have  taken  the 
lead  both  in  civil  and  ecclesiastical  affairs,  and  it  is  probable  that,  previously  to 
1634,  the  records  were  kept  accordingly.     Whatever  those  records  were,  they  are  lost 

§  f47.  As  an  illustration  of  the  preceding  view,  the  following  transaction  is  ad 
duced.     On  the  3d  of  February,  1631-2,  the  Court  ordered  that  £60  be  levied  out 
of  the  several  plantations,   "  towards  the  making  of  a  palisado  about  the  Newtown.' 
A  warrant  was  sent  to   Watertown,  for  £3,  which  was   its  proportion  of  that  levy 
Hereupon    "  the  pastor    [Mr.  Phillips]  and    elder    [Mr.   Richard  Browne],  &c. 
assembled  the  people  and  delivered  their  opinions,  that  is  was  not  safe  to  pay  moneys 
after  that  sort,  for  fear   of  bringing  themselves  and  their  posterity  into  bondage.' 
For  this  they  were  summoned  before  the  Governor  and  Assistants,  on  the  17th  of 
the  same  month,  and  there   was  "  much  debate  ;"  but,  being  the  weaker  party, 
they  or  some  of  them,  were  compelled  to  make  a  retraction,  and  submission.     [Win- 
throp,  I.  p.  70.]    It  is  not  improbable  that  the  resistance  of  Mr.  Browne,  occasioned 
the    magistrates    to  be    so    determined    on    his     dismission  from   the  Eldership. 
Although  the  Governor  says  they  freely  confessed  their  error,  the  entire  correctness 
of  this  statement  may  well  be  doubted.     This  doubt  arises  from  the  known  character 
and  sentiments  of  Mr.  Phillips,  Mr.  Browne,  and  others  of  Watertown ;  from  the  "  much 
debate,"  in  which  they  defended  their  views  of  taxation  without  representation,  and 
from  the  important  results  that  soon  succeeded.    Such  a  confession  and  submission, 
in  such  a  case,  would  be  unlike  Richard  Browne,  John  Oldham,  and  John  Masters. 

§  48.  This  transaction  shows  that  the  people  were  called  together  by  the  church 
officers;  that  the  minister,  elder,  and  "divers  of  Watertown,"  were  summoned  to 
answer  to  the  magistrates  for  their  attempted  resistance  ;  and  that  there  is  no 
reference  to  any  civil  or  municipal  organization,  or  authority,  as  would  undoubtedly 
have  been  done  not  long  afterwards. 

§  49.  But  this  transaction  deserves  a  conspicuous  notice  for  a  more  important 
reason  than  merely  for  elucidating  the  municipal  economy  of  a  town;  for  there  is 
nothing  of  which  Watertown  has  so  good  a  right  to  be  proud.  At  the  conclusion  of 
an  elaborate  note  [Winthrop,  I.  pp.  70,  71],  Mr.  Savage  says,  "to  the  agitation 
of  this  subject  [by  Watertown  people],  we  may  refer  the  origin  of  that  committee  of 
two  from  each  town  to  advise  with  the  Court  about  raising  public  moneys,  '  so  that 
what  they  shall  agree  upon  shall  bind  all/  and  this  led  to  the  representative  body, 
having  the  full  power  of  all  the  freemen,  except  that  of  elections."  It  was  on  the 
9th  of  May,  less  than  three  months  after  the  debate  with  the  Watertown  people,  at 
the  very  next  meeting  of  the  General  Court,  that  these  Committees  were  appointed 
for  the  several  towns;  and  it  is  also  to  be  noticed,  in  the  record  of  these  commit- 
tees, that  the  names  of  Mr.  John  Oldham  and  John  Masters,  of  Watertown,  are  the 
first  on  the  list.  These  circumstances  should  be  remembered,  when  reading  Win- 
throp's  Journal,  in  the  place  referred  to. 

§  50.  The  first  paragraph  in  the  town  records  has  become  very  obscure  by  age 
and  much  handling,  and  some  of  the  words  are  obliterated.  But  the  volume  has 
recently  been  copied  by  a  competent  person,  and  it  is  very  probable  that  he  has  suc- 
ceeded in  restoring  that  paragraph  to  its  original  reading.  As  these  records  con- 
tain so  much  information,  in  so  condensed  a  form,  respecting  the  men  and  the  trans- 
actions of  those  early  times,  and  present  it  more  satisfactorily  than  we  could  do  by 
any  digest  or  analysis,  those  ancient  records — all  that  are  of  an  earlier  date  than 
November,  1647,  except  the  lists  of  possessions — are  here  inserted  verbatim  et 
literatim.  They  appear  to  be  not  a  full  journal  of  transactions,  and  are  little  more 
than  a  record  of  ordinances  enacted.

Ordered,  that  the  14  lb  due  before  for  ye  officers'  wages  shalbe  put  into  this  rate  for  them, 
and  yl  the  14  lb  due  from  Mr.  Edward  [?  Edmund]  Browne  shalbe  gott  in  for  ye 
Towne's  vse. 

Ordered,  that  Abram  Browne  shall  have  power  to  warne  in  all  them  yl  shall  fell  any  trees 
upon  the  Towne's  Land,  and  for  his  paines  shall  have  the  4  part  of  the  fines  due  to  the 
towne." 

§  52.  From  this  last  date,  November  28,  1643,  to  November  9,  1647,  a  period  of 
four  years,  the  records  of  the  transactions  of  the  town  are  lost,  so  that,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  lists  of  grants  and  possessions  of  land,  and  the  record  of  births  and 
deaths,  the  preceding  are  all  that  are  extant  earlier  than  November,  1647,  when  the 
records  assume  more  the  form  of  a  journal  of  the  transactions  of  town  meetings, 
sometimes  embracing  those  of  the  selectmen. 

§  53.  On  the  9th  of  September,  1639,  the  Court  "  ordered  and  decreed  that  hence 
forward  *  *  *  *  there  be  records  kept  *  *  *  *  of  the  date  of  every  marriage, 
birth,  and  death,  of  every  person  within  this  jurisdiction."  It  appears  by  the  colo- 
nial records,  that  this  order  was  very  imperfectly  complied  with,  and  on  June  14th, 
1642,  they  made  it  the  duty  of  an  officer  of  their  own  appointment  (the  clerk  of 
writs)  to  perform  the  service,  with  fees  therefor,  and  fines  for  neglect  to  perform  it. 
The  followiug  is  that  order. 

§  54.  "  It  is  therefore  ordered,  that  hereafter  the  clerk  of  writs  in  the  several 
towns,  shall  take  especially  care  to  record  all  births  and  deaths  [marriages  were 
recorded  by  the  magistrates]  of  persons  in  their  towns  ;  and  for  every  birth  or  death 
they  so  record,  they  are  to  have  allowed  them  the  sum  of  3d.  and  are  to  deliver  in 
yearly  to  the  recorder  of  the  Court,  belonging  to  the  jurisdiction  where  they  live, 
a  transcript  thereof  together  with  so  many  pence  as  there  are  births  and  deaths 
recorded,  and  this  under  the  penalty  of  20s.  for  every  neglect;  and  for  the  time 
past  it  is  ordered,  they  shall  do  their  utmost  endeavor  to  find  out  in  their  several 
towns,  who  hath  been  born  and  who  hath  died,  since  the  first  founding  of  their 
towns,  and  to  record  the  same  as  aforesaid." 

§  55.  In  order  to  insure  a  full  compliance  with  this  order,  which  "hath  been  in 
many  places  much  neglected,"  the  Court  passed  an  order  Mar.  7,  1643-4,  "  that 
all  parents,  masters,  or  servants,  executors  and  administrators,  respectively,  shall 
stand  charged  to  bring  in  to  the  clerk  of  writs  the  name  of  such,  belonging  to  tbem 
or  any  of  them,  as  shall  either  be  born  or  die ;  and  that  the  new  married  man  shall 
stand  likewise  bound  to  bring  in  a  certificate  of  his  marriage,  under  the  hand  of  the 
magistrate,  which  married  him,  to  the  clerk  of  the  writs,"  and  penalties  were  im- 
posed for  the  neglect  of  these  duties.  In  May,  1657,  another  order  was  passed,  more 
particular  in  its  requirements  and  more  stringent  in  its  penalties,  in  order  to  insure 
the  accomplishment  of  the  purposes  of  the  foregoing  order. 

§  56.  Mr.  Simon  Eire  was  the  first  clerk  of  writs,  appointed  for  Watertown, 
December  10,  1641,  and  he  retained  the  office  until  October  1,  1645.  The  account 
of  births  and  deaths  in  Watertown  (with  the  exception  of  a  few  between  1648  and 
1651),  entered  in  the  Boston  records,  and  printed  in  the  7th  and  8th  volumes  of 
the  Genealogical  Register,  are  the  result  of  Mr.  Eire's  compliance  with  that  order. 
It  is  probable  that  the  first  volume  of  the  records  of  births,  deaths,  and  marriages, 
was  not  opened,  or  begun  to  be  kept,  until  1648,  by  John  Sherman.  The  following 
is  on  its  title  page. 

§  57.  "  The  records  of  the  births,  deaths,  and  marriages,  in  Watertown  ;  kept 
according  to  the  order  of  the  Court,  made  in  the  year  1648  [1642,  as  no  such  order 
was  passed  in  1648].  What  was  taken  before  [before  John  Sherman  was  ap- 
pointed clerk  of  writs],  was  by  Mr.  Eire,  and  uncertain  in  the  transmitting ;  yet 
in  this  book  transcribed  according  to  the  order  of  the  Court — so  many  as  come  to 
hand.     1648." 

"The  year  by  Mr.  Eire  supposed  begun  the  first  of  March;  but  from  1648,  the 
twenty-fifth  of  March,  by  John  Sherman,  26  (10),  1648.     The  year  is  set  upon  the 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1001 

head  of  every  page,  and  the  month  and  day  to  every  entry.  J.[ohn]  S.[herman]. 
The  account  of  the  year  is  from  the  twenty-five  March,  in  all  the  entries  that  were 
brought  to  me,  John  Sherman." 

For  the  early  lists  of  grants  and  possessions,  see  following  sections. 

§  58.  Marriage  was  regarded  as  a  civil  contract,  and  for  a  long  time  could  be  per- 
formed only  by  magistrates,  or  by  other  persons  especially  authorized  therefor.  As 
there  was  no  magistrate,  resident  of  Watertown,  for  a  long  time  after  the  departure 
of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  Watertown  people,  in  order  to  be  married,  were  obliged 
to  go  to  magistrates  in  other  towns  until  November,  1646,  when  Mr.  Richard  Browne 
was  empowered  to  officiate  on  such  occasions.  Upon  his  removal  to  Charlestown, 
Capt.  Hugh  Mason,  was,  in  May,  1658,  appointed  to  the  same  office,  and  "hereby 
is  empowered  to  solemnize  marriages  at  Watertown,  for  preventing  travel  and  other 
inconveniences."  He  probably  retained  this  office  until  his  decease,  in  October,  1678. 
Whether  any  held  the  same  office  between  the  decease  of  Capt.  Mason  and  the  elec- 
tion of  William  Bond  to  the  magistracy,  has  not  been  ascertained.  The  earliest  record 
of  a  marriage  in  Watertown  by  a  clergyman,  was  August  10,  1686,  by  Mr.  Bailey. 

§  59.  For  the  above  reasons,  few  marriages  are  recorded  in  Watertown,  until 
after  Mr.  Browne  was  authorized  to  officiate.  The  earliest  marriage  on  the  record 
is  that  of  John  Bigelow  and  Mary  Warren,  in  1642,  "  before  Mr.  Nowell,"  and  this 
is  the  only  instance,  where  the  name  of  the  officer  is  recorded,  until  August,  1686, 
when  a  marriage  was  solemnized  by  Rev.  John  Bailey  ;  and  in  December,  1686,  a 
marriage  was  performed  by  William  Bond,  Esq.,  about  eight  years  after  the  decease 
of  Capt.  Mason. 


THE  EARLY  SETTLERS,  THEIR  RESIDENCES,  AND  THEIR  MIGRATIONS. 

§  60.  It  is  very  difficult,  if  not  entirely  impossible  at  present,  to  make  out  a  full 
and  correct  list  of  those  persons  who  accompanied  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  at  the  first 
planting  of  Watertown,  and  of  those  who  went  there  before  1636.  It  is  most  probable, 
as  before  stated,  that  their  number  was  greater  than  that  of  the  settlers  of  any  other 
town  planted  in  1630  ;  and  there  is  reason  to  suppose,  that  with  the  exception  of 
Boston,  Watertown  continued  to  be  more  populous  than  either  of  them,  for  twenty 
years.  [See  table  and  notes,  p.  983.]  The  population  became  so  crowded,  that 
the  people  began  very  early  to  disperse,  either  to  form  new  plantations,  or  to  go  to 
other  towns  already  settled  ;  and  Watertown  has  been  a  prolific  old  hive,  sending 
out  swarms  almost  innumerable.  In  August,  1635,  after  the  migration  to  Wethers- 
field,  it  was  "  agreed  by  the  consent  of  the  freemen  (in  consideration  there  be  too 
many  inhabitants  in  the  town,  and  the  town  thereby  in  danger  to  be  ruinated),  that 
no  forrainer  coming  into  the  town,  or  any  family  arising  among  ourselves,  shall 
have  any  benefit  of  commonage  or  land  undivided,  but  what  they  shall  purchase, 
except  that  they  buy  a  man's  right  wholly  in  the  town."  [Town  Records.] 

§  61.  Some  very  considerable  migrations  from  the  town  took  place  prior  to  the 
date  of  the  earliest  list  of  proprietors  extant ;  and  as  some  of  these  emigrants,  if 
they  had  become  proprietors,  probably  sold  their  possessions  before  they  left,  their 
names  are  not  found  in  the  records,  and  are  not  certainly  known.  It  is  indeed 
known  that  there  were  some  very  early  residents,  whose  names  are  not  found  in  the 
lists  of  possessions.  A  considerable  number  of  them  are  known,  because,  either 
they  remained  proprietors  after  they  migrated,  or  there  is  a  record  of  their  dismissal, 
or  their  names  were  mentioned  in  describing  the  possessions  of  those  to  whom  they 
sold,  or  they  had  held  some  office,  or  had  given  names  to  localities.  It  is  probable 
also,  that  some  died  within  the  first  few  years,  whose  deaths  are  not  recorded,  as  the 
records  of  births  and  deaths,  for  that  period,  are  very  scanty,  and  those  that  are 
extant  were  not  recorded  at  the  time  of  the  events. 


1002  APPENDIX   I. 

§  62.  The  first  considerable  migration  was  the  colony  that  planted  Wethersfield, 
the  oldest  town  in  Connecticut.  Some  went  and  took  possession  of  Pyquag,  in  1634. 
The  next  year  a  larger  number,  including  some  names  afterwards  somewhat  distin- 
guished, went  there  and  named  the  plantation  Watertown.  Not  long  afterwards 
the  Court  changed  the  name  to  Wethersfield.  Some  of  this  colony  afterwards 
were  among  the  first  settlers  of  Stamford,  Milford,  and  Branford  [see  their  names  in 
the  following  catalogue,  §  77]. 

§  63.  The  next  considerable  migration  from  Watertown  went  to  Dedham.  Mr. 
Haven  [centennial  address],  says,  "  the  founders  of  Dedham  came  from  Watertown." 
September  3,  1635,  the  Court  "  ordered  a  plantation  to  be  settled  about  two  miles 
above  the  falls  of  Charles  River,  on  the  N.  E.  side  thereof,  to  have  ground  on  both 
sides  of  the  river,"  <fcc.  ;  and  on  March  3,  1635-6,  a  committee  (Ensign  Jennison, 
Mr.  Danforth,  and  Mr.  William  Phelps),  was  deputed  to  set  out  the  bounds  thereof, 
and  they  reported  on  the  13th  of  the  next  month.  On  the  8th  of  the  following 
September  (1636),  the  Court  named  this  plantation  Dedham,  and  exempted  it  from 
public  charges  for  three  years  from  the  first  of  May  next.  A  considerable  number 
of  the  names  of  the  settlers,  who  went  from  Watertown  to  Dedham,  are  known. 
Others  probably  went  there  from  Watertown,  whose  names  are  not  found  in  the 
records,  for  the  reason  above  stated.  A  few  of  the  petitioners  and  grantees  of  Ded- 
ham, did  not  move  there  ;  among  whom  were  John  Coolidge,  Thomas  Hastings,  and 
Robert  Feake.  Among  those  who  are  known  to  have  gone  there,  were  John  Hay- 
ward,  Lambert  Chinery,  Daniel  Morse,  Ensign  Thomas  Cakebread  (afterwards  of 
Sudbury),  John  Dwight,  Henry  Phillips  (son-in-law  of  Mr.  Dwight,  and  candidate 
as  teacher),  John  Batchelor,  Ralph  Wheelock  (candidate  as  teacher),  John  Eaton, 
Dr.  Henry  Dengayne  (afterwards  of  Rox.),  William  Barstow,  and  George  Barstow 
(supposed  to  have  gone  from  Watertown,  where  their  eldest  brother,  Michael  settled), 
and  John  Kingsbury. 

§  64.  The  order  for  planting  Concord  is  of  the  same  date  as  that  of  Dedham,  and 
Capt.  Thomas  Brooks,  the  ancestor  of  one  of  the  most  distinguished  families  of 
Concord,  went  from  Watertown.  Timothy  Wheeler,  an  early  proprietor  of  Water- 
town,  was  probably  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  Concord.  Although  this  town  can- 
not, with  propriety,  be  said  to  be  planted  by  Watertown  people,  the  preceding 
genealogies  show  that  numerous  Concord  families  may  trace  their  early  lineage  to 
Watertown. 

§  65.  The  next  plantation,  made  by  Watertown  people,  was  Sudbury.  At  the 
General  Court,  November  20,  1637,  the  following  preamble  and  order  were  adopted. 
"  Whereas  a  great  part  of  the  chief  inhabitants  of  Watertown  have  petitioned  this 
Court,  that  in  regard  of  their  straitness  of  accommodation,  and  want  of  meadow, 
they  might  have  leave  to  remove  and  settle  a  plantation  upon  the  river,  which  runs 
to  Concord,  this  Court,  having  respect  to  their  necessity,  doth  grant  their  petition, 
and  it  is  hereby  ordered,  that  Lieut.  [Simon]  Willard,  Mr.  [William]  Spencer, 
Mr.  Joseph  Weld,  and  Mr.  [Richard]  Jackson,  shall  take  view  of  the  places  upon 
said  river,  and  shall  set  out  a  place  for  them  by  marks  and  bounds  sufficient  for 
fifty  or  sixty  families,  taking  care  that  it  be  so  set  out  as  it  may  not  hinder  the 
settling  of  sonie  other  plantation  upon  the  same  river,  if  there  be  meadow,  and  other 
accommodations  sufficient  for  the  same.  And  it  is  ordered,  further,  that  if  the  said 
inhabitants  of  Watertown,  or  any  of  them,  shall  not  have  removed  their  dwellings 
to  their  said  new  plantation  before  one  year  after  the  plantation  shall  be  set  out, 
that  then  the  interest  of  all  such  persons,  not  so  removed  to  the  said  plantation,  shall 
be  void  and  cease,  and  it  shall  be  lawful  for  such  as  are  removed  and  settled  there, 
or  the  greater  part  of  them,  being  freemen,  to  receive  other  persons  to  inhabit  in 
their  rooms,  in  the  said  plantation  ;  provided,  that  if  there  shall  not  be  thirty 
families  at  least  there  settled  before  the  said  time  limited,  that  then  this  Court,  or 
the  Court  of  Assistants,  or  two  of  the  Council,  shall  dispose  of  the  said  plantation 
to  any  other.     And  it  is  further  ordered,  that  after  the  place  of  the  said  plantation 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1003 

shall  be  set  out,  the  said  petitioners,  and  such  other  freemen  as  shall  join  them, 
shall  have  power  to  order  the  situation  of  their  town,  and  the  proportioning  of  lots, 
and  all  other  liberties  as  other  towns  have  under  the  proviso  aforesaid. 

"  And  it  is  lastly  further  ordered,  that  such  of  the  said  inhabitants  of  Watertown, 
as  shall  be  accommodated  in  their  new  plantation,  may  sell  their  houses  and  im- 
proved grounds  in  Watertown ;  but  all  the  rest  of  the  land  in  Watertown  not 
improved,  shall  remain  freely  to  the  inhabitants,  which  shall  remain  behind,  and 
such  others  as  shall  come  to  them. 

"  And  the  said  persons  appointed  to  set  out  the  said  plantation  are  directed  so  to 
set  out  the  same,  as  there  may  be  1500  acres  of  meadow  allowed  to  it,  if  it  be  there 
to  be  had  with  any  conveniences,  for  the  use  of  the  town."  March  12,  1637-8. 
"The  Court  thinketh  meet  that  they  [of  Watertown],  should  have  liberty  to  sell 
their  allotments  in  Watertown,  and  they  are  to  give  their  full  answer  the  next 
Court,  whether  they  will  remove  to  the  new  plantation,  and  John  Oliver  put  in  the 
room  of  Richard  Jackson,  or  to  lay  out  the  said  plantation,  which  they  are  to  do 
before  the  next  Court." 

§  66.  An  order  was  passed  September  6,  1638,  allowing  the  petitioners,  Mr. 
Pendleton,  Mr.  Noyes,  Mr.  Brown  and  company,  to  go  on  in  their  plantation ;  but 
an  allotment  of  lands  does  not  appear  to  have  been  made,  until  September,  1639, 
when  the  Court  gave  the  plantation  the  name  of  Sudbury.  May  13,  1640,  an  addi- 
tion was  made  to  their  territory  of  one  mile  on  the  southeast  and  southwest  sides, 
with  conditions,  and  it  was  exempted  from  rates  for  one  year  from  May  20,  1640. 
In  1649,  the  boundary  line  of  Sudbury  was  laid  out  two  miles  further  westward, 
for  their  enlargement. 

§  67.  Although  Sudbury  was  a  plantation  specially  granted  to  the  inhabitants  of 
Watertown,  only  a  small  proportion  of  the  names  of  the  very  early  grantees  of  the 
lots,  are  found  in  the  Watertown  records,  and  some  of  those  returned  to  Watertown, 
[See  the  following  catalogue ;  and  see  Barry,  pp.  154,  5,  &  6.]  The  probable 
reason  that  so  few  went  to  Sudbury,  was,  that  so  many  had  migrated  to  Wethers- 
field,  Dedham,  and  other  places,  as  to  relieve  Watertown  of  its  crowd  of  settlers. 
It  will,  however,  be  found  that  a  large  part  of  Sudbury  families  were  afterwards  of 
Watertown  origin.  The  following  Watertown  names  are  found  in  the  earliest  lists 
of  Sudbury  grantees,  viz.:  Robert  Betts  ("Beast"),  Thomas  Cakebread,  Henry 
Curtis,  Robert  Daniel  ("  Darvell"),  John  Grout,  Solomon  Johnson,  John  Knight, 
George  Munnings,  Peter  Noyes,  William  Parker,  Bryan  Pendleton,  Richard  Sanger, 
Joseph  Tainter,  Anthony  White,  Goodman  [John]  Wetherill.  The  two  sons-in-law  of 
Elder  Edward  How,  viz. :  Nathaniel  Treadway  and  John  Stone  (eldest  son  of  Dea. 
Gregory  Stone,  of  Camb.),  were  also  original  grantees  of  Sudbury. 

§  68.  The  pioneers  in  the  settlement  of  Nashaway  (Lancaster),  were  Watertown 
men,  among  whom  were  Thomas  King,  the  sturdy  John  Prescott,  Richard  Linton, 
Lawrence  Waters,  Rev.  Nathaniel  Norcross,  John  Smith,  Ralph  and  John 
Houghton.  Numerous  Lancaster  families,  of  a  later  date,  can  trace  their  lineage  to 
Watertown. 

§  69.  Martha's  Vineyard  was  first  planted  by  a  colony  from  Watertown.  [See 
Mayhew,  pp.  364  and  857.] 

§  70.  It  is  known  that,  at  an  early  period,  removals  to  and  fro,  between  Water- 
town  and  Cambridge,  were  not  unfrequent,  and  some  may  have  occurred  too  early 
to  be  noticed  in  the  records.  In  1632,  Capt.  Daniel  Patrick  moved  to  Cambridge, 
and  not  long  afterwards  returned  to  Watertown.  Mr.  John  Masters,  moved  after 
1632,  from  Watertown  to  Cambridge.  It  is  highly  probable,  that  Edmund  Lockwood 
went  to  Watertown  with  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  and  that  the  next  year,  either  he 
moved  to  Cambridge,  or  was  found  to  have  settled  within  the  limits  assigned  to 
Cambridge.  Dea.  Gregory  Stone  moved  to  Cambridge  about  1637.  David  Fisk, 
Jr.,  of  Watertown,  married  in  Cambridge,  and  settled  there.  These  are  a  few  of 
the  instances  of  this  kind  that  might  be  given. 


1004  APPENDIX    I. 

§  71.  Several  emigrants  from  Watertown  were  among  the  original  proprietors  of 
Groton,  and  the  numerous  families  of  the  name  Lawrence,  Tarbell,  Page,  Sawtel, 
Holden,  Stone,  Knapp,  Clary,  Barron,  Peirce,  Boyden,  Whitney,  Crisp,  Ong,  some 
of  the  Morses  [names  found  among  the  original  proprietors]  ;  also  later  settlers  of 
the  name  of  Cady,  Headly,  Prescott,  Sanderson,  Shattuck,  some  of  the  Fiskes,  and 
many  others  in  the  female  line,  may  trace  their  lineage  to  early  settlers  of  Water- 
town.  Emigrants  from  Watertown  may  also  be  found  among  the  early  settlers,  of 
nearly  all  the  towns  in  Middlesex  County  ;  and,  in  a  considerable  number  of  them, 
their  descendants  are  probably  as  numerous  as  in  Groton. 

§  72.  Descendants  from  the  early  settlers  of  Watertown,  are  not  less  numerous 
in  Worcester  County.  As  evidence  of  this,  see  the  histories  of  Framingham, 
Shrewsbury,  Worcester,  Rutland,  and  Spencer.  The  histories  of  other  towns,  if 
equally  well  written,  would  evince  the  same  thing,  with  at  least  equal  fulness.  And 
it  is  probable  that  there  is  not  a  town  in  the  western  counties  of  Massachusetts, 
where  there  are  not,  or  have  not  been,  families  of  Watertown  origin. 

§  73.  Emigrants  from  this  old  hive  were  among  the  early  settlers  of  many  other 
towns  in  Connecticut,  besides  the  very  ancient  ones  of  Wethersfield,  Stamford, 
Branford,  New  Haven,  and  Milford,  especially  in  the  northern  and  eastern  portions 
of  the  State,  where  their  descendants  are  very  numerous.  They  were  also  among 
the  very  early  settlers  of  some  of  the  oldest  towns  on  Long  Island  ;  a  few  also  went 
to  Rhode  Island.  The  families  are  also  very  numerous  in  Maine,  New  Hampshire, 
and  Vermont,  who  are  of  Watertown  origin.  It  would  be  an  endless,  but  not  a 
fruitless  undertaking,  to  attempt  to  trace  out  fully  the  Watertown  genealogies;  and 
it  may  be  seen  in  the  preceding  pages,  in  the  attempt  to  trace  the  genealogy  of  only 
a  few  branches  to  the  present  time,  that  they  are  to  be  found  in  every  State  in  the 
Union. 

§  74.  The  following  is  an  Aphabctical  Catalogue  of  the  names  of  persons,  known 
to  have  been  proprietors  or  residents  of  Watertown,  prior  to  the  end  of  the  year 
1643 ;  compiled  chiefly  from  the  lists  of  grantees  and  proprietors,  embracing  also 
some  names  derived  from  wills,  deeds,  settlement  of  estates,  and  descriptions  of 
possessions. 

§  75.  The  earliest  of  these  lists  of  inhabitants,  is  that  of  the  grantees  in  the 
Great  Dividends,  which  were  granted  in  July,  1636,  and  it  contains  120  names. 
[See  Sect.  86-7.]  The  next  list  is  that  of  the  grantees  of  the  Beaver  Brook  plow- 
lands,  "  being  106  in  number,"  and  dated  February  28,  1636-7,  but  ordered  the 
preceding  September.  In  June,  1637,  the  Remote,  or  West  pine  [?  plain]  meadows, 
were  granted  to  "  the  townsmen  then  inhabiting,  being  114  in  number."  [For 
other  information  respecting  these  and  other  lists,  see  Sections  91,  96,  97,  100, 
102,  &c]  Before  and  about  the  time  of  these  grants,  many  changes  were  taking 
place  in  the  population,  many  migrating  to  Wethersfield,  Dedham,  &c,  and  others 
arriving  from  England,  to  buy  their  lands  and  supply  their  places,  as  stated  in  the 
preceding  sections,  and  as  will  be  seen  in  the  following  catalogue. 

§  76.  Deputies,  or  Representatives  of  Watertown  to  the  General  Court,  are  printed 
in  small  capitals  ;  other  freemen  (fr.)  in  italics.  Several  of  those  who  migrated 
from  Watertown,  became  afterwards  magistrates,  deputies,  or  freemen  of  other  towns 
or  colonies.     But  they  have  not  such  designations  in  this  catalogue. 

An  asterisk  (*)  denotes  clerical  persons ;  ministers  and  ruling-elders,  but  not 
deacons. 

A  cross  (f)  before  a  number  denotes  the  date  of  embarkation  in  England,  with 
the  name,  in  some  instances,  of  the  place  of  embarkation. 

A  double  cross  (|)  denotes  a  selectman. 

In  some  instances  the  localities  of  the  homestalls  are  given.  In  others  only  the 
boundaries  are  given,  as  the  localities  are  not  yet  satisfactorily  ascertained.  The 
term  homestall  (instead  of  homestead),  is  retained  as  it  is  the  one  always  made  use 
of  in  the  early  records. 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1005 

\  77.  Daniel  Abbot,  applied  to  be  admitted  freeman  in  Oct.  1630,  before  New  Town  (Cam- 
bridge) was  settled,  and  he  was  adm.  the  next  May.  In  Ap.  1631,  the  Court  ordered  a 
military  watch  of  4  to  be  kept  every  night  at  Dorchester  and  Watertown.  About  five 
weeks  afterwards  (May  18th),  Daniel  Abbot  was  "fined  5s.  for  refusing  to  watch,  and 
for  other  ill  behavior  showed  towards  Capt.  Patrick."  As  Capt.  Patrick  belonged  to 
"Watertown,  and  as  no  watch  was  ordered  to  be  kept  at  New  Town,  there  can  be  little 
doubt,  but  that  Daniel  Abbot  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Watertown.  He  may  have 
settled  within  the  limits  afterwards  assigned  to  New  Town  [see  Lockwood,  p.  854].  His 
fine  was  remitted  Sept.  8,  1638  ;  and  the  Colonial  Records  (June  4,  1639),  say  "Daniel 
Abbot  is  departed  to  New  Providence."  _ 

Robert  Abbot,  fr.  1634;  was  grantee  of  a  homestall  and  meadow  on  the  East  side  of  Mount 
Auburn,  and  of  a  lot  in  the  Great  Dividends  in  July,  1636 ;  all  of  which  were  bought  by 
Roger  Wellington.     He  went   early  to  Connecticut  [see  Reg.  Abbott  Fam.,  p.  173]. 

Richard  Ambler,  of  WTat.  1639,  not  a  grantee,  went  to  Stamford,  Conn.  His  homestall  was 
the  lot  in  the  town  plot  granted  to  Richard  Beers,  S.  side  of  Belmont  St.  near  Warren  St. 

Thomas  Andrews,  not  a  grantee,  but  proprietor  of  4  lots ;  homestall  S.  of  Camb.  road, 
near  Camb.  line. 

Edmund  Angier,  fr.  1640,  proprietor  of  3  A.  East  of  Mount  Auburn,  in  1614,  but  probably 
never  a  resident  of  Wat. 

Thomas  Arnold,  f  1635  ;  fr.  1640;  grantee  of  8  lots  and  purchaser  of  1  lot;  moved  to  Provi-

X  John  Bachelor,  grantee  of  6  lots,  some,  if  not  all,  of  which  were  purchased  by  J.  Norcross.

William  Baker,  fr.  1634  ;  a  grantee  in  the  Great  Dividends  in  July,  1636.  [There  is  reason 
to  suppose  that  there  is  a  misnomer,  and  that  these  grants  were  made  to  only  two,  perhaps 
only  one  person  of  the  name  of  Baker.] 

John  Ball.  (?)  On  the  list  of  Wintbrop  [II.  p.  340],  supposed  to  be  the  names  of  those  intend- 
ing to  come  over  in  1630,  is  the  name  of  "Mr.  Ball."  If  this  was  the  John  Ball,  of 
Concord,  he  may  have  arrived  before  Concord  was  granted;  settled  first  in  Wat.,  and 
moved  to  Concord,  in  1635,  prior  to  the  date  of  the  earliest  list  of  proprietors  of  Water- 
town.

of  the  two  lots  in  the  town  plot,  granted  to  Simon  Stone  and  J.  Firmin. 

John  Benjamin,  -j-  1632;  fr.  1632;  first  of  Camb.,  afterwards  Wat,  where  he  d.  1645.  The 
circumstance  that  his  name  is  not  in  any  list  of  grantees,  renders  it  probable  that 
he  did  not  move  to  Wat.  before  1637  or  8.  His  homestall  of  60  A.  was  situated  E.  of 
Dorchester  Field,  and  bounded  S.  by  Charles  River.  He  had  3  other  large  lots,  grants 
to  R.  Feake.

in  1642-44,  he  then  being  only  21  to  23  years  of  age,  it  seems  probable  that  the  lands 
were  held  in  his  name  for  his  father,  Nathaniel,  the  "rich  tanner."  His  homestall  was 
at  the  N.  W.  corner  of  Belmont  and  Common  Streets,  bounded  N.  by  the  homestall  and 
meadow  granted  to  John  Lawrence.     [See  p.  819.]

Lexington  St.,  and  South  by  the  homestalls  of  T.  Philbrick,  John  Stowers,  Anthony 
Peirce.  This  lot  passed  to  his  son  John,  then  to  Elisha  Cook,  of  Boston,  and  from  him 
to  Andrew  White  and  Nathaniel  Stearns.  It  was  for  a  long  time  the  residence  of  the  heirs 
of  A.  White.    [See  White.  5,  p.  639.] 

Edmund  Blois,  fr.  1639,  d.  16m.  His  wife  and  son  embarked  for  N.  Eng.,  in  1634.  He  was 
a  grantee  of  5  lots.     His  6  A.  lot  in  Town  Plot,  N.  E.  cor.  of  Main  and  Warren  Streets. 

X  [William  Bond,  the  first  of  the  name  in  Watertown,  but  too  young  to  be  a  proprietor  in 
1642-4.  It  is  supposed  that  he  came  over  in  1630,  then  aged  5  yrs.,  as  the  nephew, 
adopted  child,  and  heir  of  Dea.  Ephraim  Child.]

Timothy  Hawkins.

Thomas  Brigham,  |1635;  fr.  1637;  not  a  grantee.  His  lot  of  14  A.  was  bounded  S.  by  the 
river,  and  Sir  Richard  S. ;  E.  by  Camb.  line  and  John  Marrett,  N.  by  Cambridge  Street,

tance W.  of  the  Old  Grave  Yard,  with  the  3  A.  lot  of  J.  Prescott  between  his  and  the 
street.  It  is  probable  that  this  was  his  2d  residence.  He  had  a  7  A.  lot  on  the  E.  of 
Mount  Auburn,  bounded  South  by  Bank  Lane.  Between  this  and  the  river  he  had  2£

John  Winter,  d.  1662  ;  a  grantee  of  6  lots.  His  homestall,  of  6  A.,  bounded  E.  and  N.  by 
highway  ;  S.  and  W.  by  Common  land,  was  granted  "upon  condition  he  useth  his  trade 
of  tanning."  He  had  another  homestall,  of  6  A.,  granted,  bounded  N.  by  Belmont  St. ; 
E.  by  Common  St.  ;  S.  by  H.  Kemball ;  W.  by  N.  Bowman. 

Fvichard  Woodward,  y  1634,  at  Ipswich,  d.  1665,  aged  about  76  ;  grantee  of  9  lots  ;  purchaser 
of  6  lots  before  1644.  His  homestall,  of  12  A.,  was  bounded  E.  by  J.  Spring,  M.  Under- 
wood, and  highway  ;  N.  W.  by  J.  Wincoll ;  N.  E.  by  John  Knight  and  John  Wincoll. 

George  Woodward  (son  of  Richard),  y  1634,  at  Ipswich;  fr.  1646;  d.  1676.  In  1644,  pro- 
prietor of  a  homestall  of  10  A.,  bounded  W.  by  Lex.  St. ;  E.  by  E.  How  and  R.  Wood- 
ward ;  N.  by  Richard  Benjamin. 

John  Woolcot;  fr.  1635;  d.  1638. 

Winifred  Woolcot,  wid.  of  John ;  grantee  of  6  acres  in  the  town  plot,  and  of  a  farm  of  183 
A. ;  in  1644,  proprietor  of  4  other  lots.  Her  homestall,  of  8  A.,  was  bounded  S.  by  the 
highway  [Camb.  Road,  opposite  to  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery]  ;  N.  by  J.  Hayward ;  W.  by 
Garret  Church  ;  E.  by  Henry  Felch. 

William  Woolcocks  [Wilcox] ;  fr.  1636,  of  Camb.  ;  proprietor,  about  1640,  of  the  homestall, 
of  3  A.,  some  time  held  by  R.  Keies,  q.  v. 

§  78.  Freemen. — The  following  is  a  list  of  the  freemen  of  Watertown,  admitted 
previous  to  the  union  of  the  colonies  of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  Bay,  with  the 
date  of  their  admission.  In  order  for  such  admission,  it  was  necessary  to  be  a 
church-member,  and  for  this  reason  there  were  some  men  holding  respectable  social 
positions,  who  never  were  thus  admitted,  or  not  until  advanced  age.  It  was  not 
necessary,  however,  to  be  a  church-member,  or  a  freeman,  in  order  to  hold  office  in 
the  town  or  appointments  from  the  Court.  This  could  be  done  by  taking  the  oath 
of  fidelity,  and,  in  some  instances,  townsmen,  who  were  not  freemen,  were  allowed  to 
vote.  Thomas  Mayhew  held  a  responsible  appointment  from  the  Governor  and 
Assistants,  more  than  two  years  before  he  was  admitted  freeman.  Joseph  Bemis 
and  Thomas  Flagg,  were  never  admitted,  although  they  were  both  selectmen,  and 
held  other   offices.     John   Bigelow,  Sen.,  took   the  oath  of  fidelity  in  1652,  but  he

was  not  admitted  freeman  until  April,  1690,  at  the  age  of  73.  Roger  Wellington 
was  not  admitted  until  80  or  81  years  of  age,  when  he  had  been  many  times 
selectman.  William  Bond  was  admitted  in  1682,  more  than  20  years  after  he  had 
been  selectman,  juror,  constable,  and  likewise  town  clerk,  and  only  a  short  time 
before  he  was  elected  a  magistrate.  "  Mr."  William  Goddarcl,  was  admitted  in 
1690,  more  than  20  years  after  he  was  a  selectman.  John  Nevinson,  being  a 
churchman,  was  never  admitted. 

§  79.  A  star  (*)  prefixed  to  a  name  denotes  those  who  applied  in  Oct.,  1630,  to  be 
admitted.  Among  those  who  applied  at  that  time,  was  Nathaniel  Bowman,  of 
Watertown,  whose  name  does  not  appear  in  the  list  of  freemen.  It  will  be  seen 
that  some  of  the  very  early  settlers  and  proprietors,  or  natives  of  Watertown,  were 
admitted  freemen  after  they  had  moved  to  other  towns.  This  mark  (?)  is  prefixed 
to  the  names  of  freemen,  who  were  early  proprietors,  where  there  is  an  uncertainty 
or  improbability  as  to  their  having  ever  been  residents.

ALLOTMENTS  OF  LAND,  POSSESSIONS,  &c. 

§  80.  In  early  deeds,  inventories,  &c,  there  is  a  very  frequent  reference  to 
several  kinds  or  classes  of  lots,  named  generally  in  reference  to  some  grant  or 
allotment  of  lands  ;  and  such  information  concerning  them  as  we  have  obtained,  is 
here  presented.  It  is  derived  chiefly  from  several  schedules  of  grants  and  sum- 
maries of  possessions  contained  in  the  early  records.  Of  the  earliest  grants,  called 
the  Small  Lots,  there  is  no  schedule,  and  the  information  respecting  them  is  derived 
from  the  summaries  of  grants  and  possessions.  The  same  may  be  said  in  regard  to 
the  marsh  lands. 

§  81.  1.  Ilomestalls  and  home-lots.  These  were  collectively  called  the  Small 
Lots,  and  they  comprised,  or  rather  were  scattered  over,  nearly  the  whole  of  the 
present  territory  of  Watertown.  There  were  within  these  limits  a  few  tracts  of 
land,  of  uncertain  or  unascertained  extent  and  dimensions,  called  Commons,  devoted 
to  the  common  use  or  benefit.  There  was  the  meeting-house  lot  of  40  acres,  some- 
times called  the  Meeting-house  Common.  Neither  its  situation,  boundaries,  nor 
dimensions  are  mentioned  in  the  records ;  but  it  is  pretty  clearly  inferred,  from  a 
collation  of  the  references  in  the  descriptions  of  grants  and  possessions,  that  it  was 
situated  between  School  St.  on  the  West;  Belmont  St.  on  the  North,  and  Mount 
Auburn  St.  on  the  S.  East.  "  Fifteen  acres  of  upland  upon  the  Meeting-house 
Common  were  granted  to"  Kev.  George  Phillips.  Kev.  John  Sherman,  was  allowed 
to  take  the  wood  from  a  part  of  it.  A  part  of  it  was  ordered  to  be  sold  in  16G7  to 
defray  the  expense  of  rebuilding  the  Mill  Bridge.  Pequusset  Common  is  the  one 
most  frequently  mentioned  in  the  records,  and  it  is  the  one  afterwards  sometimes 
called  King's  Common.  It  was  bounded  N.  by  Cambridge  Line ;  W.  by  the  Great 
Dividends  ;  S.  and  E.  by  the  Small  Lots.  Pequusset  Common  was  distinct  from 
Pequusset  Meadow.  The  latter  was  a  narrow  strip  of  land,  a  little  distance  east  of 
Lexington  Street,  and  running  south  from  that  Common  towards  Belmont  Street. 
This  meadow  was  granted  in  small  lots  to  several  proprietors,  before  the  order  was 
passed  (May  21,  1638),  for  appropriating  Pequusset  Common  to  the  general  use. 
[See  p.  996.]  The  common  on  the  west  side  of  the  Great  Pond  was  probably  in 
Waltham.  Other  lots  were  granted  to  aid  objects  of  general  interest,  viz.,  the  wear 
and  the  mill.     A  small  lot  on  the  river  was  reserved  for  a  public  landing. 


1020  APPENDIX    I. 

§  82.  There  were  small  tracts  of  marsh  on  the  border  of  Charles  River,  of  which 
there  is  no  schedule  of  the  grantees  or  proprietors,  but  they  are  mentioned  in  the 
summaries  of  grants  and  possessions.  They  bore  a  very  high  price  in  proportion  to 
that  of  any  other  land,  as  may  be  seen  in  inventories ;  but  they  are  not  men- 
tioned in  the  valuations  of  land  for  the  purpose  of  assessments.  Most  of  them  were 
probably  disposed  of  at,  or  very  soon  after,  the  first  planting  of  the  town.  There 
were,  however,  instances  of  grants  of  marsh  land  as  late  as  1635,  as  in  the  case  of 
Mr.  William  Paine,  who  embarked  for  New  England  in  that  year.  The  town 
retained  for  a  long  time,  in  various  parts  of  it,  several  parcels  of  land,  usually  called 
"  common  land,"  when  mentioned  as  a  boundary,  yet  probably  not  devoted  to  general 
use,  like  the  commons,  already  mentioned.  Some  of  them  were  retained  until  after 
the  incorporation  of  Waltham. 

§  83.  It  does  not,  I  think,  appear,  either  in  the  colonial  or  town  records,  by  what 
tenure  or  on  what  terms  the  freemen  of  the  town  held  the  lands,  or  were  authorized 
to  grant  them  to  the  townsmen.  With  the  few  following  exceptions  of  grants  made 
by  the  Court,  they  appear  to  have  been  all  granted  and  allotted  by  the  freemen  of 
the  town  ;  and  they  made  no  grants,  beside  the  Small  Lots,  until  after  the  civil 
affairs  of  the  town  began  to  be  "  ordered"  by  a  board  of  selectmen,  in  1634.  In 
Nov.,  1632,  the  Court  granted  to  Mr.  George  Phillips  30  acres  of  land  "  up  Charles 
River,  on  the  south  side,  beginning  at  a  creek  a  little  higher  than  the  pines,  and  so 
upwards  towards  the  wear."  This  is  probably  the  30  A.  lot  of  meadow,  which  in 
the  list  of  Mr.  Phillips's  grants,  is  described  as  bounded  "  the  West  with  the  river, 
the  S.  E.  [S.  and  E.]  by  Cambridge  Line."  We  should  suppose,  from  the  descrip- 
tion of  the  grant  in  the  colonial  records,  that  the  lot  was  nearly  opposite  the  U.  S. 
Arsenal,  and  that  it  was  within  the  limits  soon  afterwards  assigned  to  Cambridge. 
It  is  not  easy  to  reconcile  the  two  descriptions.  [See  sections  30  and  31.]  On  the 
1st  of  April,  1634,  the  Court  granted  Mr.  John  Oldham  500  acres  of  land, 
"  lying  near  Mount  Feake,  on  the  Northwest  of  Charles  River."  [See  pp.  382  and 
861.]  This  grant  was  made  before  the  western  boundary  of  Watertown  was  deter- 
mined by  the  Court,  and  before  any  grants  had  been  made  by  the  freemen  of  the 
town,  besides  the  small  lots.  On  March  3d,  1635-6,  at  the  same  time,  and  in  the 
same  order  that  determined  the  western  boundary  of  the  town,  the  Court  "  agreed 
that  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall  shall  have  one  hundred  acres  of  meadow,  to  be  set  out 
indifferently  by  John  Pratt  and  William  Rescue."  This,  also,  was  a  few  months 
before  any  grants  had  been  made  besides  the  small  lots.  In  the  schedule  of  pos- 
sessions made  a  few  years  afterwards,  this  lot  is  described  as  "remote  meadow, 
bounded  with  the  farm  land."  It  was  contiguous  to  the  farm  of  200  acres,  and  to 
the  100  A.  lot  in  the  Great  Dividends,  both  not  long  afterwards  granted  to  him  by 
the  freemen  of  the  town.  The  foregoing  three  grants  appear  to  be  the  only  ones 
made  by  the  Court  within  the  limits  of  the  town,  and  none  was  thus  made  after  the 
western  boundary  was  determined. 

§  84.  There  was  an  early  map  or  plan  of  Watertown  in  the  possession  of  the  late 
Abner  Sanderson,  Esq.,  of  Waltham.  It  was  lent  to  a  gentleman  engaged  in  his- 
torical investigations,  and  unfortunately  destroyed  by  a  conflagration  in  Boston,  in 
1825,  and  no  copy  of  it  left.  It  was  probably  made  by  Abraham  Browne,  as  it  was 
done  in  1640,  while  he  was  the  town  surveyor.  This  loss  leaves  it  very  difficult  to  de- 
termine the  exact  positions,  where  some  of  the  first  planters  settled.  In  order  to  do 
this,  it  would  be  necessary  to  construct  a  plan  of  the  town  from  the  schedules  of 
possessions.  These  give  the  number  of  acres  in  each  lot  with  its  surroundings ; 
but  their  dimensions  are  not  given,  and  it  is  evident  that  they  were  very  irregular. 
According  to  the  descriptions,  the  roads  and  the  boundaries  of  lots  nearly  all  ran 
parallel  with  the  lines  of  latitude  and  longitude,  yet,  these  seem  to  be  the  only 
directions  in  which  they  did  not  run.  Some  highway,  road,  or  lane,  is  generally 
given  as  a  boundary,  but  it  is  seldom  named,  and  when  named,  not  always  clearly 
identified  at  this  time ;  for,  since  that  time,  other  roads  have  been  laid  out,  and 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.

some  of  the  old  ones  vacated  or  changed.    In  laying  out  the  lots  and  roads,  the  sur- 
veyor seems  to  have  made  no  use  of  chain  or  compass. 

§  85.  It  is  probable  that,  of  the  homestalis  and  homelots,  allotted  to  the  first 
planters,  few  or  none  exceeded  16  A.  They  varied  from  this  to  one  acre,  and  their 
average  was  probably  about  5  or  6  Acres.  In  the  schedules  of  possessions  there  are 
several  much  larger  homestalis,  a  few  of  which  were  grants  ;  but  it  is  very  doubtful 
whether  any  of  them  were  made  at  first.  William  Jennison  had  a  homestall  of  50 
A.  granted  him ;  but,  as  in  the  case  of  Abraham  Browne,  John  Warren,  Isaac 
Sterne,  Ephraim  Child,  W.  Hammond,  and  others,  he  had  at  first  a  smaller  lot 
granted  him  nearer  to  the  river,  and  the  large  lot  was  probably  a  subsequent  grant.  It 
is  certain  that  most  of  the  homestalis  exceeding  16  A.  were  not  grants  to  the  pos- 
sessors, and  that  very  few  of  the  holders  of  large  homestalis  were  first  planters. 
The  records  show  that,  in  some  instances,  they  were  acquired  by  purchase,  and  made 
up  of  several  small  lots,  obtained  of  grantees,  who  migrated  early  to  other  planta- 
tions ;  as  in  the  case  of  Jeremiah  Norcross,  whose  homestall  of  26  A.  was  composed 
of  4  lots,  purchased  of  different  persons.  John  Benjamin,  who  moved  from  New 
Town  to  Watertown  about  1637,  had  a  homestall  of  60  A.,  probably  obtained  and 
made  up  in  the  same  manner,  as  no  part  of  it  was  granted  to  him.  In  some  in- 
stances they  were  obtained  partly  by  grant  and  partly  by  purchase,  as  in  the  case  of 
Simon  Stone,  who  had  a  homestall  of  50  A.,  of  which  only  12  A.  were  granted,  and 
the  rest  purchased  of  several  different  persons.  The  diminutive  size  and  great  num- 
ber of  the  small  lots  led  to  frequent  early  changes  in  proprietorship,  and  this  cir- 
cumstance enhances  very  much  the  difficulty,  already  referred  to,  of  determining  the 
spots,  where  the  primitive  settlers  first  planted.* 

§  86.  2d.  The  Great  Dividends.  After  the  small  lots,  the  earliest  general  grant 
of  lauds  by  the  freemen  was  that  of  the  Great  Dividends,  dated  "  July  25,  1636." 
"  A  grant  of  the  Great  Dividends  [allotted]  to  the  freemen  [and]  io  all  the  Towns- 
men then  inhabiting,  being  120  in  number.  The  land  being  divided  into  four  divi- 
sions, every  division  being  160  rods  in  breadth, — beginning  next  to  the  small  lots, 
and  bounded  with  Cambridge  Line  on  the  North  side,  and  with  the  Plowlands  on 
the  South.  To  be  laid  out  successively  one  after  another  (all  the  meadows  and  cart- 
ways excepted),  for  them  to  enclose  or  feed  in  common."  These  four  divisions  were 
sometimes  called  the  Squadrons,  and  the  lines  dividing  them,  the  Squadron  lines. 
These  divisions  are  said  "  to  begin  next  to  the  small  lots,"  but  it  is  difficult  to  deter- 
mine this  line  exactly.  Pequusset  Meadow  is  described  as  bounded  on  the  North  by 
Cambridge  Line,  and  on  the  West  by  the  Great  Dividends.  It  is  conjectured  that 
the  Dividends  began  not  far  from  the  present  boundary  between  Watertown  and 
Waltham,  and  that  for  some  distance  these  were  bounded  by  the  road  (now  Warren 
St.),  which  was  the  western  boundary  of  the  Town  Plot. 

The  following  are  the  names  of  the  grantees,  with  the  number  of  the  lot  and  the 
number  of  acres.  The  dividends  were  numbered  from  the  south  1,  2,  3,4  ;  the  4th 
being  bounded  N.  by  Cambridge  Line.  Many  of  the  lots  changed  owners  before  1614, 
and  the  name  of  the  purchaser  follows  that  of  the  grantee,  in  these  tables. 

§  87.  The  First  Great  Dividend,  beginning  at  the  small  lots  at  the  East,  was 
bounded  on  the  South  by  the  Beaver  Brook  Plowlands;  running  W.  N.  W.  as 
follows :

*  Since  this  paragraph  was  written,  notwithstanding  the  discouragement  presented,  we  have  succeeded  in  deter- 
mining the  localities,  or  relative  position,  of  a  great  portion  of  the  homestalis,  as  originally  granted.  We  hope  to 
have  the  results  of  this  investigation  sufficiently  matured  to  be  presented  in  Appendix  III.

§  91.  3d  Beaver  Brook  Plowlands.  The  next  general  grant  of  land  was  that  of 
the  Beaver  Brook  Plowland,  partly  meadow,  and  partly  upland,  the  record  of  which 
is  as  follows :  "  1636  [36-7],  Feb.  28.  A  grant  of  plowlands  at  Beaver  Brook 
Plains,  divided  and  lotted  out  by  the  freemen  to  all  the  Townsmen  then  inhabiting, 
being  106  in  number,  allowing  one  acre  for  a  person,  and  likewise  for  cattle  valued 
at  £20  the  head  ;  beginning  next  the  Small  Lots  beyond  the  wear,  and  bounded 
with  the  Great  [Dividend]  Lots  on  the  north  side,  and  Charles  River  on  the  south, 
divided  by  a  cartway  in  the  midst ;  the  first  lot  to  begin  next  the  river,  the  second 
on  the  north  side  of  the  cartway,  and  to  be  laid  out  successively  until  the  lots  are 
ended."  It  is  probable  that  the  grant  was  made  in  Sept.,  1636,  when  a  committee 
was  appointed  to  "  devise  to  every  man  his  propriety  of  Meadow  and  Upland  that  is 
plowable,  and  the  rest  to  lie  common ;"  and  that  the  date  of  the  record  (Feb.  28, 
1636-7),  was  the  time  when  the  allotments  and  schedules  were  completed.  The 
lands  then  granted  amounted  to  741  acres,  of  which  about  285  A.  were  at  the  east 
of  Beaver  Brook,  and  were  designated,  "  lots  in  the  Hither  Plain,"  sometimes 
called  the  Little  Plain.  The  rest  of  the  lots  were  situated  west  of  Beaver  Brook, 
and  were  called  the  "  lots  in  the  Further  Plain/'  sometimes  called  the  Great  Plain. 

§  92.  The  lots  in  the  Hither  Plain  began  at  the  Driftway  (now  called  Gore  St.), 
and  a  line  continued  southwardly,  from  the  S.  end  of  the  Driftway,  to  the  river. 
These  lots  were  arranged  or  plotted  in  two  series  or  ranges.  One  of  them  was 
bounded  on  the  south  by  the  river,  and  on  the  north  by  the  cartway  betwixt  lots 
[Pleasant  St.];  and  the  lots  in  it  were  designated  by  the  odd  numbers,  1,  3,  5,  &c, 
to  43  or  45,  and  each  lot  extended  from  the  cartway  to  the  river.  The  other  series, 
beginning  at  the  Driftway,  were  bounded  on  the  south  by  the  cartway  betwixt  lots, 
and  on  the  north  by  the  highway,  afterwards  long  known  as  the  Sudbury  Road, 
now  called  Main  Street.  Each  lot  extended  from  one  of  these  streets  to  the  other, 
and  they  were  designated  by  the  even  numbers,  2,  4,  6,  &c,  to  36.  These  two 
ranges  did  not  extend  so  as  to  be  contiguous  to  Beaver  Brook.  A  small  strip  of 
land  on  its  eastern  border  was  retained  as  town  or  common  land. 

§  93.  Although  the  40  A.  lot  of  Mr.  Phillips  is  placed  at  the  head  of  the  schedule 
of  these  grants,  it  is  evident  it  was  within  the  limits  of  the  Small  Lots,  and  did 
not  properly  belong  to  the  Beaver  Brook  plowland  grants,  from  which  it  was  sepa- 
rated by  the  Driftway.  It  belonged  to  "  the  small  lots  beyond  the  wear,"  and  the 
grant  was  probably  made  to  him,  at  the  same  time  that  others,  in  the  immediate 
neighborhood  and  contiguous  to  it,  were  granted  to  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  Edward 
How,  and  Abraham  Browne.  This  improper  insertion  of  the  name  of  Mr.  Phillips, 
will  account  in  part  for  the  discrepancy  between  the  number  of  grants  said  to  have 
been  made  [106]  and  the  number  of  names  on  the  list  [108].  The  same  thing 
occurred  in  regard  to  the  list  and  allotments  of  the  Town  Plot.  The  name  of  Mr. 
Phillips  is  the  first  on  the  list,  although  his  lot  was  not  in  the  Town  Plot,  and  it  was 
probably  granted  to  him  some  time  before  the  allotments  of  that  plot.

APPENDIX   I. 


§  94.  In  the  grant  of  the  Beaver  Brook  Plowlands,  they  are  described  as  "  begin- 
ning next  the  small  lots  beyond  the  wear."  The  following  is  the  order  of  the  lots, 
with  the  names  of  the  grantees,  between  Sudbury  Road  on  the  north  and  the  way 
betwixt  lots  (Pleasant  St.)  on  the  south,  beginning  at  the  way  to  the  Little  Plain 
(Howard  St.).  1st.  The  homestall  and  adjoining  homelots  of  Abraham  Browne, 
40  A.  2d.  A  lot  of  12  A.  granted  to  Edward  How,  and  by  his  heirs  sold  to 
Robert  Harrington,  from  whom  it  passed  to  his  son  Edward,  and  after  probably  to 
his  grandson  Edward.  3d.  A  40  A.  lot  granted  to  Rev.  George  Phillips,  and  by 
his  heirs  sold  to  Edward  Garfield,  about  1650.  This  was  bounded  on  the  west  by 
the  Driftway,  which  was  the  boundary  between  the  Small  Lots  and  the  Beaver  Brook 
Plowlands.  In  the  Inventory  of  E.  Garfield,  this  lot  is  described  as  "  on  the  Little 
Plain,  near  Sudbury  Road,"  and  it  was  then  (1672),  apprized  at  £60.  In  late  times 
it  became  the  elegant  residence  of  Governor  Gore,  and  it  now  belongs  to  J.  S. 
Copley  Greene,  Esq.  Immediately  south  of  this  lot  of  Mr.  Phillips,  and  separated 
from  it  by  the  cartway  betwixt  lots,  was  a  20  A.  lot  of  plowland,  granted  to  Sir  R. 
Saltonstall.  It  was  bounded  on  the  west  by  the  first  lot  (John  Whitney's)  in  the 
Beaver  Brook  Plowlands,  and  his  son  Samuel  afterwards  sold  it  to  Whitney.  As 
this  lot  was  bounded  W.  by  the  land  of  Whitney,  it  appears  that  the  Driftway  did 
not  extend  to  the  river.  Situated  E.  and  S.  E.  of  this  lot  of  Sir  Richard,  between 
the  river  and  Pleasant  Street,  were  lots  belonging  to  John  Knight,  Edward  How, 
Joseph  Morse,  Richard  Woodward,  and  Abraham  Browne. 

§  95.  The  lots  in  the  Further  Plain  (in  later  times  called  Waltham  Plain),  begin- 
ning at  Beaver  Brook,  were  bounded  on  the  south  by  Charles  River,  and  on  the 
N.  by  the  Great  Dividends,  or  "common  land."  They  were  plotted  in  two  ranges, 
like  those  in  the  Hither  Plain,  and  separated  from  each  other  by  Sudbury  Road, 
now  called  Main  Street.  The  range  next  the  river  were  designated  by  the  odd  num- 
bers, continued  from  the  Hither  Plain,  beginning  No.  45,  and  each  lot  extended 
from  the  river  to  Sudbury  Road.  The  other  range,  on  the  north  side  of  the  high- 
way, were  designated  by  the  even  numbers,  continued  from  the  Hither  Plain,  and 
each  lot  extended  from  Sudbury  Road  to  Great  Dividend  lands. 

The  following  table  shows  the  names  of  the  grantees  in  each  of  the  four  ranges, 
their  order  of  arrangement,  and  the  number  of  acres  granted  to  each.  Many  of  the 
lots  changed  proprietors  before  1644,  and  the  second  name  to  a  lot  is  that  of  the 
purchaser.  The  year,  added  in  a  few  instances,  shows  that  the  sale  took  place  at  a 
later  date  than  1644.

was  made  only  a  few  months  after  that  of  the  Beaver  Brook  Plowlands,  and  the 
following  is  the  record  of  it.  "  1637,  June,  26.  A  grant  of  the  Remote  or  West 
Pine  Meadow,  divided  and   lotted   out  to  all  the  Townsmen  then  inhabiting,  being 

*  In  the  list  of  S.  Freeman's  possessions,  this  lot  is  included  as  a  grant.    This  is  probably  a  mistake,  unless  Gay- 
had  relinquished  it  to  the  town.

114  in  number,  allowing  one  acre  for  a  person,  and  likewise  for  cattle,  valued  at  201b. 
the  head,  beginning  next  the  Playne  Meadow,  and  to  go  on  until  the  lots  are 
ended.  Granted  to  Robert  Feake,  forty  acres;  to  Edward  How,  twenty-four  acres." 
By  comparing  this  order  with  that  granting  the  Beaver  Brook  Plowlands,  it  will  be 
seen  that  in  each  of  them  the  same  rule  was  adopted  as  to  the  quantity  of  land 
allotted  to  each  individual.  The  lots  were  numbered,  with  the  number  of  acres  in 
each,  with  the  exception  of  those  of  R.  Feake,  and  E.  How,  which  seem  to  have 
been  distinct  from  the  others.  These  meadows  were  probably  in  the  southern  and 
southeastern  part  of  Weston;  but  their  location  aud  dimensions  have  not  been  ascer- 
tained, nor  has  it  been  discovered  that  there  was  any  regular  order  or  series  in  the 
arrangement  of  the  lots. 

§97.  5th.  Town  Plot,  Township,  Town  Lots.  July  30,  1635,  it  was  "Agreed, 
by  the  consent  of  the  freemen,  that  two  hundred  acres  of  upland  near  the  Mill  shall 
be  reserved  as  most  convenient  to  make  a  township."  This  was  a  year  before  any 
of  the  general  grants  of  land  were  made ;  but  the  records  do  not  show  that  there 
was  any  order  for  the  survey  or  allotment  of  this  reservation  until  Ap.  9,  1638, 
when  it  was  ordered  that  the  Selectmen  "shall  have  power  to  give  out  the  land  upon 
the  Town  Plots  to  several  persons,  according  to  their  discretions."  At  a  town  meet- 
ing, two  weeks  later  (Ap.  23),  it  was  "Ordered,  that  those  freemen  of  the  congrega- 
tion [to  whom  these  lots  were  assigued]  shall  build  and  dwell  upon  their  lots  at  the 
town  plot,  and  not  to  alienate  them  by  selling  or  exchanging  them  to  any  foreigner, 
but  to  the  freemen  of  the  congregation ;  it  being  our  real  intent  to  sit  down  there 
close  together,  and,  therefore,  these  lots  were  granted  to  those  freemen,  that  inhabited 
most  remote  from  the  meeting-house,  and  dwell  most  scattered."  [See  p.  996.]  At 
the  date  of  this  order,  it  is  probable  that  the  meeting-house  was  at  the  east  of 
Mount  Auburn. 

§  98.  There  has  been  much  perplexity  in  ascertaining,  or  even  conjecturing,  where 
this  reservation  for  a  town  plot  was  located;  for  there  is  nothing  in  the  town  records 
indicating  its  locality,  boundaries,  or  dimensions.  We  have,  however,  after  a  care- 
ful collation  and  analysis  of  circumstantial  data,  arrived  at  a  conclusion,  which  is 
satisfactory,  if  not  clearly  demonstrable,  viz. :  that  it  was  that  tract  of  land, 
bounded  E.  by  Lexington  St.,  S.  by  Sudbury  Road  (Main  St.),  N.  by  Belmont 
St.,  and  W.  by  that  continuation  of  Belmont  St.  (a  part  of  which  is  now  called 
Warren  St.),  where  it  turns  to  the  south  until  it  intersects  Main  Street.  A  road  ran 
E.  and  W.  through  the  middle  of  it,  now  called  Warren  Street.  There  was  onei'ange 
of  lots  on  the  south  side  of  Belmont  St. ;  one  on  the  north,  and  another  on  the  south 
side  of  Warren  St.,  and  a  fourth  range  on  the  N.  side  of  Main  St.,  (Sudbury  Road). 
As  no  penalty  was  attached  to  the  order,  requiring  the  grantees  to  build  and  settle  on 
their  lots,  and  forbidding  their  alienation  to  any  except  freemen,  the  order  appears  to 
have  been  entirely  disregarded,  as  it  is  clear  that  very  few,  if  any,  of  the  grantees  ever 
resided  on  them.  The  greatest  part  of  the  lots  very  soon  passed  into  other  hands, 
and  in  many  instances  to  those  who  were  never  admitted  freemen,  or  not  until  a 
long  time  afterwards. 

§  99.  In  the  volume  of  town  records  containing  the  other  schedules  of  ^possessions, 
is  the  following  list  of  the  grantees  of  the  town  plot.  The  name  and  lot  of  Rev.  George 
Phillips  is  at  the  head  of  the  list,  although,  as  in  the  schedule  of  the  Beaver  Brook 
Plowlands  [Sect.  93],  this  lot  was  not  in  the  town  plot,  but  on  the  east  side  of 
Lexington  Street.  At  least  three  lots  (6  A.  to  John  Whitney,  Sen.;  6  A.  to  John 
Sherman ;  and  8  A.  to  T.  Arnold),  were  granted  in  this  plot,  after  the  following 
list  was  recorded.  "  1638,  Ap.  9.  A  Division  of  land  at  the  Town  Plot,  No.  40. 
George  Phillips,  12  Acres;  Robert  Feake,  9  A. ;  Richard  Browne,  9  A.;  Daniel

Browne,  6  A. ;  William  Potter,  4  A. ;  Thomas  Philbriek,  3  A  ;  Thomas  Carter, 
—  A."  The  reservation  ordered  for  a  township  was  to  contain  200  A. ;  but  the 
above  grants,  deducting  that  of  Mr.  Phillips,  amounted  to  238  Acres.  To  this,  are 
to  be  added  the  lots  subsequently  granted  to  Whitney,  Sherman,  and  Arnold. 

§  100.  6th.  Lieu  of  Township  Lots,  or  lots  beyond  the  Further  Plain.  On  the  17th 
July,  1638,  three  months  after  the  allotment  of  the  Township  Lots,  it  was  by  the 
freemen  "  Ordered,  that  all  those  freemen  that  have  no  lots  at  the  Township,  shall 
have  12  Acre  lots  beyond  Beaver  Plain,  and  all  other  townsmen  shall  have  6  Acre 
lots  in  [  (?)  beyond]  the  said  Plain."  The  lots  thus  granted,  are  those  often  men- 
tioned in  inventories  and  lists  of  possessions,  as  Lieu  of  Township  land.  They 
were  situated  at  the  west  of  Waltham  [Beaver]  Plain,  immediately  south  of  the 
Great  Dividends,  and  extended  westward  beyond  Stony  Brook.  The  names  of 
at  least  67  grantees  are  found  in  the  records,  and  their  lots  amounted  to  about  800 
acres.  The  lots  were  all  numbered,  but  the  records  do  not  show  that  there  was  any 
regular  order  or  series  in  the  arrangement  of  them. 

§  101.  On  the  same  day  (July  17,  1638),  that  the  Lieu  of  Township  land  was 
granted,  it  was  "Ordered,  that  all  the  land  lying  beyond  the  Plowland  and  the  lots 
granted  in  lieu  of  the  township,  having  the  Great  Dividends  on  the  one  [North] 
side,  Charles  River  and  Dedham  bounds  on  the  other  [south]  side,  and  the  Farm 
lands  at  the  farther  end  [west  side]  of  it,  shall  be  for  a  common  for  cattle,  to  the 
use  of  the  freemen  of  the  town  and  their  heirs  forever,  and  not  to  be  alienated 
without  the  consent  of  every  freeman  and  their  heirs  forever."  This  was  called  the 
Freemen's  Common.  Notwithstanding  this  attempt  at  absolute  perpetuity,  on  the 
27th  Nov.,  1639,  the  freemen  granted  this  tract  conditionally  to  the  Farms.  [See 
Section- 81.] 

§102.  1th.  The  Farms,  or  Farm  Lands.  The  first  notice  in  the  records  of  the  Farm 
lands  is  in  the  preceding  order,  concerning  the  Freemen's  Common.  Three  mouths 
afterwards  (Oct.  14,  1638),  it  was  "  Ordered,  that  the  Farms  granted  shall  begin  at 
the  nearest  meadow  to  Dedham  Line,  beyond  the  line  that  runneth  at  the  end  of  the 
Great  Dividends,  parallel  to  the  line  at  the  end  of  the  town  bounds  [Sudbury  Line], 
and  so  to  go  on  successively  from  Dedham  bounds,  in  order  as  they  are  given  out,  as 
they  which  are  deputed  to  lay  them  out  shall  see  good,  and  appoint  the  proportion 
of  meadow,  being  twenty  acres  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres  of  upland."  At  the 
same  time  it  was  "Ordered,  that  Daniel  Patrick,  Abraham  Browne,  John  Stowers, 
Edmund  Lewis,  and  Simon  Eire,  or  the  major  part  of  them,  shall  lay  out  the  Farms 
as  they  are  ordered."  The  next  year  (Nov.  27,  1639),  it  was  "Ordered,  that  if  the 
Land  in  view  for  Farms  shall  not  suffice  to  accommodate  the  rest  of  the  townsmen 
that  are  behind,  that  then  they  shall  have  their  farms  out  of  the  Freemen's  Com- 
mon, upon  the  same  condition  that  the  rest  have  theirs." 

§  103.  In  the  Files  of  the  County  Court,  is  the  following  document.  The  sum- 
maries in  brackets,  here  inserted,  are  not  in  the  original ;  and  a  name  in  brackets, 
following  that  of  a  grantee,  shows  who  had  become  proprietor  of  the  lot  previous  to 
1644.  This  order  for  allotting  the  Farms  by  10  in  a  division,  and  with  the  lots  so 
numbered,  is  by  no  means  lucid,  and  is,  indeed,  enigmatical.  "  1642,  3  m.  10  d.  Or- 
dered [by  the  town],  that  all  the  townsmen  that  had  not  farms  laid  out  formerly, 
shall  take  them  by  10  in  a  division,  and  to  cast  lots  for  the  several  divisions,  allow- 
ing 13  Acres  of  upland  to  every  head  of  persons  or  estates."

HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1029 

"  This  is  a  true  copy,  taken  out  of  a  transcript  of  the  Town  Book  of  Watertown, 
this  7  (2),  1668,  (signed),  John  Sherman.  Confessed  in  Court,  by  Mr.  John  Sherman, 
6  (2),  1669,  Thomas  Danforth." 

§  101.  By  examining  this  schedule,  it  will  be  found  that  there  are  the  names  of 
92  grantees,  while  the  highest  number  of  a  lot  is  101,  and  that  there  are  12  or  13 
numbers  blank,  or  without  a  grantee's  name.  In  one  or  two  instances,  the  same 
number  is  attached  fco  the  lots  of  two  grantees,  probably,  oversights  in  making  the 
schedule,  or  in  the  copy  of  it.  In  the  introduction  to  the  schedule,  mention  is  made 
of  "  farms  laid  out  formerly,"  that  is,  previous  to  May,  1612.  A  range  of  lots,  on 
the  south  side  of  the  highway  [?  Sudbury  Road],  was  laid  out  to  the  following  per- 
sons, whose  names  are  not  in  the  preceding  schedule.  The  1st  lot  in  the  range, 
adjoining  Sudbury  Line,  was  that  of  Bryan  Pendleton,  by  him  sold  to  Peter  Noyes, 
and  very  early  purchased  by  George  Munning.  The  next,  adjoining  it  on  the  east, 
was  that  of  Daniel  Patrick ;  next,  Simon  Eire,  200  A. ;  next,  John  Stowers,  130  A. ; 
next,  Abraham  Browne,  130  A.;  next,  John  Whitney,  120  A. ;  next,  Edward  Flow, 
200  A.;  next,  Jeremiah  Norcross,  250  A.;  next,  Thomas  Mayhew,  250  A.  To 
these  may  be  added  the  following  names,  not  found  in  the  preceding  schedule,  viz. ; 
Sir  Richard,  300  A.,  granted  to  him  by  the  General  Court,  which  farm  passed  to 
his  son  Henry;  Edmund  Lewis,  100  A.  ;  Edward  Garfield,  100  A.  It  will  be  per- 
ceived that  the  committee  of  Oct.,  1638,  to  lay  out  the  farm  lands,  was  composed 
of  persons  here  named,  and  not  contained  in  the  schedule,  and,  that  during  three 
years  and  a  half  after  their  appointment,  they  seem  to  have  laid  out  few  besides 
their  own  farms. 

§  105.  It  may  be  seen,  in  the  order  for  the  laying  out  the  Great  Dividends,  that 
all  the  meadows  within  them  were  excepted.  Among  these  were  Patch  Meadow, 
whose  location  has  not  been  clearly  ascertained  ;  Pond  Meadow,  in  the  N".  E.  part 
of  Waltham;  Rock  Meadow,  on  the  borders  of  the  upper  part  of  Beaver  Brook,  and 
situated  partly  in  Watertown  [Waltham],  and  partly  in  Cambridge  [W.  Camb.  and 
Lex.];  West  Meadow,  on  the  northern  border  of  the  town,  adjoining  Cambridge 
[Lex.],  but  the  exact  location  not  ascertained.  Numerous  proprietors  of  lots  in  these 
meadows  are  found  in  the  schedules  of  possessions  and  inventories.  Besides  the 
Beaver  Brook  Plowlands,  a  considerable  number  of  meadow  lots  on  Beaver  Brook 
were  held  by  different  persons.  Perhaps,  these  were  identical  with  Rock  Meadow. 
Other  meadows  are  mentioned,  of  which  we  know  very  little.  Chester  Meadow,  was  on 
Chester  Brook,  the  outlet  of  Sherman's  Pond.  Edward  Garfield,  in  his  Will,  men- 
tions a  "  meadow  further  side  of  Chester  Brook,  called  Plane  Meadow,"  and  in  his 
Inventory,  it  is  called  Chester  Meadow.  Pequusset  Meadow  [See  Section  81]. 
Several  small  tracts  of  meadow,  not  designated  by  distinct  names,  were  situated  among 
the  Small  Lots.  Cherry  Meadow,  was  probably  on  Cherry  Brook,  a  W.  branch  of 
Stony  Brook.     Crooked  Meadow,  Long  Meadow,  Slendergut  Meadow,  &c. 

§  106.  For  much  additional  information  respecting  the  allotment  of  lands;  regu- 
lations for  fencing  and  feeding  in  common;  for  surrounding  the  plowlands  in  com- 
mon enclosures,  &c,  see  the  transcript  of  the  original  records,  as  printed,  pp.  995  &c. 

§  107.  There  was  much  dissatisfaction  among  the  Watertown  people,  with  the 
early  allotments  of  the  Remote  Meadows,  the  lands  in  lieu  of  township,  and  of  the 
farm  lands,  which  led  to  much  contention  and  repeated  surveys.  Jan.  10,  1617-8, 
Mr.  Bisco,  Lieut.  Mason,  and  Isaac  Stearns,  were  appointed  a  committee  "  to  deter- 
mine the  wrong  in  laying  out  the  Remote  Meadows;"  and  at  the  same  time  a  com- 
mittee of  7  (Lieut.  Mason,  John  Coolidge,  Dea.  Hastings,  Mr.  Bisco,  John  Sher- 
man, John  Warren,  and  Mr.  Pendleton),  was  appointed  to  consider  the  disputes 
"  about  lands  in  lieu  of  township."  The  dissatisfaction  and  contention  continued 
many  years,  at  least  until  1663,  and  it  was  probably  this  state  of  affairs,  that  ac- 
quired for  a  considerable  tract  of  land,  in  the  S.  W.  part  of  Watertown,  the  name 
of  "  the  land  of  contention,"  terms  frequently  occurring   in   deeds.     About  1663, 


1030  APPENDIX    I. 

this  part  of  Watertown  was  again  surveyed  and  plotted  out  by  Capt.  John  Sherman, 
in  order  to  be  allotted  to  those  to  whom  it  was  granted.  It  contained  1102  acres, 
including  that  covered  by  water,  and  was  bounded  on  the  south  by  Dedham  ;  west 
by  Natick  and  Sudbury,  otherwise  by  Watertown  farm-land.  There  is  in  the  county 
records  a  delineation  of  the  outline  of  this  tract,  as  surveyed,  but  not  a  plot  of  the 
farms  within  it. 


SOIL,  FORMATION  OF  THE  LAND. 

§  108.  For  an  account  of  the  soil,  and  of  the  formation  of  the  laud,  within  the  three 
precincts  of  Watertown,  we  must  rely  chiefly  upon  the  descriptions  of  them  by 
those  who  resided  there,  and  were  very  competent  observers. 

§  109.  Rev.  Dr.  Francis,  in  his  History  of  Watertown,  says  :  "  The  soil  of  Water- 
town  is  in  general  remarkably  good.  A  portion  of  the  southeastern  extremity  of 
the  town  is  sandy,  poor,  and  barren ;  but  with  this  exception,  the  land  is  among  the 
best  and  most  productive  in  the  Commonwealth.  The  soil  consists  for  the  most 
part,  of  black  loam,  having  a  substratum  of  hard  earth,  so  that  it  suffers  little  com- 
paratively from  drought  in  the  summer.  There  is  [in  1830],  very  little  woodland 
in  the  town,  nearly  all  the  land  having  been  cleared  and  cultivated."  We  may 
infer,  from  the  early  records,  printed  in  the  preceding  pages,  and  from  the  subse- 
quent records,  that  it  was  not  well  wooded  at  the  first  settlement,  as  strict  orders 
were  passed  very  early  to  prevent  the  destruction  of  trees;  as  trees,  single  or  in 
small  numbers,  were  sometimes  granted  or  accepted  as  a  compensation  for  debt  or 
service,  and  individuals  were  sometimes  permitted  by  a  town  order,  to  take  dead 
trees  on  the  common  land.  Townships  are  rarely  found,  especially  in  New  Eng- 
land, where  so  very  large  a  proportion  of  the  land  is  well  adapted  to  tillage,  and 
where  there  is  so  very  little  broken  or  waste  land,  as  in  Watertown. 

§  110.  There  are  few  hills  of  any  considerable  elevation,  and  only  two  or  three 
appear  to  be  named  in  the  early  records.  The  first  is  Strawberry  Hill,  repeatedly 
mentioned  in  the  early  schedules  of  possessions.  There  has  been  much  perplexity 
and  uncertainty,  as  to  its  locality;  whether  it  was  identical  with  Schoolhouse  Hill, 
or  was  situated  farther  north,  near  the  Cambridge  Line,  or  a  little  west  of  Fresh 
Pond.  It  is  stated,  on  page  47,  on  what  then  seemed  to  be  sufficient  grounds,  that 
the  50  Acre  homestall  of  Capt.  Jennison,  was  situated  on  the  northern  side  of  Bel- 
mont Street,  where  J.  P.  Cushing,  Esq.,  now  resides.  This  homestall  was  bounded 
on  the  north  by  the  lot  of  Thomas  Philpot,  which  lot  was  bounded  on  the  north 
by  Strawberry  Hill.  In  1697,  Mary,  wid.  of  William  Price,  sold  to  Samuel  Liver- 
more  her  house  aud  12  acre  lot,  which  was  bounded  N.  E.  by  Cambridge  Line,  and 
west  by  Philpot's  lot.  Any  evidence,  that  Philpot  had  more  than  one  lot  of  land, 
had  been  sought  in  vain.  We  now  suppose  that,  after  the  schedule  of  possessions 
was  completed,  in  1644,  and  before  Philpot  became  insane,  about  1616  or  7,  he  had 
purchased  a  second  lot  near  Cambridge  Line,  upon  which  he  built  a  house,  and  which 
the  town  held  and  rented  to  various  persons,  for  more  than  70  years ;  that  the  lot 
between  Jennison's  homestall  on  the  south,  and  Strawberry  Hill  on  the  north,  was 
the  one  sold,  in  1651,  to  John  Clary,  by  order  of  the  Court,  to  defray  the  expense 
of  Philpot's  imprisonment,  and  which  Clary,  in  16S8,  sold  to  William  Bond,  Esq., 
then  proprietor  of  the  Jennison  homestall.  This  supposition  is  favored  by  the  cir- 
cumstance that,  in  the  schedule  of  possessions,  the  Philpot  lot  at  Strawberry  Hill 
contained,,  by  estimation,  10  acres,  while  the  lot,  so  long  rented  by  the  town,  con- 
tained between  3  and  4  acres.  It  now  seems  to  be  clearly  ascertained,  that  Capt. 
Jennison's  homestall,  of  50  A.,  was  on  the  north  side  of  Mount  Auburn  Street  [at 
first  called  Mill  Street],  between  Common  and  School  Streets,  and  that  Strawberry 
Hill  was  identical  with  School-house  Hill,  afterwards  called  Meeting-house  Hill.     In 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1031 

the  Mid.  Registry  of  Deeds,  p.  883,  is  a  deed,  dated  May  25,  1694,  by  Thomas  Un- 
derwood and  wife  Mary,  conveying  to  Nathaniel  Fisk  "  land  on  the  south  side  of 
Strawberry  Hill  (or  the  School-house  Hill),"  bounded  east  "  by  highway  over  the 
hill  by  the  school-house."  This  seems  to  prove  the  identity  of  Strawberry  and 
School-house  Hills.     It  is  the  highest  point  of  land  in  the  town. 

§  111.  Whitney's  Hill,  is  supposed  to  be  the  same  which  has  of  late  been  called 
White's  Hill.  The  homestall  of  John  Whitney,  of  16  A.,  bought  of  John  Stick- 
ling, was  situated  east  of  it  [see  Whitney,  1  and  60].  Oct.  29,  1697,  Joshua 
Whitney,  then  of  Groton,  sold  this  16  A.  homestall  to  Corp.  [afterwards  Dea.] 
Nathan  Fiske,  and  it  was  then  bounded  on  the  N.  by  Joseph  Sherman,  and  Henry 
Spring;  E.  by  Thomas  Bond;  S.  by  Lieut.  Jonas  Bond;  W.  by  N.  Fiske.  At  an 
early  date,  John  Whitney,  Sen.,  and  his  sons,  had  become  proprietors  on  the  north 
and  west  sides  of  this  hill.  In  1614,  the  homestall  of  John  Whitney,  Jr.,  was  on 
or  near  the  spot  where  Mr.  Charles  Whitney  now  or  lately  resided,  and  he  owned 
the  lot  in  the  Town  Plot  at  the  S.  W.  corner  of  Belmont  and  Lexington  Streets. 
The  meeting-house,  built  about  1695,  where  Mr.  Angier  was  settled,  was  at  the  S.  E. 
angle  of  the  Belmont  and  Lexington  Street  cross-roads,  and  it  was  ordered  to  be 
built  between  wid.  (Hannah)  Stearns  and  Whitney's  Hill,  and  was  sometimes  de- 
scribed as  between  the  Pound  and  Whitney's  Hill.  The  Pound  was  then  at  those 
cross-roads,  where  it  was  constructed  about  1687.  Elbow  Hill  is  sometimes  men- 
tioned in  the  description  of  roads,  and  was  probably  nothing  more  than  a  declivity 
in  Lexington  Street,  at  first  called  the  Concord  Road.  The  highest  point  in  Mount 
Auburn  Cemetery  is  less  than  100  feet  above  tide  water,  and  before  its  present 
appropriation,  this  tract,  or  a  part  of  it,  was  called  Stone's  Woods.  It  does  not 
seem  to  have  been  deemed  of  sufficient  height  or  importance  to  be  designated  or 
referred  to  in  any  of  the  records. 

§  112.  A  writer  in  the  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  2d  Ser.  III.,  in  describing  Waltham 
[the  middle  precinct  of  Watertown],  says :  "  The  land  in  the  south  part  of  the 
town,  which  runs  parallel  with  Charles  River,  the  distance  of  two  miles,  and  half 
a  mile  in  breadth  [i.  e.  the  Hither  and  Further  Plains],  is  very  level,  and  is  mostly 
of  a  light,  sandy  soil,  not  very  deep.  Adjoining  the  river  it  is  fertile.  The  inte- 
rior of  the  town  is  of  a  hard,  loamy  soil,  upon  a  gravelly  bottom,  and  tolerably  fer- 
tile ;  in  general  the  land  is  uneven,  and  in  some  parts  rocky.  Almost  every  farm  is 
or  may  be  fenced  with  stone-wall,  from  its  own  grounds;  and  probably  few  towns  in 
the  country  exhibit  more  excellent  walls.  *  *  *  *  In  the  north  and  westerly  parts 
of  the  town,  the  land  is  much  broken,  and  somewhat  hilly,  but  productive."  There 
are  a  few  high  points  of  land  in  Waltham,  considerably  higher  than  any  in  Water- 
town.  The  highest  and  most  conspicuous  is  Prospect  Hill,  about  half  a  mile  west 
of  Waltham  Plain.  It  rises  with  a  regular  rounded  surface,  like  the  back  of  a 
porpoise,  to  the  height  of  482  feet  above  tide-water.  A  large  pine  tree  formerly 
stood  on  its  summit,  and  it  was  one  of  the  first  points  seen  by  mariners  on  approach- 
ing Boston  harbor.  It  commauds  a  very  wide,  diversified,  and  beautiful  prospect. 
In  an  ancient  record  it  is  called  Knapp's  Garden.  Bear  Hill,  west  of  Prospect  Hill, 
and  bordering  on  Weston,  has  about  the  same  height.  Mackerel  Hill,  near  the 
N.  E.  corner  of  the  town,  is  less  elevated,  but  commands  a  beautiful  prospect,  includ- 
ing Boston  harbor.  It  has  borne  this  name  from  a  very  early  date.  The  first  hill 
within  the  ancient  limits  of  Watertown,  that  is  noticed  in  the  early  records,  is  Mount 
Feake,  named  for  Mr.  Robert  Feake,  of  Watertown.  It  was  discovered  and  named 
by  Governor  Winthrop  and  his  exploring  party,  in  January,  1631-2.  It  is  too  in- 
significant in  magnitude  to  be  entitled  a  mount,  or  even  to  be  thus  noticed  as  a  hill; 
and  the  party  must  have  been  in  a  jocose  mood,  when  they  gave  it  its  designation 
and  importance.  Much  of  it  has  been  removed  or  destroyed  of  late  in  the  grading 
of  a  railroad.  There  has  been,  heretofore,  some  uncertainty  about  its  locality.  [See 
Dr.  Kendal's  Centennial  Sermon,  p.  28.]  This  uncertainty  seems  to  be  dispelled. 
It  was  near  the  east  border  of  the  Oldham  Farm,  a  littre  distance  S.  W.  of  the  western 


1032  APPENDIX    I. 

end  of  the  Further  [Waltham]  Plain.  According  to  the  terras  of  the  Grant  of  the 
Oldham  Farm,  in  Ap.  1634,  it  lay  "  near  Mount  Feake,  on  the  northwest  of  Charles 
River."  Mr.  Richard  Browne  had  a  grant  of  12  acres  of  meadow  "at  Mount  Feake, 
at  the  turn  of  the  river,"  which  was  bounded  W.  by  the  Oldham  Farm,  and  E.  by 
the  river. 

§  113.  In  the  appendix  to  the  Centennial  Sermon  of  Rev.  Dr.  Samuel  Kendal,  of 
Weston  [the  farmers'  precinct],  he  says  :  "  The  town  is  in  general  uneven,  and  in 
some  parts,  a  broken  tract  of  land.  High  cliffs  or  ledges  of  rocks  are  found  within 
its  limits.  *  *  *  A  considerable  proportion  of  the  town  is  elevated  above  the  com- 
mon level  of  the  adjacent  country,  and  gives  an  extensive  view  of  other  parts.  A 
hill  of  excellent  land  on  the  southwesterly  part  of  the  town  presents  a  very  exten- 
sive, and,  in  the  month  of  May,  a  very  romantic  prospect.  The  soil  in  the  elevated 
and  rocky  parts  of  the  town  is,  in  general,  a  deep-red  strong  loam,  very  favorable  to 
the  growth  of  fruit  trees.  There  are  several  tracts  of  plain  land ;  but  these  are  of 
no  considerable  extent.  The  hills  are  mostly  springy,  and  very  little  subject  either 
to  frost  or  drought.  A  number  of  brooks  and  rivulets  accommodate  the  inhabitants, 
and  pay  their  tribute  to  the  bordering  streams.  The  greatest  part  of  these  brooks 
rise  within  the  town,  and  are  fed  by  springs.  There  are  few  or  no  stagnant  waters, 
but  several  tracts  of  meadow,  that  abound  with  excellent  peat."  No  hills  are 
named  in  Weston,  in  the  early  records. 


ROADS. 

§  114.  The  attempt  to  identify  the  primitive  or  very  early  roads,  residences,  and 
other  localities,  is  attended  with  much  difficulty  and  perplexity,  for  reasons  already 
stated.  [See  Sect.  84.]  Most  of  the  present  roads  in  the  town  are  undoubtedly  of 
very  early  date,  with  slight  changes  or  variations  in  some  instances,  but  not  such  as 
to  affect  their  identity.  It  is  probable,  however,  that  some  highways,  cartways, 
and  lanes,  then  made  use  of  to  reach  the  very  numerous  small  lots  into  which  the 
town  was  at  first  divided,  were  long  since  vacated,  or  so  changed  that  they  cannot 
now  be  clearly  identified  with  the  originals.  A  few  of  the  roads  received  names  very 
early,  and  others  are  so  described  that  they  can  be  clearly  identified. 

§  115.  The  earliest  reference  to  roads  in  the  town  records,  is  in  1635,  probably 
Sept.  14,  when  it  was  "agreed,  that  John  Warren  and  Abraham  Browne  shall  lay 
out  all  the  highways,  and  to  see  that  they  be  sufficiently  repaired."  In  1636  (pro- 
bably in  Nov.),  it  was  "  Ordered,  that  there  shall  be  an  highway  left  sufficient  at  the 
hither  end  all  the  great  dividends  or  lots."  In  1637,  it  was  "  Ordered,  that  there  shall 
be  eight  days  appointed  for  every  year  for  the  repairing  the  highways;  and  every 
man  that  is  a  soldier  or  watchman  to  come  at  his  appointed  time,  with  a  wheelbarrow, 
mattock,  spade,  or  shovel,  and  for  default  hereof,  to  pay  for  every  day  5s.  to  the 
town,  and  a  cart  for  every  day  to  pay  19s."  Dec.  30,  1637,  it  was  "Ordered,  that 
there  shall  be  a  highway  between  Ephraim  Child  and  Thomas  Rogers'  ground,  lying 
in  Dorchester  Field,  leading  to  the  Flats."  This  was  probably  what  was  sometimes 
called  Crooked  Lane,  running  between  E.  Child  and  John  Sherman,  who  bought 
Rogers'  lot  after  his  decease. 

§  116.  The  two  most  important  roads,  at  least  the  most  so  at  first,  were  Mill 
Street  and  Sudbury  Road,  the  one  terminating  and  the  other  beginning  at  the  Mill, 
near  to  the  wear.  Mill  Street  began  below  Mount  Auburn,  where  Sir  Richard  Sal- 
tonstall  began  his  plantation,  and  selected  his  homestall  lot,  and  passing  by  the 
ancient  graveyard,  it  extended  to  the  Mill,  at  the  first  or  lowest  falls  on  Charles 
River.  It  did  not  long  retain  this  name,  but  acquired  that  of  the  Cambridge  Road, 
or  the  Road  to  the  College,  and  sometimes  the  County  Road.  It  has  recently  been 
named  Mount  Auburn  Street. 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1033 

§  117.  The  road  extending  westward  from  the  Mil],  was  at  first  sometimes  called 
the  Country  Road,  but  it  has  been  much  more  commonly  known  as  the  Sudbury  Road, 
since  the  planting  of  that  town.  It  was  the  County  Road,  and  it  is  often  designated 
as  such  in  deeds,  inventories,  &c.  It  is  now  Main  Street,  and  it  retains  this  name 
through  Waltham  to  Weston.  It  is  said  that,  for  a  long  time,  there  was  more  travel 
on  it,  than  on  any  other  road  in  the  colonies.  It  was  the  great  thoroughfare  from 
Boston  and  its  vicinity,  passing  over  Boston  Neck,  through  Roxbury,  Brookline, 
New  Cambridge  (Newton),  and  over  Mill  Bridge;  thence  westward  through  Water- 
town,  including  Waltham  and  Weston ;  to  the  western  part  of  the  Colony,  to  Con- 
necticut, New  York,  and  the  Southern  Colonies.  Some  of  this  travel  was  diverted 
by  the  building  of  Cambridge  Bridge ;  and  still  more  by  the  Worcester  turnpike. 
The  recent  construction  of  railroads  has  diverted  so  much  of  what  was  retained,  that 
as  a  thoroughfare  it  is  now  comparatively  deserted.  It  has  not  been  ascertained 
that  the  direct  road  from  Cambridge  to  Waltham,  which  is  very  ancient,  had  any 
distinct  name  in  very  early  times,  when  the  first  schedules  of  possessions  were 
made.  In  later  times  it  has  been  commonly  designated  as  the  Back  Road,  and 
recently  it  has  been  named  Belmont  Street.  The  road  now  called  Lexington  Street, 
beginning  at  Belmont  Street,  and  extending  northward  by  Elbow  Hill,  was  anciently 
called  the  Concord  Koad.  In  Dec.  1638,  it  was  "  Ordered  that  the  highway  leading 
to  Concord,  shall  be  6  rods  broad."  Whether  that  part  of  Lexington  Street,  extend- 
ing southward  from  Belmont  to  Main  Street,  had  any  distinct  designation  in  early 
times,  has  not  been  ascertained,  but  the  whole  of  it  is  of  a  very  early  date.  What 
is  now  called  Howard  Street,  was  at  first  called  the  Way  to  the  Little  Plain,  and  in 
later  times,  the  Boad  to  Dirty  Green.  That  part  of  the  present  Pleasant  Street,  ex- 
tending westward  from  Howard  Street,  was  at  first  only  a  cartway,  laid  out  for  the 
accommodation  of  the  Beaver  Brook  Plowlands  in  the  Hither  Plain ;  and  in  the 
early  schedules  of  possessions,  it  was  commonly  called  the  Way  betwixt  Lots.  [See 
Sect.  93.]  That  part  of  Pleasant  Street,  extending  eastward  from  Howard  Street 
to  the  Mill,  was  called  the  Way  to  [along]  the  River.  That  part  of  Common  Street, 
extending  northward  from  Belmont  Street,  was  called  Stone  Street,  and  it  had  that 
name,  where  it  turned  southeastwardly,  until  it  reached  Hill  Street.  That  portion 
of  Grove  Street,  extending  northward  from  Mount  Auburn  Street,  is  the  one  referred 
to  in  the  following  order,  passed,  May  10,  1642  :  "  Ordered,  that  an  highway  being 
laid  out  from  Justinian  Holden's  lot,  to  George  Parkhurst's  house,  six  rods  wide, 
and  from  thence  to  Richard  Beers'  lot,  2  rods  wide,  shall  be  for  the  use  of  the  town 
forever."  In  the  schedules  of  possessions  it  is  called  a  Drift  Way,  and  it  extended 
only  to  R.  Beers'  lot.  Washington  Street,  was  at  first  called  the  Way  to  the  Pond, 
and  is  frequently  so  mentioned  in  the  early  schedules.  It  extended  directly  to  the 
Pond,  and  did  not  then  turn  towards  Cambridge,  as  in  the  recent  maps.  There  was 
another  road,  called  Pond  Road,  north  of  Cambridge  Street,  running  from  Camb. 
Village,  or  meeting-house,  towards  Fresh  Pond. 

§  118.  The  roads  between  Mount  Auburn  ["  Mill"]  Street,  on  the  north,  and  the 
river  on  the  south,  at  the  west  of  Mount  Auburn,  differed  very  much  from  those 
delineated  on  recent  maps.  Ancient  roads  have  been  vacated  and  others  laid  out, 
and  this  greatly  increases  the  difficulty  of  ascertaining  the  location  of  the  grants 
and  early  possessions  in  that  part  of  the  town.  Bank  Lane  is  often  mentioned  by 
name,  or  referred  to,  in  the  early  description  of  lots.  It  began  near  the  Mill  Bridge, 
extended  eastwardly  through  Dorchester  Field,  passing  along  at  a  little  distance 
from  the  river,  and  on  the  south  side  of  Mount  Auburn.  It  then  turned  north- 
wardly, and  was  probably  the  same,  which  was  then  sometimes  called  Water  Street. 
From  the  notices  of  it,  as  a  boundary  of  lots,  it  may  be  inferred  that  its  course  was 
not  direct,  and  that  there  is  now  no  road  corresponding  with  it,  except  perhaps  the 
S.  E.  portion  of  what  is  now  called  Grove  Street.  That  part  of  Common  Street,  or 
a  road  nearly  coinciding  with  it,  running  southwardly  from  Belmont  Street,  over 
Strawberry  Hill,  was  sometimes  called  Bowman's  Lane.    The  homestead  of  Nathaniel 


1034  APPENDIX    I. 

Bowman  was  on  the  west  side  of  it,  at  a  little  distance  south  of  Belmont  Street. 
The  present  School  Street,  extending  northward  from  Belmont  Street,  in  the  early 
schedules  of  grants  and  possessions,  was  called  Hill  Street,  and  it  is  often  mentioned 
by  that  name. 

§  119.  On  the  24th  March,  1640-1,  at  a  town  meeting,  it  was  "Ordered,  that 
there  shall  be  a  cartway  through  William  Hammond's  lot  and  Edmund  James's 
meadow,  and  so  through  the  lots  -of  John  Warren  and  Isaac  Sterne,  to  fetch  hay 
from  Rock  Meadow  and  the  Remote  Meadows."  It  is  supposed  that  this  cartway, 
beginning  at  Stone  (Common)  Street,  answered  to  what  is  now  called  North  Street, 
but  that  it  began  farther  north  than  at  present.  In  1658,  the  selectmen  ordered 
"Capt.  Mason  and  Dea.  Bright  to  lay  out  the  highway  through  Corporal  Ham- 
mond's land,  from  Mr.  Eire's  house  to  John  Biscoe's  land."  Whether  this  order 
refers  to  a  road  corresponding  in  part  with  the  present  North  Street,  or  to  the  northern 
part  of  Stone  Street,  is  not  clearly  ascertained.  As  before  stated,  that  part  of  the 
present  North  Street,  east  of  Common  Street,  was  then  a  part  of  Stone  Street.  North 
Street,  extending  westward,  on  the  south  side  of  Mackerel  Hill,  passed  along  near, 
and  nearly  parallel  to,  the  northern  border  of  Waltham,  and  it  was  known  formerly 
as  Trapelo  Road.  Febr.  7,  1658—9,  "Ordered,  a  highway  in  the  way  that  goes  to 
Chester  Brook,"  which  was  the  west  branch  of  Beaver  Brook.  Busby's  Lane  is 
often  mentioned  in  the  early-description  of  lots.  It  began  at  Cambridge  Street,  east 
of  Mount  Auburn,  and  extended  to  the  small  homestall  of  2  A.  of  Mr.  Busby,  origin- 
ally granted  to  John  Livermore,  and  situated  on  the  East  Bay  of  Fresh  Pond.  It 
is  probable  that  the  southern  portions  of  School  Street  and  of  Common  Street  do  not 
correspond  exactly  with  the  ancient  streets  running  in  the  same  direction. 


PONDS  AND  WATER-COURSES. 

§  120.  The  earliest  writers  who  notice  Watertown,  mention  it  as  being  well 
watered,  and  it  has  been  supposed,  with  good  reason,  as  already  stated  [Sect.  23], 
that  it  derived  its  name  from  this  circumstance,  as,  in  this  respect,  no  other  very 
early  town  could  be  compared  with  it.  Besides  the  numerous  springs  noticed  by 
early  writers,  but  whose,  number  and  position  cannot  now  be  determined,  the  ponds 
and  water-courses  are  numerous. 

§  121.  When  Watertown  was  first  planted  and  named,  Fresh  Pond,  the  largest  in 
the  town,  was  entirely  within  its  limits.  After  the  planting  of  New  Town  (Cam- 
bridge), the  northeastern  and  smaller  portion  of  the  pond  was  within  the  bounds  of 
the  latter.  Since  1754,  when  the  eastern  part  of  Watertown  was  taken  off  and  an- 
nexed to  Cambridge,  less  than  one-half  of  the  pond  has  belonged  to  Watertown. 
This  pond  is  renowned  for  the  purity  of  its  water,  and  for  its  ice,  which  is  shipped 
in  large  quantities  to  all  parts  of  the  world.  There  are  several  much  smaller  ponds 
in  the  eastern  part  of  the  town  to  be  seen  on  the  map,  but  too  small  to  have  received 
any  permanent  designation.  Two  or  three  of  them  are  enclosed  in  Mount  Auburn 
Cemetery,  one  of  which  is  called  Forest  Pond,  probably  the  ancient  Shallow  Pond. 
Two  others  are  a  little  further  west,  and  another  at  the  southwest. 

§  122.  Farther  west,  within  the  bounds  of  Waltham,  is  another  pond,  about  three- 
fourths  of  a  mile  long  and  half  as  wide,  generally  known  as  Sherman's  Pond,  some- 
times, more  recently,  as  Fiske's  Pond,  and  Mead's  Pond.  Its  area  is  supposed  to  be 
about  100  A.  In  the  early  records  it  is  sometimes  mentioned  as  the  Great  Pond, 
before  it  appears  to  have  obtained  either  of  the  other  names.  It  is  within  the 
northern  or  high  grounds  of  Waltham,  and  is  the  source  of  the  ancient  Chester 
Brook,  or  West  Branch  of  Beaver  Brook. 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1035 

§  123.  About  half  a  mile  west  of  the  site  of  the  old  Waltham  Meeting-house  is 
a  pond  and  an  extensive  bog,  called  Beaver  Meadow,  through  which  the  ancient 
Chester  Brook  passes.  There  is  good  reason  to  believe  that  this  bog  was  formerly 
covered  with  water,  and  was  the  pond  to  which  Winthrop  refers,  where  "the  beavers 
had  shorn  down  divers  great  trees,  .  .  .  and  made  divers  dams  across  the  brook," 
thereby  making  a  large  pond,  and  leaving  a  bog  after  the  dams  were  destroyed.  At 
a  little  distance  south  of  this  is  a  small  sheet  of  water  of  about  four  acres,  now  called 
Lily  Pond,  having  its  outlet  through  Beaver  Meadow  into  Chester  Brook. 

§  124.  In  the  western  part  of  the  town,  as  originally  granted,  were  included  a 
part,  if  not  the  whole,  of  Walden's  Pond  (now  in  Concord) ;  a  part  of  Sandy  Pond, 
and  the  whole  of  Beaver  Pond,  both  now  in  Lincoln,  and  a  part  of  Nonesuch  Pond, 
the  larger  portion  of  which  is  within  the  bounds  of  Natick. 

§  125.  The  town  was  watered  on  much  the  largest  part  of  its  southern  border  by 
the  beautiful  Charles  River,  originally  called  the  Massachusetts  River.  Its  average 
width  is  eight  rods ;  tide-water  extends  about  three  miles  above  the  eastern  border 
of  the  town,  and  it  is  so  far  navigable  for  small  vessels.  At  the  head  of  tide-water 
was  a  fall,  which  furnished  water-power  for  the  first  mill  built  in  the  town,  and  one 
of  the  earliest  in  the  colony.  [See  Mills  and  Fisheries.]  Above  this  are  other  falls, 
furnishing  water-power  for  the  Bemis  Mills,  and  for  the  Upper  and  Lower  Waltham 
Factories.  These  water-powers  were  not,  however,  made  use  of  until  a  comparatively 
late  date. 

§  126.  Besides  several  streams,  too  small  to  have  obtained  permanent  names,  there 
were  a  few  brooks,  branches  of  Charles  River,  sufficiently  large  to  furnish  water- 
power  for  mills.  Smelt  Brook,  having  its  source  in  Newton,  passes  through  and 
enters  Charles  River  within  that  small  portion  of  Watertown  which  lies  on  the  south 
side  of  the  river.     Mills  have  been  built  on  it  in  Watertown  and  in  Newton. 

§  127.  The  first  considerable  tributary  to  Charles  River,  on  the  north  side,  within 
the  ancient  boundary  of  Watertown,  was  Beaver  Brook.  Winthrop  says,  Jan.  27, 
1631-2,  "The  Governor,  and  some  company  with  him,  went  up  Charles  River  about 
eight  miles  above  Watertown,  and  named  the  first  brook  on  the  north  side  of  the 
river  (being  a  fair  stream,  and  coming  out  of  a  pond  a  mile  from  the  river)  Beaver 
Brook,  because  the  beavers  had  shorn  down  divers  great  trees  there,  and  made  divers 
dams  across  the  brook."  This  brook,  which  enters  Charles  River  at  the  lower  end 
of  Waltham  Plain,  is  made  up  of  two  main  branches,  which  unite  about  250  yards 
from  the  river.  The  west  branch  originates  in  Sherman's  Pond,  and  after  a  course 
of  about  two  miles,  passing  through  Beaver  Pond,  and  through  what  was  long  known 
as  the  Livermore  Farm,  but  of  late  as  the  Lyman  Farm,  unites  with  the  east  branch. 
The  volume  of  water  is  sufficient  for  a  mill,  which  was  built  upon  it,  probably  by 
Dea.  Thomas  Livermore,  in  the  earl}'  part  of  the  last  century.  The  eastern  and 
larger  branch  begins  in  Lexington  (Cambridge  Farms),  and,  passing  through  the 
western  corner  of  West  Cambridge,  and  through  Rock  Meadow,  it  runs  most  of  its 
course  through  the  eastern  border  of  Waltham  until  it  joins  the  west  branch.  A 
fulling  mill  was  first  built  upon  it  in  1663,  and  afterwards  other  mills,  on  or  near 
the  present  site  of  Kendall's  Mills. 

§  128.  It  is  evident  that  Gov.  Winthrop  did  not  explore  that  locality,  as  he  does 
not  give  correctly  the  source  of  the  west  branch,  nor  refer  to  the  other  branch.  The 
author  of  the  "Topographical  and  Historical  Description  of  Waltham,"  adopting 
Winthrop's  statement,  appears  to  regard  the  west  as  the  main  branch,  as  the  true 
Beaver  Brook,  and  the  eastern  branch  as  a  tributary.  This  must  be  erroneous.  By 
consulting  ancient  deeds  and  surveys  of  roads,  it  will  be  found  that  the  eastern 
branch,  in  early  times,  always  bore  the  name  of  Beaver  Brook,  and  that  the  western 
branch,  coming  out  of  Sherman's  Pond,  was  the  ancient  Chester  Brook,  upon  which 
Chester  Meadow  was  situated,  probably  not  far  below  the  mill.  These  were  named 
for  Mr.  Leonard  Chester  [see  p.  735],  and  must  have  received  their  names  very  soon 
after  that  excursion  of  Gov.  Winthrop,  as  Mr.  Chester  arrived  in  1633,  and  left 


1036  APPENDIX    I. 

Watertown  in  1636.  Some  modern  improvers  have  given  the  name  Clematis  to  the 
middle  portion  of  the  ancient  Beaver  Brook. 

§  129.  About  350  rods  west  of  Beaver  Brook,  a  small  stream  enters  Charles  River, 
which  has  occasioned  some  perplexity,  owing  to  Winthrop's  account  of  it.  It  is 
too  small  to  be  deserving  notice  except  for  this  circumstance.  From  its  relation  to 
Adam's  Chair  and  Mount  Feake,  as  given  by  Mr.  Wintbrop,  this  small  stream,  now 
almost  dried  up,  must  have  been  Masters'  Brook.  Yet  he  says  it  was  "greater  than 
the  former"  (Beaver  Brook).  It  is  evident,  frqm  its  chaunel  and  its  sources,  that  it 
could  never  have  had  such  a  magnitude,  which  is  applicable  only  to  Stony  Brook, 
which  is  a  mile  west  of  Mount  Feake.  The  latter  bore  its  present  name  at  least  as 
early  as  1640  or  '41,  and  has  always  retained  it;  while  the  small  stream,  near 
Mount  Feake,  has  been  known  as  Masters'  Brook  until  a  late  date.  We  are  com- 
pelled to  conclude,  either  that  Winthrop,  through  inadvertence,  wrote  greater  for 
smaller,  or  that,  upon  returning  from  his  excursion,  and  writing  in  his  journal,  his 
recollection  of  the  localities  had  become  confused. 

§  130.  The  largest  tributary  to  Charles  River,  within  the  ancient  bounds  of 
Watertown,  is  Stony  Brook.  It  originates  in  Sandy  Pond,  which  is  near  the  north- 
west border  of  Lincoln,  and  is  partly  within  the  original  bounds  granted  to  Water- 
town.  It  runs  a  S.  S.  E.  course,  passing  through  Beaver  Pond,  until  it  unites  with 
Charles  River,  about  two  .miles  above  Beaver  Brook.  Its  principal  branch  is  the 
ancient  Stower's  Brook,  for  which,  in  modern  times,  a  less  euphonous  name,  Hobb's 
Brook,  has  been  substituted.  It  originates  in  a  small  pond  near  the  eastern  border 
of  Lincoln,  originally  within  the  bounds  of  Cambridge  Farms  (Lexington),  and,  after 
a  course  of  about  four  miles  nearly  due  south,  it  unites  with  Stony  Brook,  about 
two  miles  from  its  junction  with  Charles  River.  This  is  supposed  to  be  the  same 
stream  which  was  sometimes  called  Four  Mile  Brook.  On  the  west  side  and  above 
the  junction  of  Stower's  Brook  is  another  smaller  branch  called  Cherry  Brook.  It 
is  large  enough  to  be  used  for  a  small  manufactory.  It  is  probable  that  Cherry 
Meadow,  sometimes  mentioned  in  ancient  records,  was  upon  this  stream.  Stony 
Brook  furnishes  valuable  water-power,  and  there  are  several  mills  upon  it.  [See 
Section  143.] 


THE  WEAR  AND  FISHERY. 

§  131.  The  fishery  in  Charles  River,  at  Watertown,  has  always  been  deemed  of 
considerable  importance,  but  much  more  so  in  early,  than  in  latter  times.  Johnson 
[Wond.  Work.  Prov.]  says  :  "  This  town  [Watertown],  abounds  with  several  sorts  of 
fish  at  their  seasons,  bass,  shad,  alewives,  frostfish,  and  smelts."  Wood  [New  Eng- 
land's Prospect,  1633]  says,  "  A  little  below  this  fall  of  waters,  the  inhabitants  of 
Watertown  have  built  a  wear  to  catch  fish,  wherein  they  take  great  store  of  shads 
and  alewives.  In  two  tides  they  have  gotten  one  hundred  thousand  fishes."  In  the 
spring  of  1632,  this  wear  was  constructed  by  the  permission  and  encouragement  of 
Gov.  Winthrop,  but  without  an  order,  which  could  be  granted  only  by  the  General 
Court.  He  gave  this  permission,  because,  if  they  had  waited  for  a  meeting  and  order 
of  the  Court,  the  season  for  fishing  would  have  passed,  before  the  wear  could  be  con- 
structed. At  the  next  meeting  of  the  Court,  May  9,  1632,  "  It  was  ordered,  that 
the  town  of  Watertown  shall  have  that  privilege  and  interest  in  the  wear  they  have 
built,  up  Charles  River,  according  as  the  Court  hereafter  shall  think  meet  to  confirm 
unto  them."  On  the  3d  of  Sept.,  1634,  the  Court  "  Ordered,  that  no  man  shall  fish 
with  a  net  nearer  the  wear  at  Watertown,  than  the  further  part  of  the  island  in  the 
river,  and  there  also,  never  to  cross  the  river  wholly  with  any  net,  except  it  be  at  high 
water  or  after."     Notwithstanding   the  reasonableness,  almost  the  necessity  of  the 


HISTOKY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1037 

action  of  the  Governor,  and  the  early  sanction  of  the  Court,  that  permission 
of  Governor  Winthrop  was,  not  long  afterwards,  one  of  the  points  of  accusa- 
tion brought  against  him  by  Dudley,  the  disaffected  and  unfriendly  deputy  Go- 
vernor. 

§  132.  It  is  not  known  who  took  the  lead  in  the  construction  of  the  wear,  but  it 
is  not  improbable  that  it  was  the  energetic  and  enterprising  Mr.  John  Oldham, 
whose  "  house  near  the  wear  at  Watertown,"  was  burned  down  in  August  of  that 
year  (1632).  [Winthrop,  I.,  p.  87.] 

At  a  town  meeting  (of  the  freemen),  in  Jan.,  1635-6,  it  was  "  agreed,  that  there 
shall  be  four  rods  in  breadth  on  each  side  of  the  river,  and  in  length  as  far  as  need 
shall  require,  laid  [out]  to  the  use  of  the  wear,  so  it  may  not  be  prejudicial  to  the 
Water  Mill.  Also,  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres  of  ground  to  the  wear  upon  the  other 
side  of  the  river,  to  be  laid  out  in  a  convenient  place." 

§  133.  The  orders  of  the  Court,  just  quoted,  imply  that  the  wear  was  built  by  or 
for  the  town,  and  was  public  property.  If  so,  it  not  long  afterwards  became  private 
property,  and  was  held  in  shares.  The  150  acres  granted  by  the  town,  passed  with 
the  wear  to  Mr.  Mayhew,  and  it  was  confirmed  to  him  by  an  order  of  the  Court, 
June  2,  1641,  when  it  was  "  agreed,  that  Mr.  Mayhew  shall  enjoy  the  150  acres  of 
land  on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River,  by  Watertown  wear." 

§  131.  On  May  29,  1639,  Thomas  Mayhew  mortgaged  to  Matthew  Cradock,  of 
London,  one-half  of  the  Mill  (which  he  had  purchased  of  Mr.  C-),  and  six  shares 
in  the  Wear  at  Watertown,  as  security  for  £240.  On  Feb.  27,  1639-40,  Mr.  May- 
hew conveyed  to  Gov.  Dudley,  for  £90,  the  rent  of  his  wear  for  the  last  four  years, 
which  is,  by  lease,  let  to  Robert  Lockwood,  Isaac  Sternes,  and  Henry  Jackson,  for 
six  years;  also,  the  rjver-side  and  inheritance  of  the  wear  forever,  subject  to  a 
certain  mortgage  [to  Mr.  Cradock].  On  the  6th  of  March,  1643-4,  for  £59.10.2, 
Dudley  sold  to  PMward  How  all  right  and  income  in  the  wears  in  Watertown,  ex- 
cept £22.15.6,  due  from  Isaac  Stearns  and  Robert  Lockwood.  Elder  Edward  How, 
by  his  Will  dated  June  3,  1644,  conveys  to  his  heirs  "  the  wears  with  all  their  pri- 
vileges thereto  belonging;"  and  they  continued  for  many  years  in  the  possession  of 
his  two  sons-in-law.  Mar.  30,  1662,  Nathaniel  Treadway,  with  Sufferana  (How), 
his  wife,  sold  to  Nathaniel  Coolidge,  all  his  right  in  the  wears  on  Charles  River, 
near  the  Corn  Mill ;  and  on  May  26,  1663,  John  Stone,  of  Sudbury  (the  other  son- 
in-law  of  Mr.  How),  sold  to  Nathaniel  Coolidge,  all  his  right  in  the  river  and  fish- 
ing wears  in  Watertown,  being  the  one-half  thereof. 

§  135.  At  a  town  meeting  held  Ap.  12,  1671,  "Upon  consideration,  that  the 
Indians  being  like  to  buy  the  privilege  of  the  wears  and  fishing  at  the  river,  which 
the  town  apprehend  will  be  much  to  the  damage  of  the  town,  they  being  like 
to  be  bad  neighbors,  the  town  voted,  all,  as  one  man,  that  they  were  altogether 
against  their  having  the  wears,  or  that  they  should  set  down  so  near  the  town."  At 
the  same  time  it  was  voted  to  purchase  the  wears  for  the  use  of  the  town,  and  a  com- 
mittee was  chosen  to  treat  with  Nathaniel  Coolidge  on  the  subject.  From  that  time 
the  wears  have  continued  to  be  the  property  of  the  town,  and  have  been  annually 
rented  at  the  highest  price  that  could  be  obtained. 

§  136.  At  the  time  of  the  purchase  of  the  wears  of  Coolidge,  Watertown  com- 
prised the  territory  of  Waltham  and  Weston,  and  when  these  towns  were  incorporated, 
they  retained  a  joint  proprietorship  in  the  wears,  which  continued  until  the  com- 
mencement of  the  present  century.  It  was  finally  cancelled  at  the  same  time,  and 
on  the  condition,  that  they  were  exonerated  from  the  burden  of  contributing  to  the 
maintainance  of  the  Great  Bridge  over  Charles  River.   [See  Sections  146-155.] 

§  137.  Mar.  8,  1742-3,  the  County  Court  granted  the  petition  of  Richard  Beers, 
and  others  of  Waltham,  to  construct  a  wear  in  Charles  River,  provided  they  leave 
one-third  of  the  river  free  for  fish  to  pass  and  repass. 

§  138.  As  early  as  1738,  altercations  arose  between  Watertown  and  the  towns 
situated  on  the  other  side  of  the  river,  respecting  their  claims  to  the  fishery.  In 
that  year,  the  people  of  Newton,  Needham,  Medfield,  and   Sherburne,  presented  to 


1038  APPENDIX   I. 

the  General  Court  a  complaint  against  the  inhabitants  of  Watertown,  for  stepping 
the  course  of  the  fish  in  Charles  River.  At  the  same  time  a  complaint  of  tho  same 
tenor,  was  presented  by  the  Indians  of  Natick.  The  representative  of  Watertown, 
Jonas  Bond,  was  directed  to  defend  his  constituents  in  opposition  to  these  petitioners. 
The  complaints  and  altercations  were  afterwards  frequently  reiterated. 

§  139.  The  number  of  fish  resorting  to  this  river  has  gradually  and  greatly 
diminished  since  the  first  planting  of  the  town,  especially  within  the  last  half  cen- 
tury, and  the  value  of  the  fishery  has,  of  course,  declined.  The  profits  of  the  fishery 
have  of  late  been  divided  between  Watertown  and  Brighton,  the  former  receiving 
seven-tenths  thereof,  and  the  latter  three-tenths,  which  division  has  been  the  result 
of  litigation. 


MILLS. 

§  140.  Neither  the  exact  date  nor  the  builder  of  the  first  mill  in  Watertown  have 
been  ascertained;  but  it  was  probably  built,  in  1634,  by  Edward  How,  at  the  joint 
expense  of  himself  and  Mr.  Matthew  Cradock.  It  was  built  at  the  first  fall,  at  the 
head  of  tide-water,  on  Charles  River,  on  "  Mill  Creek,"  which  was  a  canal  partly  or 
wholly  artificial,  leaving  the  river  at  the  head  of  the  falls,  where  a  stone  dam  was 
made  across  the  river.  It  is  probably  the  oldest  artificial  mill-race  or  canal  in  this 
country  that  has  continued  in  uninterrupted  use.  The  mill  is  not  mentioned  by 
Wood  [New  England's  Prospect,  1633],  who  mentions  the  wear  and  the  falls,  where 
the  mill  was  built;  but  it  was  built  before  August  19,  1635,*  when  Mr.  Edward 
How  sold  one-half  of  it  to  Mr.  Thomas  Mayhew  for  £200,  for  which  Mayhew  gave 
a  bond  and  mortgage  for  £400,  with  condition,  that  if  said  Mayhew  pay  said  How 
£200,  the  bond  to  be  void,  else  said  How  shall  enter  upon  the  moiety  of  the  mill,  as 
if  he  had  never  made  sale  thereof.  Mr.  Mayhew  bought  the  other  half  of  the  mill 
of  Mr.  Cradock,  through  his  agent,  Nicholas  Davison,  and  on  the  29th  May,  1639 
(perhaps  the  day  of  purchase),  mortgaged  this  half  of  the  mill,  with  six  shares  of  the 
wear,  to  Mr.  Cradock,  as  surety  for  £240.  On  the  18th  April,  1640,  Mr.  Mayhew, 
for  £400,  sold  to  Thomas  Dudley,  Deputy-Governor,  one  mill,  "bought  of  Edward 
How,  Elder  of  the  Church  of  Watertown,"  and  of  N.  Davison,  agent  of  Mr.  Cradock 
of  London,  subject  to  the  mortgage  to  Mr.  Cradock.  This  mortgage  to  Mr.  Cradock 
was  redeemed  by  Mr.  Dudley  on  or  before  Mar.  7,  1643—4.  No  evidence  has  been 
discovered  of  the  redemption  of  that  mortgage  of  Mayhew  to  How,  and  that  bond  of 
Mayhew  was  one  of  the  items  in  the  Inventory  of  Mr.  How,  who  died  in  the  summer 
of  1644.  From  this  statement  of  the  facts,  it  is  not  strange  that  Mr.  How  should 
urge  his  title  to  the  mill  with  pertinacity;  and  notwithstanding  Winthrop's  state- 
ment [II.  p.  50],  which  seems  imbued  with  partiality  or  personal  pique,"}"  there  is  rea- 
son to  surmise  that  the  official  influence,  and  domineering  disposition  of  his  antago- 
nist, gave  a  shape  to  the  decision  of  the  Court.  Gov.  Dudley  died  July  31,  1653; 
the  next  September  a  petition  was  presented  to  the  General  Court,  by  his  executors, 
requesting  that  the  legatees,  to  whom  "Mr.  Dudley  gave  Watertown  Mill,  have 
power  to  dispose  of  it  for  the  use  of  the  heirs ;"  which  petition  was  granted.  The 
greater  portion  of  the  mill  was  probably  purchased  about  this  time  by  Mr.  William 
Paine,  first  of  Watertown,  afterwards  of  Ipswich  and  Boston.  His  son,  John  Paine, 
of  Boston,  on  the  20th  Jan.,  1663,  conveyed  the  mill  as  security  to  Samuel  Apple- 
ton,  of  Ipswich,  who  had  married  Hannah,  the  only  daughter  of  William  Paine. 
[See  Paine,  p.  384,  and  also  Mid.  Deeds,  III.  51.]  On  the  1st  Sept.,  1676,  Samuel 
Appleton,  on  behalf  of  his  dr.  Judith,  sued  Caleb  Church  for  the  possession  of  five- 
sixths  of  the  corn-mill  in  Watertown.     It  appears  by  the  Will  and  Inventory  of 

*  A  grant  of  land  was  made  to  the  mill  in  Jan.  1634-5. 

t  'I'lie  lead,  which  Watertown  people  had  taken  in  resisting  Gov.  Winthrop's  policy  of  taxation  without  represen- 
tation; and  their  adoption  of  strict  Independency,  in  opposition  to  his  politico-ecclesiastical  policy,  produced  a 
prejudice  against  them,  in  his  mind,  wh'ch  on  several  occasions  he  ill  conceals. 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1039 

Thomas  Dudley,  Jr.,  a  grandson  of  the  Governor,  that  his  share  of  the  mill,  "  my 
grandfather  Dudley  gave  me,"  appraised  at  £40,  had  not  been  sold  in  Nov.,  1655, 
but  by  the  will  was  directed  to  be  sold.  Mr.  Thomas  Dan  forth  was  one  of  the 
executors,  and  probably  bought  this  share,  which  may  have  been  that  one-sixth 
which  did  not  come  into  the  possession  of  Mr.  William  Paine  and  his  heirs.  Hon. 
Thomas  Danforth  and  others,  who  had  become  proprietors  of  the  mill  previous  to 
Nov.  30,  1686,  when  they  had  erected  a  fulling-mill  adjoining  to  the  corn-mill, 
asked  and  obtained  liberty  of  the  town  to  build  a  house  on  the  N.  side  of  the  [mill-] 
stream.  Oct.  6,  1710,  Mary,  daughter  of  Hon.  Thomas  Danforth  (wife,  first  of 
Solomon  Phipps,  Jr.,  and  afterwards  of  Thomas  Brown  of  Sudbury),  by  deed  con- 
veyed to  her  daughters,  Sarah  and  Abial,  all  her  rights  in  the  corn-mills  and  fulling- 
mills  on  Charles  River  in  Watertown.  [See  p.  197,  note.]  The  subsequent  line  of 
proprietors  and  occupiers  of  the  mills  has  not  been  ascertained ;  but  they  were  for 
many  years  occupied  by  Stephen  Cook,  Jr.,  and  afterwards  by  David  Learned.  In 
1653,  the  mill  was  rated  at  £140  for  the  support  of  the  ministry. 

§  142.  The  next  mill  built  in  Watertown  was  a  fulling-mill,  built  on  Beaver 
Brook,  supposed  to  be  on  or  near  the  spot  where  are  now  Kendall's  Mills.  May  30, 
1662,  Timothy  Hawkins  sold  to  Thomas  Agar,  of  Roxbury,  fuller,  three-fourths  of 
an  acre  of  land,  bounded  N.  and  E.  by  Richard  Sawtel;  W.  by  land  of  Thomas 
Smith;  S.  by  Wm.  Knapp;  E.  by  lands  in  common  [?  boundary  of  Hawkins'  whole 
lot],  with  all  the  accommodation  of  water,  for  the  erecting  and  maintenance  of  a 
fulling-mill  in  the  said  place,  and  on  the  (?)  river  that  passeth  through  the  same; 
also  the  right  of  way.  Dec.  18,  1663,  Thomas  Agar,  fuller,  of  Wat.,  sold  the  same 
lot  of  laud,  with  the  fulling-mill  thereon  erected,  to  Thomas  Loveran,  late  of  Ded- 
ham,  Co.  Essex,  Old  England,  cloth-worker.  Jan.  3,  1669-70,  T.  Loveran  sold 
this  land  and  mill  to  Timothy  Hawkins  and  Benjamin  Garfield,  described  as 
surrounded  on  all  sides  by  land  of  T.  Hawkins.  [Mid.  Deeds,  III.  p.  52-7,  and 
IV.  72.]  A  corn-mill  was  erected  there  before  1690,  of  which,  at  that  time,  Thomas 
Rider  was  proprietor,  and  mortgaged  the  mill  and  30  acres  of  land  to  Dr.  Philip 
Shattuck  the  next  year.  In  1700,  the  mills  or  a  part  of  them,  belonged  to  Samuel 
Stearns,  son-in-law  of  T.  Hawkins.     [Mid.  Deeds,  XII.  515  and  625.] 

§  143.  The  next  mill  in  Watertown  was  on  Stony  Brook,  and  probably  built  at 
the  joint  expense  of  John  Livermore,  Richard  Child,  and  Josiah  Jones,  of  Water- 
town,  and  John  Heywood,  of  Concord.  Feb.  19,  1678-9,  they  bought  of  Nathaniel 
Treadway  and  wife  30  acres,  in  lieu  of  township,*  bounded  S.  E.  by  George  Parkhurst, 
and  N.  W.  by  Joseph  Underwood.  At  a  town  meeting,  Jan.  5,  1679-80,  it  was 
"  granted  that  the  new  corn-mill,  now  set  up  and  to  be  finished  at  Stony  Brook,  be 
freed  from  rates  for  20  years,  from  Jan.  5,  1679-80."  On  Mar.  3,  1683,  John 
Heywood,  of  Concord,  and  wife  Anna,  for  £60,  sold  to  John  Livermore  one-fourth 
part  of  Stony  Brook  Mills;  and  on  Ap.  21,  1684,  Josiah  [?  Lewis]  Jones  and  wife 
Lydia,  for  £60,  sold  to  John  Bright  all  his  one-fourth  share  of  mills  at  Stony  Brook, 
viz.,  30  acres  bought  of  N.  Treadway,  and  land  bought  of  John  Chadwick,  with 
houses,  &c.  These  mills  were  probably  owned  some  time  by  Lieut.  John  Brewer, 
and  afterwards,  for  a  long  time,  known  as  Bigelow's  Mills.     [See  Section  130.] 

§  144.  The  mills,  built  on  the  three  points  just  referred  to,  were  the  only  ones  in 
the  town  for  the  first  seventy,  probably  the  first  hundred,  years  after  its  settlement. 
During  the  last  century,  at  dates  not  ascertained,  several  other  mills  were  built 
within  the  ancient  limits,  including  Waltham  and  Weston.  One,  long  known  as  the 
Bemis  Mill  or  Factory,  was  built  on  the  river,  about  one  mile  above  the  "Old  Mill." 
Another,  on  the  river,  about  a  mile  and  a  half  further  up,  was  built  by  John  Boies, 
where  the  Waltham  Factory  has  since  been  built;  another  on  Smelt  Brook,  on  the 
south  side  of  the  river;  another  on  the  ancient  Stower's  Brook,  of  late  known  as 
Hobb's  Brook;  another  on  the  ancient  Chester  Brook.     Since  the  beginning  of  the 

*  This  was  probably  the  30  A.  lot,  No.  43,  beyond  the  further  plain,  granted  to  Edward  How,  and  sold  by  his  son- 
in-law.  Treadway. 


1040  APPENDIX   I. 

present  century,  mills,  large  and  small,  for  various  manufacturing  and  mechanical 
purposes,  have  been  so  multiplied  and  enlarged,  within  the  original  limits  of  Water- 
town,  as  to  absorb  a  large  amount  of  capital,  employ  nearly  or  quite  all  the  water- 
power,  and  give  employment  to  very  numerous  families. 


FERRY  AND  BRIDGES. 

§  145.  In  the  town  records  there  is  no  notice  of  any  ferry ;  but  in  the  Colonial 
Records,  is  the  following  license.  By  the  Court,  Nov.  5,  1633,  "  Mr.  Richard 
Browne,  is  allowed  by  the  Court  to  keep  a  ferry  over  Charles  River,  against  his 
house,  and  is  to  have  2d.  for  every  single  person  he  so  transports,  and  Id.  apiece, 
if  there  be  two  or  more/'  The  spot  where  this  was  kept  has  not  been  ascertained. 
Probably  it  was  a  little  to  the  East  of  Mount  Auburn,  where  he  had  2£  A.  of  marsh, 
bordering  on  the  river,  and  7  Acres  of  uplaud,  which  he  sold  early  to  R.  Wellington. 

§  146.  There  are  several  bridges  within  the  bounds  of  Watertown,  mentioned  in 
the  early  records.  The  earliest,  and  much  the  most  important,  was  that  built  over 
Charles  River,  at  the  head  of  tide-water,  very  near  the  first  mill,  and  usually  called 
Mill  Bridge,  or  the  Great  Bridge.  The  earliest  reference  to  this  bridge  is  in  the 
records  of  the  General  Court,  June  2,  1641,  when  it  was  ordered  that  "  the  toll  of 
Mr.  Mayhew's  bridge  is  referred  to  the  Governor  and  two  magistrates,  to  settle  for 
seven  years."  The  right  or  privilege  of  a  toll-bridge  was  not  granted,  as  appears 
by  the  record  of  the  Court,  for  Oct.  17,  1643,  when  the  Court  granted  Mr.  May- 
hew  "  300  acres  of  land  in  regard  of  his  charges  about  the  bridge  at  Watertown 
Mill,  and  the  bridge  to  belong  to  the  country." 

§  147.  The  next  May  (1644),  the  Court  ordered  this  grant  to  be  laid  out  to  Mr. 
Mayhew,  and  appointed  a  committee  (Peter  Noyes  and  Edmund  Goodenow  of  Sud- 
bury), for  that  purpose.  It  was  probably  located  in  or  near  Nashaway;  but  there  is 
no  record  of  it.  It  is  evident  from  the  transactions  not  long  afterwards,  that  this 
was  only  a  foot-bridge  ;  and,  although  it  was  "  to  belong  to  the  country,"  there  was 
no  provision,  in  the  above  grant  to  Mr.  Mayhew,  for  the  repair  and  maintainance 
of  it.  Very  soon  after  obtaining  that  grant,  Mr.  Mayhew  moved  to  Martha's 
Vineyard. 

§  148.  The  following  preamble  and  order,  in  the  records  of  the  General  Court,  for 
May  26,  1647,  show  the  origin  of  the  first  horse-bridge ;  and  the  terms  imply  that 
it  was  the  first  one  ever  built  across  Charles  River.  "Whereas,  complaint  hath 
been  made  to  this  Court  of  the  great  want  of  a  horse-bridge  near  unto  Watertown 
Mill,  and  that  the  want  thereof  hath  hazarded  the  lives  of  several  persons,  and  may 
endanger  many  more,  and  for  that  the  best  and  most  commodious  place  is  in  the  bounds 
of  Watertown,  it  is  ordered  by  the  authority  of  this  Court,  that  there  be  a  sufficient 
horse-bridge  made  over  the  river  there,  by  the  inhabitants  of  Watertown,  before  the 
first  of  the  9th  month  [Nov.],  next  ensuing,  upon  pain  of  forfeiture  of  £10,  and 
after  that  10  shillings  a  day  to  the  country,  till  it  be  made  up  as  aforesaid." 

§  149.  Watertown  did  not  immediately  comply  with  this  order;  for,  on  the  11th 
of  November,  10  days  after  the  time  assigned  for  finishing  the  bridge,  the  Court 
"  granted  the  town  of  Watertown  to  the  first  of  the  4th  month  [May]  next,  upon 
the  penalties  prefixed  to  the  former  order;  also,  they  have  chosen  Mr.  Hibbeus,  Mr. 
John  Glover,  the  surveyor-general,  and  Edmund  Rice,  before  the  first  of  the  first 
month  [March]  next,  to  view  and  appoint  a  place  to  put  up  the  bridge  for  the  benefit 
of  the  country  and  town  within  the  bounds  thereof."  At  a  town  meeting  Dec.  28, 
1647,  "  the  town  appointed  Mr.  [Nathaniel]  Biscoe  and  Isaac  Stearns  to  consider 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  10-11 

how  the  bridge,  over  the  river,  shall  be  built,  and  to  agree  with  the  workmen  for 
doing  it  according  to  their  best  discretion."  As  it  was  not  completed  in  the  time 
specified,  upon  petition  the  Court  granted  that  Watertown  shall  "have  till  the  10th 
of  the  7th  month  [Sept.]  next,  for  building  their  bridge,  under  the  former  penalty 
in  the  last  Court  order."  When  the  bridge  was  completed,  does  not  appear  in  the 
records,  but  on  the  28th  of  the  next  November  (1648),  the  selectmen  ordered  pay- 
ments to  be  made  to  Mr.  Biscoe  and  Isaac  Stearns  for  work  done  at  the  bridge. 

§  150.  The  construction  and  materials  of  the  bridge  were  so  defective,  that  it  re- 
quired not  unfrequently  to  be  repaired  or  rebuilt;  and,  for  the  first  hundred  years, 
Watertown  felt  the  building,  rebuilding,  and  maintainance  of  it  to  be  a  heavy  bur- 
den, and  repeatedly  asked  aid  from  the  county,  but  without  success.  It  appears  in 
the  above  cited  grant  to  Mr.  Mayhew,  that  the  bridge  was  "  to  belong  to  the  country," 
not  to  the  town,  and  in  the  order  of  the  Court,  the  committee  were  "  to  appoint  a 
place  to  put  up  the  bridge  for  the  benefit  of  the  country." 

§  151.  In  less  than  twenty  years  it  was  found  necessary  to  rebuild  the  bridge,  and 
in  Nov.,  1667,  the  selectmen  ordered  that  the  land  on  the  Meeting-house  Common, 
upon  the  W.  side  of  the  way  from  the  meeting-house  to  pastor  Sherman's  house,  shall 
be  sold,  and  the  pay  to  go  towards  building  the  bridge  at  the  Mill ;  and  in  the  same 
month  the  land  was  sold  to  John  Coolidge,  Jr.,  for  20  shillings  per  acre.  The  select- 
men agreed  that  the  bridge  should  be  built  with  baskets,  and  in  Dec.  they  agreed 
with  John  Coolidge,  Jr.,  to  build  the  bridge  for  40  shillings  a  basket;  the  baskets 
to  be  each  8  feet  long,  6  feet  broad,  and  7  feet  between  the  joints;  the  town  to  fill 
the  baskets  with  stones,  to  lay  the  timbers  in  place,  the  sill  to  be  laid  even  with  the 
ground  ;  the  bridge  to  be  half  trees,  slit  with  a  saw,  to  be  three  abreast  to  each  bas- 
ket, and  the  bridge  to  be  at  least  three  feet  wide,  to  be  done  by  the  first  of  Septem- 
ber. At  a  town  meeting,  Dec.  10th,  three  days  after  the  bargain  with  J.  Coolidge,  Jr., 
it  was  voted  not  to  allow  what  the  selectmen  had  done  about  the  sale  of  the  land  on 
Meeting-house  Common,  and  about  the  bridge.  The  width  of  the  bridge  shows  that 
it  was  not  designed  for  carriages,  but  only  for  horses,  cattle,  and  pedestrians. 
Whether  this  scheme  of  the  selectmen  for  building  a  bridge  was  carried  out,  the 
records  do  not  show. 

§  152.  A  committee  on  the  bridge  was  appointed  Aug.  3,  1681,  and  the  next  month, 
Sept.  20,  £14  was  put  in  the  hands  of  Caleb  Church,  the  miller,  to  procure  liquor, 
as  cheap  and  good  as  he  can,  for  the  comfortable  carrying  on  the  work  at  the  bridge. 
Mar.  28,  1684,  the  selectmen  desired  Caleb  Church,  to  make  the  bridge  over  Mill 
Creek,  the  old  bridge  being  carried  away  by  the  flood.  The  bridge  over  the  river 
appears  to  have  been  destroyed  before  May,  1694 ;  for  in  that  month  the  selectmen 
and  surveyors  agreed  with  John  Barnard,  Jr.,  for  the  carpentry  of  Mill  Bridge,  he 
to  provide  5  or  6  hands,  if  he  can ;  he  to  have  3s.  Qd.  per  day  and  find  himself,  and  the 
hands  half  a  crown  a  day,  and  find  themselves.  The  bridge  was  not  immediately 
built,  for  on  July  24,  1695,  the  town  voted  that  Ensign  Barsham,  David  Fiske,  and 
Daniel  Warren,  Jr.  (surveyors),  take  care  that  there  be  a  bridge  built  over  Charles 
River,  as  near  the  place  where  it  stood  before  as  may  be  conveniently,  and  that  it 
be  a  foot  bridge;  also  that  Corp.  (Joseph)  Sherman,  Ensign  (John)  Hammond, 
Serj.  (Samuel)  Thatcher,  and  John  Stacey,  be  added  to  the  surveyors,  in  advising 
how,  &c.  Sept.  6,  1695,  there  was  a  presentment  against  the  town  for  want  of  a 
bridge  over  Charles  River,  to  which  it  was  replied  that  it  was  repairing.  Again,  as 
early  as  1714,  there  was  a  presentment  for  the  want  of  a  bridge  over  Charles  River, 
and  the  town  appointed  a  committee  in  May,  1713,  and  again  in  May,  1714,  to  apply 
to  the  Court  to  have  Charles  River  Bridge  maintained  by  the  County  of  Middlesex. 
June  8,  1714,  the  Court  do  not  see  cause  to  comply  with  the  petition  of  sundry  prin- 
cipal inhabitants  of  Watertown,  but  dismiss  the  same.  The  next  month,  July  IS, 
the  selectmen  of  Watertown,  appearing  in  Court  to  answer  the  presentment  of  said 
town  for  want  of  a  bridge  over  Charles  River,  near  the  Mill,  the  Court,  upon  view 
of  the  record  of  the  Honorable  [General]  Court's  grant  of  land  for  charge  about  the

bridge,  by  or  near  Watertown  Mill,  asserting  the  bridge  to  belong  to  the  country, 
the  Court  dismissed  the  presentment  for  the  present,  they  paying  the  fees.  The 
next  year,  July  5,  1715,  the  selectmen  appearing  in  Court  on  the  same  presentment, 
say  the  bridge  was  built  at  the  charge  of  the  country,  and  was  so  to  remain,  as  ap- 
pears from  a  copy  of  a  record  of  the  General  Court  (referring  to  the  terms  of  the 
grant  to  Mr.  Mayhew),  and  the  Court  continued  the  consideration  thereof,  till  the 
next  Quarter  Sessions.  The  same  subject  coming  before  the  Court  the  next  year,  Ap., 
1716,  the  Court,  finding  that  Watertown  has  maintained  and  supported  a  foot  and 
horse  bridge  over  said  river,  upwards  of  fifty  years,  order  Watertown  to  repair  said 
bridge  forthwith. 

§  153.  In  the  present  state  of  private  and  public  pecuniary  resources,  and  the 
great  progress  made  in  civil  engineering,  the  building  of  a  bridge  over  Charles  River 
would  be  regarded  as  a  very  trifling,  unimportant  enterprise.  But  it  was  not  so  in 
early  times.  For  the  first  eighty  years  after  its  settlement,  the  whole  assessed  value 
of  Watertown  was  less  than  a  twentieth  part  of  the  estate  of  a  single  inhabitant  at 
this  time.  The  expenses  of  supporting  the  ministry,  schools,  the  government,  and 
paupers,  the  building  and  repairing  of  meeting-houses  and  school-houses,  the  making 
and  repairing  roads,  and  the  occasional  heavy  charges  and  losses  resulting  from 
Indian  warfare,  occasioned  a  very  heavy  taxation.  As  an  illustration  of  this,  it  may  be 
observed,  that  the  annual  expense  of  supporting  the  ministry  alone,  in  the  time  of 
the  Rev.  John  Sherman,  was  about  two  per  cent,  upon  the  whole  assessed  value  of 
the  town.  Under  these  circumstances,  it  is  not  strange  that  Watertown  should  often 
complain  of  being  compelled  to  maintain  "  the  Great  Bridge,"  for  the  convenience  of 
the  country,  at  their  own  expense. 

§  154.  Upon  the  incorporation  of  Weston  and  of  Waltham,  one  of  the  stipulations 
upon  which  the  rest  of  the  town  consented  thereto,  was  that  those  towns  should 
continue  to  render  their  proportional  aid  in  the  maintenance  of  the  Great  Bridge ; 
and  this  arrangement  continued  until  the  commencement  of  the  present  century.  In 
the  records  of  the  several  towns  may  be  found  frequent  reference  to  this  business. 
For  an  account  of  the  time  and  manner  in  which  this  joint  responsibility  was  can- 
celled, and  the  whole  devolved  upon  Watertown,  see  Francis,  p.  116  ;  and  Section  136. 
§  155.  The  other  bridges  mentioned  in  the  early  records  were  those  over  Beaver 
Brook,  Stower's  Brook,  Smelt  Brook,  and  Chester  Brook.  The  first  mention  of  the 
bridge  over  Beaver  Brook  (in  Sudbury  Road,  now  called  Main  Street)  was  Oct.  8, 
1673,  when  the  selectmen  paid  for  "a  gallon  of  liccur  at  the  putting  down  of  Beaver 
Brook  Bridge."  There  was  a  presentment  against  the  town  in  1695,  and  again  in 
1705,  for  want  of  a  bridge  over  Smelt  Brook.  At  the  last  presentment,  Jonas  Bond, 
Esq.,  in  behalf  of  the  selectmen,  answered,  it  was  a  shallow  place,  and  a  good  bottom, 
and  needed  not  a  bridge ;  yet  the  Court  ordered  that  the  said  way  be  forthwith 
mended  on  pain  of  paying  £5.  In  April,  1713,  the  town  was  presented  for  suffering 
the  bridge  over  Stoicers  Brook,  in  the  upper  way  [the  road  leading  to  Lincoln], 
orderly  laid  out,  to  be  defective.  It  was  answered  that  there  never  was  a  bridge 
over  Stower's  Brook  at  that  place.  The  next  December,  a  report  was  accepted  as  to 
the  way  called  The  Old  Way  [crossing  the  brook  near  Hobbs's  Mill].  In  Aug.,  1719, 
the  town  was  again  presented  for  not  building  a  bridge  "  over  Stower's  Brook,  on 
the  town  road  ['the  upper  way']  leading  to  the  northerly  Precinct  of  Weston." 
Major  Jonas  Bond,  in  behalf  of  the  selectmen,  presented  their  plea,  that  they  were 
under  heavy  charges  for  building  the  Great  Bridge ;  but  the  Court  ordered  the  way 
to  be  speedily  repaired.  In  the  preceding  January,  the  town  had  agreed  with  Thomas 
Learned  and  Capt.  Thomas  Prentice  to  rebuild  the  Mill  Bridge  over  Charles  River. 
A  bridge  over  Chester  Brook  is  sometimes  mentioned  at  an  early  date,  but  at  what 
time  or  place  it  was  first  built,  has  not  been  ascertained. 

§  156.  The  Cowpen  Farm.  Nov.  2,  1649,  the  town  appointed  John  Sherman  to 
get  a  pen  of  one  acre,  fenced  with  four  rails,  for  "  lodging  a  herd  in  the  woods,  and 
to   procure  a  small   house   for  lodging   the  herdsman,   towards   Sudbury  bounds." 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1043 

Mar.  31,  1651,  tbe  selectmen  engaged  Solomon  Johnson,  as  herdsman,  at  £25  per 
annum,  and  allowed  him  the  use  of  the  house.  Dec.  16,  1651,  an  agreement  be- 
tween the  selectmen  and  Johnson  was  signed,  making  him  herdsman  for  seven  years. 
Seven  years  afterwards,  Oct.  1,  1658,  another  agreement  with  Johnson,  as  herds- 
man, was  signed.  Sept.  4,  1660,  a  committee  (Serj.  Beers  and  Serj.  Bright)  was 
sent  to  the  Cowpen  Farm,  to  examine  the  condition  of  the  fences,  housing,  &c,  and 
they  reported  that  Johnson  had  not  performed  his  covenant;  and  on  the  5th  Dec, 
1660,  articles  of  agreement  were  signed  by  the  selectmen  and  Henry  Curtis,  relating 
to  the  Cowpen  Farm,  leased  to  him  for  seven  years,  with  40  A.  of  upland,  of  which 
13  A.  are  broken  up  land  (leaving  out  tbe  land  of  John  Sawin),  also  20  A.  of  mea- 
dow ;  the  rent  free  the  first  year,  and  he  to  pay  £5  a  year  for  the  other  six  years. 
At  the  same  time,  a  committee  (Serj.  Beers,  Serj.  Bright,  and  Nathaniel  Treadway) 
was  appointed  to  run  the  line  between  John  Sawin  and  the  Cowpen,  and  to  stake  out 
70  A.  for  the  Cowpen  Farm.  When  this  farm  was  first  laid  out,  by  mistake,  it  en- 
croached upon  land  of  John  Sawin,  and  "  to  prevent  differences,"  the  town  agreed, 
Ap.  12,  1659,  to  pay  John  Sawin.  This  farm  of  Sawin  was  the  lot  in  the  Dividends 
originally  granted  to  Bryan  Pendleton;  by  him  sold  to  Peter  Noyes ;  by  bim  sold 
to  George  Munnings;  by  bim  sold  to  John  Sherman ;  and  in  Ap.,  1653,  repurchased 
of  Sherman  by  Munnings,  in  behalf  and  for  the  use  of  John  Sawin,  his  son-in-law, 
and  his  grandson,  John  Sawin,  Jr.  In  Dec,  1661,  the  following  were  the  boundaries 
of  this  farm  :  W.,  Sudbury  Line;  N.,  Highway;  E.  by  farm  land,  "which  Curtis 
doth  farm ;"  S.,  common  land.  This  farm  land,  cultivated  by  Curtis,  was  probably 
the  farm  originally  granted  to  Capt.  Daniel  Patrick.  [See  Section  104.]  Oct.  1, 
1662,  it  was  "agreed  [by  a  vote  of  the  town]  that  the  Cowpen  doth  belong  to  the 
farm  land,"  and  it  was  voted,  Jan.  18,  1663-4,  that  Henry  Curtis  hold  the  lease 
until  it  expires.  But,  on  the  7th  Nov.,  1664,  the  town  ordered  the  Cowpen  Farm 
to  be  sold;  and  on  the  same  day  it  was  bought  by  John  Livermore,  Sen.,  and  given 
to  his  son,  John,  by  whose  family  it  was  held  for  a  long  time.  It  is  probable  that 
the  Cowpen  ceased  to  be  used  for  its  original  purpose,  sometime  before  this  sale  of  it. 


GRAVEYARDS. 

§  157.  The  earliest  mention  of  a  burying-place,  in  the  town  records,  is  July  5, 
1642,  when  it  was  "  ordered,  that  Hugh  Mason,  Thomas  Hastings,  and  John  Sher- 
man, are  appointed  to  set  up  a  sufficient  [fence]  about  The  Burying-place,  with  a  five 
foot  pale,  and  two  rails  well  nailed,  by  the  15th  of  2d  [?  7th]  month,  and  the  town 
to  pay  them  for  it."  The  next  December  20th,  a  rate  was  ordered,  and  one  item 
was,  "for  fencing  the  burying-place,  £6  10s."  Its  location  is  not  described;  but  it 
was  doubtless  what  is  now  known  as  The  Old  Graveyard  of  Watertown.  It  is  at  the 
S.  E.  corner  of  Mount  Auburn  Street  [Mill  St.,  or  Camb.  Road]  and  Grove  Street. 
It  is  about  half  a  mile  west  of  Mount  Auburn  Cemetery.  The  terms  of  the  above 
order  imply  that  it  was  then  in  use,  and  well  known  as  the  burying-place,  and  it  is  pro- 
bable that  it  had  been  used  for  sepulture  from  the  first  planting  of  the  town.  If  any 
other  lot  was  used  for  the  same  purpose  before  it,  it  must  have  fallen  into  disuse 
very  soon,  leaving  no  vestige  or  tradition  of  its  existence.  There  can  be  only 
extremely  few,  if  any,  older  graveyards  in  New  England,  and  it  was  the  only  one  in 
the  town  (then  including  Waltham  and  Weston)  for  more  than  seventy  years.  In 
it  repose  the  remains  of  the  Puritan  progenitors  and  kindred  of  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands of  people,  not  only  of  those  who  have  lived,  or  are  living,  in  almost  every 
town  and  village  of  New  England,  but  of  very  many  who  are  dispersed  throughout 
North  America.     Some  evidence  of  this  may  be  found  in  the  preceding  genealogies. 

§  158.  The  origin  of  the  two  next  graveyards  are  of  the  same  date.  At  a  town 
meeting,  Jan.  1,  1702-3,  it  was  "  voted  that  they  give  liberty  to  the  Society  belong- 


1044  APPENDIX   I. 

ing  to  the  Middle  Meeting-house  [Mr.  Angier's],  and  the  Society  belonging  to  the 
Farmers'  Meeting-house,  to  choose  and  appoint  some  convenient  place  for  each 
Society  for  burying-places  to  bury  their  dead  in,  or  for  any  others  belonging  to  said 
town,  and  make  return  of  their  doings  therein.  2d.  Voted  that  if  the  said  burying- 
place  or  burying-places  cannot  be  procured  without  paying  for  them,  the  inhabitants 
will  pay  for  them,  as  they  can  agree,  or  as  they  shall  be  valued  by  independent  inha- 
bitants mutually  chosen."  At  a  town  meeting,  Oct.  23,  1704,  it  was  "  voted,  that 
the  town  will  give  Richard  Blois  three  pounds  in  money,  and  all  the  land  lying  be- 
tween Capt.  Benjamin  Garfield's  field,  Beaver  Brook,  and  the  Country  Road,  and  the 
road  leading  over  Beaver  Plain  to  be  four  rods  wide  through  said  land,  the  said 
Blois  giving  to  the  town  treasurer  a  deed  of  the  land,  as  it  is  already  laid  out,  for  the 
use  of  the  town  forever  for  a  burying-place  for  the  middle  part  of  the  said  town." 
This  land  of  Blois's  was  probably  the  4  A.  lot  of  upland  in  the  hither  plain,  granted 
to  his  father,  Edmund  Blois,  bounded  N.  by  the  highway;  W.  by  common  land 
[i.  e.  not  yet  granted];  E.  by  John  Loveran.  This  land,*  conveyed  to  Blois  in 
exchange  for  the  burying-ground,  afterwards  belonged  to  Daniel  Flagg,  and  at  a 
town  meeting,  Mar.  6,  1720-1,  "liberty  was  granted  Daniel  Flagg  to  fence  in  the 
Westerly  Burying-place  in  Watertown,  making  a  gate."  At  a  town  meeting,  Jan. 
8,  1722-3,  it  was  "voted  to  accept  of  the  highway  laid  out  by  Daniel  Flagg,  near 
Beaver  Brook,  which  is  on  the  side  hill,  instead  of  going  through  the  low  land,  where 
it  was  formerly."  This  is  now  called  Grove  Street.  This  continued  to  be  the  only 
graveyard  of  Waltham  for  more  than  one  hundred  years.  Other  lots  have  of  late 
been  appropriated  to  the  same  use.  We  find  nothing  further  in  the  town  records 
respecting  the  burying-place  of  the  Farmers  (Weston) ;  but  it  appears  by  the  Mid. 
Reg.  of  Deeds,  that,  previous  to  May  3,  1704,  Mary  Sherman  (wid.  of  Rev.  John  S.) 
and  James  Sherman,  of  Sudbury  (ex'rs  of  Rev.  John  Sherman)  had  sold  part  of  a  4 
A.  lot,  near  the  Farmers'  Meeting-house,  for  a  burying-place. 

§  159.  The  second  graveyard,  within  the  present  limits  of  Watertown,  is  situated 
at  the  intersection  of  Mount  Auburn  and  Common  Streets,  on  the  N.  side.  The  date 
of  the  appropriation  of  the  land  to  this  purpose  has  not  been  ascertained;  but  it  was 
probably  about  1754,  when  a  meeting-house  was  built  there.  Since  this  lot  was 
opened,  there  have  been  comparatively  few  intermeuts  in  the  old,  or  lower  graveyard. 

§  160.  Within  the  present  century  other  graveyards  have  been  laid  out,  one  of 
which  is  renowned  for  its  extent,  its  natural  beauties,  and  all  the  additional  attrac- 
tions, which  wealth  and  refined  taste  can  give  it.  But,  although  Blount  Auburn 
Cemetery  is  within  the  limits  of  Watertown,  it  cannot,  with  propriety,  be  deemed 
one  of  its  graveyards.  It  is  the  burial-place  of  the  wealthy  and  distinguished  of 
the  metropolis  of  New  England,  and  of  a  wide  region  around  it.  It  is  situated  in 
the  midst  of  that  region  of  small  lots  where  the  first  planters  of  the  town  first  settled, 
and  as  it  contains  more  than  100  acres,  it  probably  includes  a  very  considerable 
number  of  those  ancient  homestalls;  but  their  exact  localities  are  not  sufficiently 
well  ascertained  to  determine  who  were  the  original  grantees  of  the  lands.  Deacon 
Simon  Stone  had  a  grant  of  12  A.  of  upland,  supposed  to  be  the  southern  border  of 
the  cemetery,  and  previous  to  1644,  he  had  purchased  several  other  adjoining  lots, 
so  that,  at  this  date,  his  homestall  contained  50  acres,  and  probably  much  of  it  is 
embraced  within  this  cemetery.  Much  of  the  land  in  the  cemetery  is  not  adapted 
to  tillage,  and  it  long  bore  the  name  of  Stone's  Woods. 


INDIANS. 

§  161.  The  history  of  Watertown  has  been  very  little  implicated  directly  with  the 
Aborigines.  It  never  suffered  a  hostile  invasion  by  them,  and  was  often  a  refuge  of 
those  who  fled  from  other  plantations  to  escape  the  atrocities  of  Indian  warfare.     It 

*  This  lot  was  the  residence  of  the  late  John  Bright,  Esq.,  and  it  ie  now  occupied  by  his  heirs. 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  1045 

had  an  Indian  name  (Pequusset),  and  it  is  not  improbable  that  it  was  an  Indian 
settlement,  before  the  country  had  become  so  nearly  depopulated  by  a  very  fatal 
epidemic.  The  advantages  of  Watertown  for  planting,  beaver  hunting,  and  espe- 
cially for  fishing,  must  have  been  attractive  to  them.  We  have  not  discovered  that 
the  English  settlers  ever  purchased  the  territory  of  Watertown  from  the  Indians, 
except  probably  a  small  claim,  in  1638,  on  the  south  side  of  the  river.  Capt.  Roger 
Clap  says,  that  the  ten  Dorchester  men,  from  on  board  the  Mary  and  John,  who 
went  up  to  Watertown  on  the  31st  May,  1630,  when  they  had  encamped  in  Dorches- 
ter Field,  learned  that  300  Indians  were  in  their  neighborhood.  These  were  pro- 
bably the  Nonantum  Indians ;  for  Nonantum  was  only  a  short  distance  from 
Dorchester  Field,  on  the  other  side  of  the  river.  It  is  not  improbable  that  their 
number,  in  this  instance,  was  much  exaggerated.  "Upon  a  complaint  made  by 
Sagamore  John  and  Peter,  for  having  two  wigwams  burnt,  which,  upon  examina- 
tion, appeared  to  be  occasioned  by  James  Woodward,  servant  of  Sir  Richard  Salton- 
stall,  it  was  therefore  ordered  that  Sir  Richard  should  satisfie  the  Indians  for  the 
wrong  done  to  them  (which  accordingly  he  did  by  giving  them  seven  yards  of  cloth), 
and  that  his  said  servant  should  pay  unto  him  for  it,  at  the  end  of  his  time,  the  sum 
of  Ls.  [50s]."  [Colonial  Records,  Mar.  8,  1630-1.]  On  the  4th  Sept.,  1632,  the 
Court  ordered  a  severe  penalty  to  be  inflicted  on  Richard  Hopkins,  of  Watertown,  for 
selling  guns,  powder,  and  shot,  to  the  Indians. 

§  162.  At  a  General  Court,  Sept.  6,  1638,  "  it  was  agreed  that  the  Court  of 
Assistants  should  take  order  for  the  Indians,  that  they  may  have  satisfaction  for  their 
right  at  Lynn  and  Watertown."  The  next  spring,  Mar.  12,  1638-9,  "the  Court  de- 
sired Mr.  Gibbons  to  agree  with  the  Indians  for  the  land  within  the  bounds  of 
Watertown,  Cambridge,  and  Boston."  May  13, 1640,  by  the  Court,  "it  was  ordered, 
that  the  £23  8  6,  laid  out  by  Capt.  Gibbons,  shall  be  paid  him,  vidt.,  £13  8  6  by 
Watertown,  and  £10  by  Cambridge;  and  also  Cambridge  is  to  give  Squa  Sachem  a 
coat  every  winter  while  she  liveth."  The  situation  and  extent  of  the  land  purchased 
at  this  time  are  not  given;  but  it  was  probably  the  Indian  claim  to  "the  wear  lands," 
and  Nonantum,  on  the  south  side  of  the  river.  This  conjecture  is  favored  by  the 
circumstance,  that  Cambridge  [Newton]  and  Boston  [Muddy  River]  were  embraced 
in  the  commission,  and  that  Watertown  and  Cambridge  paid  the  expense. 

§  103.  In  1671,  an  attempt  was  made  by  Indians  to  purchase  of  Nathaniel  Coolidge 
the  fishing  wears,  with  their  privileges,  in  Watertown  ;  but  this  was  effectually  re- 
sisted by  the  town.  [See  [28]  p.  747,  and  Section  135.] 

§  161.  Although  the  town  was  never  invaded  by  hostile  Indians,  Watertown  sol- 
diers and  emigrants  encountered  their  full  share  in  Indian  wars  and  massacres.  An 
early  and  very  notable  instance  was  the  massacre  of  Mr.  John  Oldham,  at  Block 
Island,  in  July,  1636,  which  was  the  immediate  cause  of  the  exterminating  Pequot 
war.  Aug.  25,  1636,  soon  after  the  report  of  this  massacre  was  received,  the  Gover- 
nor and  Council  sent  90  men  under  four  commanders,  one  of  whom  was  William 
Jennison  (then  an  Ensign,  but  made  a  captain  the  next  March),  in  three  shallops, 
with  orders  to  put  to  death  the  men  of  Block  Island,  but  to  spare  the  women  and 
children ;  then  to  go  and  demand  satisfaction  of  the  Pequods,  and  if  refused,  to  en- 
force it.  George  Munnings,  of  Watertown,  was  one  of  the  volunteers  in  this  expe- 
dition, and  Oct.  28,  1636,  the  Court  granted  to  him  £5,  and  the  fines  for  a  week, 
"  in  regard  of  the  loss  of  his  eye,  in  the  country's  service  in  the  voyage  to  Block 
Island." 

§  165.  To  carry  on  this  war,  Massachusetts  agreed  the  next  April  15th,  to  furnish 
160  men,  of  whom  14  were  to  be  raised  in  Watertown.  Capt.  William  Jennison, 
of  Watertown,  was  one  of  the  committee  appointed  May  17,  1637,  "  for  the  present 
expedition  for  men,  munition,  and  provisions,"  for  this  war,  and  he  was  soon  after 
on  a  committee  for  apportioning  to  the  several  towns  an  additional  levy  of  50  men, 
of  whom  4  were  to  be  raised  by  Watertown.  As  prompt  action  was  necessary,  "  the 
first  of  the   Massachusetts  men,  that  could   be  raised,"  consisting  of  40  men,  were

placed  under  the  command  of  Capt.  Patrick,  of  Watertown,  and  their  departure 
hastened.  Robert  Seeley,  a  Watertown  man,  who  had  moved  to  Connecticut,  not 
long  before,  was  lieutenant,  next  in  command  under  Capt.  John  Mason,  in  that 
dreadful  fight,  which  exterminated  the  Pequot  nation. 

§  166.  Many  of  the  very  early  towns  (as  we  have  attempted  to  show  in  another 
place,  Section  48,  49,  &c),  were  planted  chiefly,  or  in  part,  by  emigrants  from  Wa- 
tertown, and  a  full  history  of  those  towns,  as  Wethersfield,  Lancaster,  Groton,  &c, 
&c,  would  show  that  Watertown  planters  and  their  descendants  have  not  been  ex- 
empt from  a  full  share  of  the  perils  and  hardships  of  a  border  life,  often  environed 
by  savage  neighbors.  The  history  of  no  war  gives  a  full  record  of  the  slain,  and  of 
the  sufferings  resulting  from  warfare  ;  more  especially  would  this  be  the  case  in  wars 
waged  by  such  foes  as  the  American  Indians. 

§  167.  Besides  the  massacres  of  these  early  plantations,  settled  by  Watertown 
people,  we  have  the  names  of  some,  who  did  not  migrate  from  Watertown,  but 
went  to  aid  in  the  defense  of  those  plantations,  and  fell  a  sacrifice  to  their  public 
spirit.  William  Flagg,  was  slain  at  Lancaster,  Aug.  22,  1675.  Capt.  Richard 
Beers,  was  slain,  and  John  Chinery,  mortally  wounded  in  battle,  at  Northfield,  Sep- 
tember 4,  1675,  and  in  the  same  month  John  Ball  was  slain  at  Lancaster.  In  the 
same  year,  John  Sherman,  Jr.,  son  of  Capt.  John  Sherman,  fell  in  the  Narraganset 
fight.  In  Feb.,  1675-6,  George  Harrington,  of  Capt.  Wadsworth's  company,  was 
slain  at  Lancaster.  Upon  the  attack  upon  Groton,  in  March,  1676,  40  Watertown 
men  marched  to  their  relief.  At  a  later  day,  Serj.  Jacob  Fulham,  of  Weston,  fell 
heroically  in  the  renowned  fight  at  Lovewell's  Pond,  May  8,  1725.  Lieut.  Gershara 
Flagg,  of  Woburn,  eldest  son  of  Thomas,  of  Wat.,  was  slain  by  Indians,  July  6, 
1690,  at  Lamprey  River. 


EARLY  MEETING-HOUSES,  CHURCHES,  AND  MINISTERS. 

§  168.  As  the  first  settlers  " resolved  that  they  would  combine  into  church-fellow- 
ship, as  their  first  work,"  it  is  very  probable  that  they  very  soon  constructed  a  house 
for  public  worship.  Their  number  was  so  great  from  the  first,  that  they  could  not 
all  be  accommodated  in  any  one  of  the  small  hastily  built  tenements,  which  they 
must  have  first  erected.  One  was  certainly  built  before  1634,  as  the  first  transac- 
tion in  the  records,  after  the  distinct  civil  organization  of  the  town,  related  to  the 
meeting-house.  The  records  do  not  show  when  or  where  it  was  situated;  but  as  the 
residences  of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  Rev.  Mr.  Phillips,  Elder  Richard  Browne, 
and  of  most  of  those,  who  were  first  admitted  freemen,  were  at  the  east  of  Mount 
Auburn,  and  as  that  part  of  the  plantation  was  then  designated  "the  town,"  there 
can  be  little  or  no  doubt,  but  that  the  first  meeting-house  was  built;  there.  On 
the  7th  Aug.,  1635  (?36),  a  rate  of  £80  was  ordered  to  be  levied  for  "  the  charges  of 
the  new  meeting-house,"  which  implies  that  there  was  another  and  older  one.  It  is 
conjectured  that  this  new  one  was  built  on  the  Meeting-house  Common,  near  the  old 
graveyard.  It  was  provided  with  a  bell  as  early  as  Feb.,  1648-9,  when  a  bill  for  a 
bell-rope  was  ordered  to  be  paid,  and  the  next  September  a  town  rate  was  levied  "  to 
build  a  gallery  in  the  meeting-house." 

§  169.  On  the  14th  of  Oct.,  1654,  it  was  ordered  that  a  new  meeting-house  be 
built  between  Serj.  Bright's  [where  Mr.  J.  P.  Cushing  now  resides],  and  John  Bis- 
coe's  [N.  W.  corner  of  Belmont  and  Common  Streets],  and  they  agreed  with  John 
Sherman  to  build  it  by  the  1st  of  Sept.  1656,  for  £400,  with  the  use  of  the  old 
seats;  and  a  rate  of  £150  was  then  ordered  to  begin  with;  and,  it  was  agreed 
that  "  Cambridge  meetingdiouse  shall  be  the  pattern  in  all  points."  There  was, 
however,  so  much  dissatisfaction  among  the  people  with  that  site,  that,  on  the  20th 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1047 

of  the  next  February,  it  was  "  voted  that  the  site  of  the  meeting-house  be  deter- 
mined by  Mr.  Endicote,  Capt.  Bridges,  and  Mr.  Aderton  [?  Atherton]."  No  record 
of  their  decision  has  been  discovered,  but  it  probably  resulted  in  the  building  of  it 
on  the  Meeting-house  Common,  on  or  near  the  site  then  occupied,  and  it  is  probable 
that  the  house  was  completed  about  the  time  stipulated,  as  on  the  7th  of  November, 
1656,  an  order  was  passed  "  to  seat  the  meeting-house,"  and  the  rules  were  :  1st, 
office;  2d,  age;  3d,  estate.*  A  little  more  than  a  year  afterwards  (Jan.  22,  1657-8), 
it  was  ordered,  that  brother  [Edmund]  Blois,  shall  have  £8,  for  looking  to  the  meet- 
ing-house. It  appears  that  he  held  this  office  until  his  decease;  for,  on  the  24th  of 
May,  1681,  the  selectmen  chose  Benjamin  Crispe,  "in  the  room  of  goodman  Blois, 
to  take  care  of  the  meeting-house,  with  a  salary  of  £4  10."  This  continued  to  be  a 
place  of  public  worship  for  the  whole  town,  including  Waltham  and  Weston,  until 
after  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Bailey,  when  an  earnest  controversy  arose  about  the 
inconvenience  of  the  location,  which  resulted  in  a  division  of  the  church,  and  the 
building  a  meeting-house  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Belmont  and  Lexington  Streets, 
on  the  homestall  lot  originally  granted  to  Rev.  John  Knowles. 

§  170.  Soon  after  the  decease  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Angier,  the  town  was  divided  into 
two  precincts,  with  a  distinct  boundary  between  them,  and  distinct  and  independent 
ecclesiastical  organizations.  Soon  after  this  each  society  built  new  meeting-houses. 
The  western  precinct  (Mr.  Angier's  Society),  built  theirs  a  little  north  of  Waltham 
Plain,  near  the  old  Livermore  homestead,  of  late  known  as  the  Lyman  Place;  and 
in  1723,  the  Eastern  Precinct  (Mr.  Gibbs's  Society),  built  their  new  meeting-house, 
50  ft.  long,  and  40  ft.  wide,  on  School-house  Hill,  afterwards  known  as  Meeting- 
house Hill,  and  which  is  the  ancient  Strawberry  Hill.  This  continued  to  be  the 
place  of  worship  until  1754,  when  a  new  meeting-house  was  built  near  the  corner  of 
Mount  Auburn  and  Common  Streets. 

§  "j"  170.  The  first  church  of  Watertown  was  organized  July  28, 1630,  and,  next  after 
that  of  Salem,  is  the  oldest  in  the  colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  [See  Sections  11— 
17.]  It  was  the  only  church  in  the  town  for  sixty-six  years.  Rev.  George  Phillips 
was  the  first  and  the  only  pastor  for  more  than  ten  years.  It  was  the  first 
church  that  adopted  strict  Independency,  or  Congregationalism ;  and,  in  this  respect, 
for  some  time,  it  stood  alone,  at  least  until  after  the  arrival  of  Rev.  John  Cotton. 
For  a  long  time  it  adhered  more  strictly  to  Independency  than  either  of  the  other 
churches.  We  may  infer  this  from  Mather's  account  of  the  organization  of  the 
church ;  from  Winthrop's  account  of  the  ordination  of  Mr.  Knowles,  and  from  suc- 
ceeding ordinations.  Mr.  John  Knowles  was  ordained  pastor,  Dec.  9th,  1640,  as  a 
colleague  of  Mr.  Phillips. f  With  the  exception  of  an  absence  of  about  seven  months 
on  a  mission  to  Virginia  (Oct.  8,  1642  to  June  20,  1643),  he  continued  a  pastor  of 
Watertown  about  ten  years.  He  is  said  to  have  sailed  to  England  in  1650,  but  the 
precise  date  has  not  been  ascertained.  This  was  probably  a  sudden  determination, 
as  he  was  admitted  freeman  in  May  of  that  year.  He  was,  for  about  three  years  and 
a  half,  a  colleague  of  Mr.  Phillips,  who  d.  July  1,  1614.  After  this  event,  he  was 
sole  pastor  about  the  same  length  of  time;  after  which,  about  the  close  of  the  year 
1647,  Rev.  John  Sherman  returned  from  Milford  to  Watertown,  and  became  his 
colleague.  [See  pp.  432  and  935.]  This  shows  that  Mr.  Sherman  was  not  the  im- 
mediate successor  of  Mr.  Phillips,  as  has  been  commonly  represented.  After  the 
departure  of  Mr.  Knowles,  Mr.  Sherman  continued  to  be  the  sole  pastor  until  his 
decease,  Aug.  8,  1685. 

§  f  171.  These  three  (Phillips,  Knowles,  and  Sherman)  were  the  only  pastors  of 

*  There  can  lie  little  doubt  that  a  new  meeting-house  was  built  at  this  time;  as,  in  addition  to  the  levy  of  £150 
first  ordered,  another  of  £152  16s.  l£d.  was  ordered  Nov.  9,  1655,  and  the  same  sum  again  Dec.  2,  1656,  soon  after 
the  time  stipulated  for  its  completion. 

t  See  Section  15.  It  is  probable  that  the  principles  of  Independency,  imbibed  in  Watertown,  by  those  who  first 
planted  Wethersfield,  was  the  occasion  of  the  early  ecclesiastical  strife  in  Connecticut.  It  is  also  to  be  noticed  that 
the  sensible  and  cogent  memorial  of  Woburn  Church,  in  1653,  against  ecclesiastical  tyranny,  and  advocating  Inde- 
pendency, was  signed  by  several  emigrants  from  Watertown,  and  that  the  first  subscriber  was  John  Kuight. 
[Mass.  liist.  Coll.,  3d  Ser.,  I.,  p.  38.] 


1048  APPENDIX   I. 

Watertown  for  the  first  fifty-five  years.  But,  in  the  meantime,  there  were  several 
clerical  men  and  ruling-elders  residents  of  the  town.  It  is  said  [Hist,  of  Glasten- 
bury,  p.  31],  that  the  Rev.  Richard  Denton  came  to  Watertown  iu  1634,  and  the 
next  year  went  to  Wethersfield.  This  is  not  improbable,  although  no  confirma- 
tion of  it  is  found  in  the  Watertown  or  Mass.  Colonial  Records.  Rev.  John  Sherman, 
before  mentioned,  came  over  in  1634,  and  resided  in  Watertown  until  he  was  dis- 
missed from  Watertown  Church  to  Wethersfield  in  May,  1635.  Mather  says  that, 
on  a  thanksgiving-day  in  Watertown,  "  Mr.  Sherman  preached  his  first  sermon  as  an 
assistant  to  Mr.  Phillips,"  in  the  presence  of  "many  other  divines,"  who  "wondered 
exceedingly"  at  this  early  display  of  his  ability.  He  resided  in  Connecticut  about 
twelve  years  and  a  half.  In  1636,  Mr.  Ralph  Wheelock  and  Mr.  Henry  Phillips 
went  from  Watertown  to  Dedham,  with  the  early  planters  thereof,  as  candidates  for 
teacher  (i.  e.  for  the  ministry).  Whether  they  ever  preached  in  Watertown,  the 
records  do  not  show.  Neither  of  them  obtained  the  pastorship  at  Dedham.  Mr. 
Wheelock  engaged  in  official  civil  life  in  Dedham;  afterwards  resided  in  Medfield. 
It  is  probable  that  Mr.  H.  Phillips  also  renounced  the  clerical  profession.  Between 
1637  and  1642,  Mr.  Thomas  Carter  and  Mr.  Henry  Greene  settled  in  Watertown, 
and  received  grants  of  land.  In  the  lists  of  possessions,  they  are  both  styled  Elders. 
Mr.  Carter  was  an  officer  of  Watertown  Church,  and,  as  an  Elder,  with  Elder 
Edward  How,  signed  the  dismissal  of  members  to  Dedham  Church.  He  was  ordained 
the  first  minister  of  Woburu,  Nov.  22,  1642.  Mr.  Green  was  ordained  the  first 
minister  of  Reading,  Nov.  5,  1645.     [See  pp.  261  and  776.] 

§  171.  We  have  not  discovered  any  notice  of  more  than  two  lay  Ruling  Elders  of 
Watertown.  Mr.  Richard  Browne  had  been  an  officer  in  a  Church  of  Separatists  in 
London,  and  was  an  Elder  of  Watertown  Church  at  its  first  organization.  He  had 
undoubtedly  much  influence  in  causing  the  church  to  assume  strict  Independency. 
He  was  dismissed  from  the  office  of  Elder  in  1632,  through  the  influence  and  insti- 
gation of  those  magistrates  and  others  who  were  devising  and  imposing  that  politico- 
ecclesiastical  domination,  which  has  been  so  reproachful  to  that  colony;  and  it  is 
probable  that  their  persecution  of  him  should  be  attributed  quite  as  much  to  his  bold 
advocacy  of  ecclesiastical  independency,  and  his  opposition  to  taxation  without  repre- 
sentation, as  to  his  ideas  of  Popery.  [See  Richard  Browne,  pp.  fl22-4.]  Mr. 
Edward  How,  who  died  in  1644,  very  near  the  time  of  Mr.  Phillips's  decease,  was  an 
Elder  for  several  years ;  but  the  records  do  not  show  the  date  of  his  election.  After 
his  decease,  the  only  officers  in  the  church  appear  to  have  been  pastors  and  deacons. 
The  distinction  between  pastor  and  teacher  was  never  recognized  in  Watertown. 
The  town  records  mention  together  the  two  pastors,  Knowles  and  Sherman,  giving 
precedence  to  the  former.  Winthrop  [II.  p.  18]  noticing  the  ordination  of  Mr. 
Knowles,  Dec.  9,  1640,  three  years  and  a  half  before  the  decease  of  Mr.  Phillips, 
says,  "  The  Church  of  Watertown  ordained  Mr.  Knowles,  a  good  man  and  a  prime 
scholar,  pastor,  and  so  they  had  now  two  pastors  and  no  teacher,  differing  from  the 
practice  of  the  other  churches,  as  also  they  did  in  their  privacy  [private,  exclusive 
manner],  not  giving  notice  thereof  to  the  neighboring  churches,  nor  to  the  magistrates, 
as  the  common  practice  was."  The  church,  in  this  instance,  clearly  evinced  their 
principles  of  strict  Independency.  They  had  the  stronger  reason  for  adhering  to 
these  principles,  after  the  intermeddling  of  the  magistrates  and  others  in  the  case  of 
their  worthy  Elder,  Mr.  Browne. 

§  172.  From  the  preceding  statement,  it  may  be  seen  that  the  Rev.  Mr.  Sherman 
continued  the  sole  pastor  of  the  church  almost  thirty-five  years  after  the  departure 
of  Mr.  Knowles  for  England.  There  are  no  church  records  of  that  period  extant, 
and  we  know  little  of  the  condition  or  doings  of  the  church  during  that  time,  except 
the  little  that  may  be  obtained  incidentally  from  other  sources.  From  the  silence 
of  the  town  records,  we  may  infer  that  there  was  peace  and  harmony. 

§  173.  Oct.  12,  1674,  ten  years  before  the  decease  of  Mr.  Sherman,  the  town 
voted  to  "desire  Mr.  Thomas  Clark  to  be  helpful  of  Mr.  Sherman  in  preaching;" 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1049 

and  on  the  15th  of  June,  1685,  two  months  before  his  decease,  the  town  "voted  to 
treat  with  Mr.  [John]  Bailey  to  help  the  minister."  On  the  24th  of  August,  it  was 
"  voted  that  the  town  would  defray  the  charge  of  our  Reverant  Pastor  Sherman's 
funeral;"  and,  at  the  same  time,  appointed  a  committee  [Capt.  Sherman,  Father 
Coolidge,  Deacon  Bright,  and  Simon  Stone]  to  apply  to  Mr.  Bailey.  On  Nov.  2, 
1685,  the  town  voted  a  rate  of  £80  for  Mr.  Bailey,  "  the  year  to  begin  Aug.  24, 
1685."  It  appears  that  he  did  not  accede  to  the  proposal;  and,  on  June  8,  1686, 
the  town  appointed  a  committee  "to  request  Mr.  Bailey,  the  elder,  to  appoint  an 
interview."  At  an  adjourned  meeting,  June  20th,  "  the  Reverant  Mr.  Bailey  being 
present  amongst  us,  and  declaring  himself  ready  to  come  amongst  us,  in  order  to  con- 
tinuing with  us,  if  peace  and  love  continueth  amongst  us,  and  we  make  his  life  com- 
fortable. The  town  declared,  by  a  vote,  their  acceptance  of  his  answer,  and  doe 
desire  that  cear  be  taken  to  fetch  him  up,  as  soon  as  may  be  with  conveniency ;  and 
do  dezire  to  do  thear  utmost  to  satisfy  his  desyre."  The  stipulations,  or  bargain, 
between  the  parties,  do  not  seem  to  have  been  determined  until  about  the  end  of 
August. 

§  174.  Mr.  Bailey  was  installed,  Oct.  6, 1686.  This  is  said  to  be  the  first  instance, 
or  one  of  the  first,  of  an  installation  in  the  colony.  The  early  Congregational 
Churches  of  New  England  did  not  generally  regard  ordination  as  a  ceremony  or 
sacrament  for  admitting  men  into  the  clerical  order,  or  caste,  but  a  process  for  induct- 
ing them  into  office,  and  investing  them  with  the  powers  pertaining  to  it.  Their 
views  were,  that  election  to  office,  by  a  church,  or  company  of  believers,  must  precede 
ordination ;  that  whatever  power  or  privilege  was  conferred  by  ordination  lasted  no 
longer  than  the  connection  of  the  minister  with  the  church  over  which  he  had  been 
ordained;  and  that,  if  he  took  charge  of  another  church  as  pastor,  he  must  be  in- 
ducted into  office  by  another  ordination.  Mr.  Bailey  had  been  a  minister  for  some 
time  in  Ireland,  where  he  had  probably  imbibed  Presbyterian  views  of  ordination; 
and  when  he  was  settled  in  Watertown,  he  was  installed  in  office  without  ordination. 
In  his  journal,  he  says,  "I  was  solemnly  set  apart  for  the  pastoral  work  at  Water- 
town,  without  the  imposition  of  hands."  [See  the  elaborate  and  learned  notes  of 
Rev.  Samuel  Sewall,  Am.  Quart.  Reg.,  XIII.,  p.  48,  "Mr.  Phillips,"  and  p.  56, 
"Installation."] 

§  175.  At  a  town  meeting,  Nov.  1,  1686,  about  three  weeks  after  the  installation 
of  Mr.  John  Bailey,  it  was  "  voted  with  a  very  full  vote  that  the  town  did  still 
earnestly  desire  that  they  might  enjoy  Mr.  [Thomas]  Bailey,  the  younger,  to  be 
helpful  to  his  brother  in  the  ministry."  He  did  not  immediately  comply  with  this 
desire;  for,  on  the  27th  Sept.,  1687,  it  was  "voted  to  fetch  up  Rev.  Thomas  Bailey 
at  the  charge  of  the  town,"  and,  on  the  7th  of  November,  it  was  voted  that  "Rev. 
Thomas  Bailey's  £60  shall  begin  the  same  day  he  came  to  dwell  among  us,  2  Nov., 
1687,  with  house-room  and  firing."  The  town  records  furnish  no  evidence  that  he 
was  ever  ordained.or  installed  in  Watertown.  He  d.,  Jan.  21,  1688-9,  after  a  resi- 
dence in  Watertown  of  a  little  more  than  fourteen  months. 

§  176.  Mr.  John  Bailey  returned  to  Boston,  in  1692,  but  it  is  probable  that  he 
attended  very  little  to  pastoral  duties  after  the  summer  of  1690.  His  health  was 
feeble,  his  disposition  affectionate,  and  his  temperament  nervous  and  desponding. 
His  brother  Thomas  d.  in  Jan.,  1689,  and  his  wife  died  in  April,  1690.  This  last 
bereavement  seems  to  have  greatly  depressed  him.  In  his  church  record,  Ap.  12, 
1690,  after  recording  some  admissions  to  the  church,  he  adds,  "  I  meant  to  have  said 
something  here  farther  as  to  it  [delay  to  join  the  church],  but  Lyddy  is  dead,  and  I 
feel  entirely  indisposed  to  everything."  The  last  time  he  admitted  any  to  the  church 
was  August  3,  1690,  and  at  the  end  of  the  record,  he  says,  "A  sad  week  of  tempta- 
tion, I  had  before  [this],  having  but  few  in  the  church  to  help  me,  and  encourage 
me ;  but  God  carried  me  through."  The  vlast  time  he  officiated  at  a  marriage  in 
Watertown,  was  Mar.  6,  1690-1,  and  the  last  baptism  was  performed  May  31,  1691. 
It  is  probable  that  he  attended  very  little,  if  any,  to  pastoral  duties  after  this  date. 


1050  APPENDIX   I. 

§  177.  In  the  church  records,  Ap.  27,  1690,  Mr.  Bailey  says,  "I  admitted  [to  the 
church]  Mr.  Henry  Gibbs,  who  has  sometimes  preached  for  me,  and  now  this  quarter 
of  a  year  has  lived  with  me."  This  probably  indicates  about  what  time  Mr.  Gibbs 
first  went  to  Watertown.  Oct.  14,  1690,  the  town  voted  "  to  make  choice  of  a  help 
to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  ministry  amongst  us,  in  this,  our  great  want."  This 
implies  that  Mr.  Bailey  still  retained  his  pastoral  relation,  but  was  unable  to  fulfil 
its  duties.  At  the  same  time  it  was  voted  "to  treat  with  Mr.  Henry  Gibbs  ;"  and  to 
give  him,£40.  At  a  town  meeting,  Nov.  3,  1690,  Capt.  Sherman,  Lieut.  Bond,  and 
the  deacons,  reported  Mr.  Gibbs's  answer,  "  that  he  looketh  upon  it  as  a  call  from 
God,  that  he  hath  inclined  the  town  to  be  so  unanimous  in  their  calling  of  him,  and, 
therefore,  is  willing  to  attend  to  the  said  work  as  God  shall  enable  him."  The  town 
accepted  the  answer,  and  voted  that  his  salary  began  this  day.  This  appears  to  have 
been  a  call  to  Mr.  Gibbs  to  be  an  assistant  to  Mr.  Bailey,  and  not  to  be  a  pastor.  At  a 
town  meeting,  a  year  later,  Nov.  16,  1691,  a  committee  [Mr.  Bond,  Capt.  Warren, 
and  Simon  Stone],  was  chosen  "  to  treat  with  Rev.  Henry  Gibbs,  and  Mr.  Bailey  to 
be  helpful,"  &c.  A  week  later,  Nov.  23d,  it  was  voted  that  "said  committee  shall 
now,  in  the  time  of  our  vacancy,  provide  help  for  the  town,  and  defray  the  charge 
out  of  the  £60  salary  ;"  and  that  the  balance  in  the  hands  of  Bond  and  Jennison, 
"should  be  given  to  the  Rev.  Mr.  Cosson"  [Cotton].  Dec.  28,  1691,  the  selectmen 
directed  rates  for  the  two  ministers — Mr.  Bailey's,  but  three-quarters  of  the  year  to 
be  collected.  The  circumstances  and  proceedings  here  referred  to  render  it  very 
probable,  that  Mr.  Bailey  ceased  to  perform  pastoral  duties  in  the  summer  of  1691, 
not  long  after  the  performance  of  the  last  baptism.  As  he  was  settled  in  October, 
at  which  time  his  salary  began,  the  three-quarters  of  the  year  above  mentioned 
would  terminate  in  July.  It  was  not  an  uncommon  thing  for  towns  to  be  in  arrears 
in  the  payment  of  ministers.  This  may  have  been  the  case  here,  and  Mr.  Bailey 
may  have  remained  in  the  town  until  the  rate  was  collected,  and  the  arrearage  paid. 
His  pastorship  in  Watertown,  lasted  a  little  less  than  five  years,  and  during  that 
time  he  admitted  116  to  the  church,  performed  347  baptisms,  and  officiated  at  39 
marriages. 

§  178.  Notwithstanding  the  inconvenience  many  of  the  people  labored  under,  on 
account  of  their  remoteness  from  the  meeting-house,  which  was  then  situated  towards 
the  eastern  border,  far  from  the  centre  of  the  territory,  and  of  the  population  of  the 
town,  the  town  records  do  not  indicate  that  there  was  any  serious  strife  on  that 
account,  until  1692,  after  Mr.  Bailey  returned  to  Boston.  Yet,  the  Report  [the 
advice  and  determination]  of  the  Committee  of  the  Council,  to  whom  the  points  in 
dispute  were  referred,  say,  "  there  has  been  of  a  long  time,  even  ever  since  the  days 
of  your  blessed  pastor  Phillips,  an  earnest  contending  about  the  place  of  meeting." 
That  its  removal  had  been  generally  and  confidently  expected,  for  several  years,  is 
evident  from  the  following  vote,  passed  at  a  town  meeting,  Feb.  12,  1685-6,  pre- 
vious to  the  settlement  of  Mr.  Bailey.  "Agreed,  the  town  would  hire  of  any,  who 
should  build  a  house  for  the  minister,  until  the  meeting-house  ivas  removed,  or  another 
one  built  elsewhere.1'  In  1685,  soon  after  tbe  decease  of  Rev.  Mr.  Sherman,  the 
farmers  presented  a  petition,  which  is  not  recorded,  but  the  purport  of  which  may 
be  inferred  from  the  following  vote,  passed  by  the  town  Nov.  10,  1685.  "Voted 
that  the  farmers'  petition  should  be  suspended,  as  to  an  answer  to  it,  until  it  pleaseth 
God  to  settle  a  minister  amongst  us."  They  had  probably  asked  to  be  exempted 
from  taxation  for  the  support  of  a  ministry,  which  they  could  not  attend  on  account 
of  their  remoteness.  But  that  contentious  spirit  is  not  evinced,  which  afterwards 
prevailed.  It  appears  from  the  record  of  the  organization  of  the  church  of  the 
Farmers'  Precinct  [Weston],  that  a  considerable  number  of  the  members  had  belonged 
to  the  Church  of  Sudbury,  whose  meeting-house  was  much  nearer  to  them  than  that 
of  Watertown.  Even  as  early  as  1650  or  '51,  this  remoteness  from  the  meeting- 
house is  referred  to  by  Johnson  [Wond.  Work.  Prov.  chap,  xxxiii.],  who,  speaking 
of  "  this  great  town,  consisting  of  160  families,"  calls  it  "  a  fruitful  plat,  of  large 


HISTORY    OF    WATERTOWN.  1051 

extent,  watered  with  many  pleasant  springs,  and  small  rivulets,  running  like  veins 
throughout  her  body,  which  hath  caused  her  inhabitants  to  scatter  in  such  a  manner, 
that  their  Sabbath-assemblies  prove  very  thin,  if  the  season,  favor  not." 

§  179.  In  1692,  an  exciting  controversy  arose  in  the  town  about  the  location  of 
the  meeting-house,  which  then  stood  not  far  from  the  old  graveyard. 

At  a  town  meeting  Nov.  18, 1692,  in  order  to  determine  the  location  of  the  meet- 
ing-house, it  was  ordered  that  "  those  who  are  of  the  mind  to  build  and  set  up  a 
meeting-house  on  the  hill  between  the  Pound  and  Widow  Whitney's,  let  them  follow 
Robert  Harrington,  Sen.;  those  that  are  of  the  mind  to  build  it  where  it  is,  let 
them  follow  Mr.  Norcross,"  and,  "in  case  we  can't  agree  among  ourselves,  we  will 
refer  it  to  men."  It  appears  that  they  did  not  agree,  and  on  the  7th  of  December, 
the  selectmen  appointed  Robert  Harrington,  Daniel  Warren,  Sen.,  and  Isaac  Mixer, 
Sen.,  to  petition  Gov.  Phipps  and  the  Council  concerning  the  meeting-house.  A 
town  meeting,  summoned  by  the  Council,  was  held  Dec.  27,  1692,  at  which  were 
present  the  Lieut.  Governor,  Major  Phillips,  Esq.,  Mr.  Suel  [Samuel  Sewall],  Esq., 
Capt.  Lines  [Lynde],  Esq.  It  was  then  voted  1st,  "  that  matters  of  difference  in 
Watertown,  relating  to  the  settling  a  minister  and  the  placing  the  meeting-house  is 
referred  to  a  committee."  2d,  "  that  we  do  pray  the  Governor  and  Council  to 
choose  a  committee,  and  that  we  will  set  down  by  the  determination  of  that  com- 
mittee in  reference  to  matters  aforesaid."  3d,  "  that  we  do  so  desire  and  appoint 
Mr.  William  Boud,  and  Lieut.  Benjamin  Garfield,  to  apply  themselves  to  the  Gover- 
nor and  Council  for  the  obtaining  a  committee  for  the  ends  above  said."  The  select- 
men received  notice,  Mar.  9,  1692-3,  of  a  meeting  to  be  held  at  Capt.  Sewell's,  in 
Boston,  the  next  Thursday  at  9  a.m.,  " concerning  the  meeting-house,"  which  meet- 
ing was  adjourned  to  the  23d.  The  following  is  the  "  return"  of  the  Council,  dated 
Boston,  May  18,  1693.  "Whereas,  there  has  been  of  a  longtime,  even  ever  since 
the  days  of  your  blessed  pastor  Phillips,  an  earnest  contending  about  the  place  of 
meeting  for  the  public  worship  of  God.  Having  heard  and  duly  weighed  the  alle- 
gations of  both  parties,  in  your  public  meeting,  and  considering  the  remoteness  of 
the  most  of  your  inhabitants,  from  the  place  where  the  meeting-house  now  stands. 
Our  advice  and  determination  in  that  matter  is,  that  within  the  space  of  four  years 
next  coming,  there  be  a  meeting-house  erected  in  your  town  on  a  knoll  of  ground 
lying  between  thehouse  of  Widow  Stearns,  and  Whitney's  Hill ;  to  be  the  place  of 
meeting  to  worship  God  for  the  whole  town.  And  if  in  the  mean  time  the  minister 
see  cause  to  dwell  in  the  house  where  the  Reverend  Mr.  John  Baily  dwell'd,  the 
town  pay  rent  to  the  proprietors,  as  hath  been  accustomed  since  its  building.  So 
praying  to  unite  your  hearts  in  his  fear,  we  take  leave,  who  are  your  truly  loving 
friends  and  brethren." 

[Sigued],  "  Wm.  Stoughton,  John  Phillips,  Jas.  Russell,  Sam.  Sewall,  Joseph 
Lynde."     [Addressed],  "  To  our  Brethren  and  Neighbors  of  Watertown." 

§  180.  Ap.  17,  1694,  the  selectmen  called  a  town  meeting,  to  be  held  on  the  9th 
of  May,  one  object  of  which  was  "to  consider  of  the  charge  of  building  a  new  meeting- 
house, and  to  see  to  the  performance  thereof,"  in  conformity  with  the  determination 
of  the  Council.  At  that  town  meeting  was  presented  an  earnest  protest  against  a 
compliance  with  the  decision  of  the  Council,  "  because  the  town,  nor  any  part,  never 
desired  any  gentlemen  to  say  where  we  should  build  a  meeting-house,  nor  when;  and 
we  do  absolutely  deny  ever  to  pay  one  penny  towards  any  such  building  at  that 
place ;  but  if  the  town  shall  see  cause  to  erect  a  place  of  meeting,  for  the  publick 
worship  of  God,  at  the  westward  part  of  our  town,  so  as  it  may  be  convenient,  where 
the  farmers,  with  such  others  that  way  as  will  be  pleased  to  join  with  them,  shall 
think  convenient,  we  shall  be  willing  to  be  helpful  therein,  as  much  as  may  be 
thought  necessary,"  &c.  This  protest  was  signed  by  eighty-two  men  and  women 
residing  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  town,  and  by  thirty-three  men  and  women  residing 
at  the  western  part  of  the  town,  in  the  farms. 


1052  APPENDIX   I. 

§  181.  The  majority  of  the  town  were  in  favor  of  compliance  with  the  advice  and 
determination  of  the  Council,  and  they  elected  selectmen,  who,  at  least  a  majority 
of  them,  were  of  the  same  views.  But  the  opposition  of  the  other  party,  belonging 
to  the  east  part  of  the  town,  was  very  fierce  and  acrimonious.  At  a  town  meeting, 
held  Oct.  2,  1694,  the  contention  was  so  great  that  the  Moderator,  Daniel  Warren, 
Sen.,  did,  by  advice,  adjourn  the  meeting,  "  to  prevent  such  inconvenience  as  might 
justly  be  feared  by  reason  of  the  heat  of  spirit  that  then  seemed  to  prevail. "  The 
contentious  party  immediately,  through  a  constable  of  their  party,  appointed  Simon 
Stone  moderator,  and  passed  some  votes,  against  which  the  selectmen  afterwards 
entered  their  dissent  as  irregular  and  not  valid,  and  ordered  their  protest  to  be 
entered  in  the  records.  A  counter-dissent  was  entered  for  the  other  party  by  Ebenezer 
Prout,  then  Town  Clerk,  which  the  selectmen  soon  after  (Mar.  15,  1694-5)  declared 
was  entered  without  their  knowledge  and  order  [for]  it  to  be  recorded.  It  was  at 
that  irregular  and  riotous  town  meeting,  that  the  vote  was  passed  to  make  Beaver 
Brook  the  eastern  boundary  of  the  Farmers'  Precinct.     [See  §  38.] 

§  182.  Notwithstanding  this  opposition,  on  the  7th  of  Mar.,  1694-5,  a  levy  for 
building  a  meeting-house  was  ordered,  at  4d.  per  pound,  amounting  to  £320  4.* 
The  house  was  built  without  delay,  for  a  town  meeting  was  held,  "  at  the  new  meeting- 
house," Dec.  20,  1695.  It  was  built  on  the  southeast  angle  of  the  cross  roads,  at  the 
crossing  of  Lexington  and  Belmont  Sts.  At  a  town  meeting,  the  next  February,  it 
was  voted  to  accept  the  new  meeting-house.  At  the  town  meeting  in  Dec,  a  com- 
mittee (Capt.  Warren,  Isaac  Mixer,  Sen.,  and  B.  Garfield)  were  appointed  to  treat 
with  the  Bev.  Henry  Gibbs.  In  his  reply,  dated  Feb.  4,  1695-6,  he  says:  " Being 
sensible  that  there  is  a  great  dissatisfaction  in  the  town  [the  eastern  part  of  it],  with 
reference  to  that  meeting  those  votes  were  passed  [appointing  a  committee  to  treat 
with  him],  I  fear  it  might  prove  uncomfortable,  should  I  express  my  compliance 
therewith;  and  so,  accordingly,  I  am  advised  to  decline  the  matter  till  such  time  as 
care  be  taken  to  remove  the  said  dissatisfaction,  not  doubting  but  that  this  being 
effected,  which  I  earnestly  pray  that  God  would  in  his  own  time  grant,  it  would  much 
conduce  to  our  comfort  and  advantage."  After  receiving  this  reply  "  to  the  town, 
the  town  applied  themselves  to  him  again,  but  he  refusing,  then  they  were  to  apply 
to  some  other  minister  to  preach  in  the  New  Meeting-house;"  but  "Mr.  Gibbs  to 
have  the  first  proffer."  At  a  town  meeting,  Mar.  12,  1695-6,  it  was  voted  that  only 
one-fourth  of  the  rate  be  paid  to  Mr.  Gibbs,  and  three-fourths  of  it  "to  be  paid  to 
the  preachers  appointed  by  the  town  to  preach  in  the  New  House."  At  the  same 
time,  it  was  "voted,  that  the  town  will  be  at  [assume]  the  charge  of  building  the 
New  Meeting-house,  that  is  set  up  in  the  place  appointed  by  the  Honored  Committee, 
bearing  date  May  18,  1693."  Also,  "voted,  that  the  New  Meeting-house  shall  be 
the  place  for  all  publick  town  meetings  for  the  future,  by  reason  it  is  most  in  the 
center."  At  a  town  meeting,  March  24th,  it  was  reported  by  the  committee  ap- 
pointed to  treat  with  Mr.  Gibbs  that  "he  refused  to  preach  even  so  much  as  one 
day."  There  appears  to  have  been  no  farther  application  to  Mr.  Gibbs,  who  seems 
to  have  sympathized  with  what  might  be  called  the  eastern  faction.  At  a  town 
meeting,  June  26th,  1696,  it  was,  "1st,  Voted  that  there  should  be  a  day  of  humilia- 
tion kept  in  Watertown,  the  time  and  place  to  be  appointed  by  the  reverend  elders. 
2d,  That  Simon  Stone,  Capt.  Barsham,  Isaac  Mixer,  and  Benjamin  Garfield,  are  de- 
sired and  appointed  to  entreat  the  Bev.  Mr.  Samuel  Willard  and  Bev.  Mr.  Cotton 
Mather  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  day  of  humiliation,  and  to  appoint  the  time  and 
place  of  meeting." 

§  183.  The  records  do  not,  I  think,  show  the  result  of  this  application;  but  the 
selectmen  were  notified  that,  on  the  28th  of  August,  1696,  "  the  church  chose  Mr. 
Angier  to  preach,  and  they  warned  a  town  meeting  to  be  held  on  the  21st  of  Sep- 
tember."     At  this  meeting,  "  each  party  chose  three  persons  to  represent  them  in  a

HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN'.  1053 

debate  with  those  of  the  middle  part  of  the  town."  The  east  end  chose  Capt.  Bar- 
sham,  Simon  Stone,  and  Joseph  Sherman,  to  represent  them,  and  the  middle  part 
chose  Jonathan  Sanderson,  Philip  Shattuck,  and  Benjamin  Garfield,  "to  debate  those 
matters  of  difference  that  did  keep  them  from  uniting  in  love  and  peace,  as  to  the 
worship  of  God."  The  "  proceedings  of  that  meeting  were  then  suspended,"  i.  e. 
adjourned,  to  Sept.  28th.  At  this  meeting,  Benjamin  Garfield,  the  Town  Clerk, 
"  did  relate  to  the  town  the  proposals  made  by  both  parties,  which  are  as  followeth. 
Those  of  the  east  part  of  the  town  were  : 

"1st.  To  have  two  congregations,  and  a  rate  made  by  the  town  for  their  mainte- 
nance of  both  the  m[in]isters,  and  so  the  people  be  at  liberty  to  go  to  which  meeting- 
house they  would. 

"  2d.  Or  to  come  to  the  old  meeting-house  again. 

"  3d.  Or  to  draw  lots  which  should  be  the  meeting-house  of  the  town. 

"  The  answer  of  the  middle  part  of  the- town  are  [is]  as  followeth  :  First,  That  two 
congregations  would  not  be  convenient,  because  if  we  should  be  in  two  congregations 
it  is  much  to  be  feared  we  should  be  two  in  spirit ;  which,  by  too  long  experience, 
we  know  would  be  very  unreasonable,  having  built  [a  meeting-house]  in  a  place  for 
the  whole  town.  3d  [proposition].  As  to  draw  lots  for  which  place  to  meet  in  would 
be  altogether  inconvenient,  because  the  town  did  refer  it  to  a  committee,  which  we 
count  is  a  lot  in  that  matter;  therefore  we  would  make  some  propositions  to  you  [to 
meet  the  three  made  by  the  other  party].  1st.  There  be  a  general  assessment  for 
building  Mr.  Gibbs's  house,  repairing  the  old,  and  building  new  meeting-house.  2d. 
Because  the  new  house  is  most  convenient  to  meet  in.  3d.  If  the  east  end  desire 
Mr.  Gibbs  should  be  first  put  in  vote  to  vote  for,  it  shall  be  so ;  and  if  there  be  a 
major  part  vote  for  him,  we  will  comply  with  it — to  preach  in  the  new  house.  4th. 
If  Mr.  Gibbs  hath  not  a  major  vote,  we  will  put  Mr.  Angier  to  vote.  5th.  It  was 
offered  to  the  east  end  to  have  both  ministers,  and  to  have  [no]  further  debates. 
6th.  Or  [if  there  is  to  be  further  debate]  to  have  moderators.  So  (at  this  same 
meeting,  Sept.  28,  1696)  "  after  all  this  debating,  the  town  concurred  with  the 
church  in  calling  Mr.  Angier  to  preach  in  the  new  meeting-house."  On  the  21st 
Dec,  the  town  voted  £70,  as  a  salary  for  Mr.  Angier,  with  house-room  and  firewood, 
the  year  to  begin  this  day.  At  the  same  time,  a  committee  was  appointed  "  to  pro- 
cure housing  for  Mr.  Angier,  and  to  bring  him  and  family  to  Watertown."  Mr. 
Angier  was  ordained  May  25,  1697.  The  first  baptism  by  him  was  June  20th ;  the 
first  admission  to  the  church,  Oct.  10,  1697;  and  the  first  marriage  by  him,  Jan.  3, 
1697-8.  At  a  town  meeting,  May  21st,  voted,  "continued  concurrence  in  Mr. 
Angier's  choise."  At  a  town  meeting  of  the  two  precincts,  orderly  warned,  July  2, 
1697,  it  was  voted  that  a  committee  (Capt.  John  Warren,  Deacon  Cook,  Lieut. 
Nathaniel  Bond,  Lieut.  Jonas  Bond,  and  Samuel  Eddy)  be  appointed  "  to  treat 
with  Rev.  Mr.  Gibbs  to  assist  Rev.  Mr.  Angier,"  and  "  to  pay  him  £65,  &c,  if  he 
accepts." 

"The  Reverend  Mr.  Angier,  being  informed  of  Mr.  Gibbs's  call,  hath  showed  his 
concurrence  as  followeth : 

"  I  having  been  informed  of  a  late  vote  of  the  inhabitants,  for  the  inviting  Mr.  Henry 
Gibbs  to  preach  in  the  new  meeting-house,  I  do  heieby  signify  my  good  liking  and 
approbation  of  Mr.  Gibbs  his  being  joined  with  me  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  for 
the  church  and  town  in  the  new  meeting-house. 

[Signed]  "Saml.  Angier." 

§  184.  Mr.  Gibbs  did  not  accept  this  offer.  He  had  been  preaching  in  the  old 
meeting-house  most  of  the  time  for  nearly  seven  years,  and  his  sympathies  and 
attachments  seem  to  have  pertained  to  the  people  of  the  east  end,  where  a  church 
was  organized  very  soon  after  the  settlement  of  Mr.  Angier,  and  where  Mr.  Gibbs 
was  ordained  Oct.  6,  1697.  The  first  baptism  was  performed  by  him  Nov.  7th,  and 
the  first  marriage,  Dec.  17,  1697. 


1054  .APPENDIX    I. 

§  185.  In  the  course  of  this  controversy,  the  people  at  the  middle  part  of  the 
town  seem  to  have  been  the  most  reasonable  and  liberal ;  but  they  did  not  evince  this 
upon  the  ordination  of  Mr.  Gibbs.  Judge  Sewall  [diary]  says,  the  ordination  of  Mr. 
Gibbs  "was  done  in  the  afternoon  in  the  open  air,  though  a  cold  day.  The  western 
party,  having  the  selectmen  on  their  side,  got  possession  of  the  meeting-house,  and 
would  not  suffer  the  assembly  to  enter  there." 

§  186.  It  may  fairly  be  questioned  which  of  the  two  was  entitled  to  the  distinction 
of  being  the  first  church ;  that  is,  whether  that  of  Watertown  or  that  of  Waltham  has 
the  best  claim  to  be  the  direct  descendant  of  that  church  which  was  organized  by 
Mr.  Phillips.  Mr.  Angier  was  elected  and  settled  by  a  majority  of  the  votes  of  the 
church  and  of  the  town,  and  he  was  then  the  only  minister  of  the  town.  His  society, 
or  a  majority  of  them,  afterwards  became  the  Church  of  Waltham.  Mr.  Gibbs,  at 
his  settlement,  was  neither  elected  nor  settled  by  a  vote  of  the  town,  but  by  the 
party  at  the  east  end.  But  his  society  occupied  the  old  meeting-house;  the  church 
records,  kept  by  Mr.  Bailey,  passed  into  his  hands;  and  when  the  town  was  divided 
into  two  precincts,  Mr.  Angier's  society,  after  his  decease,  built  their  meeting-house 
in  the  West  Precinct  [Waltham],  near  the  old  Nathaniel  Livermore  homestead, 
while  the  society  which  settled  Mr.  Gibbs,  embraced  the  whole  of  the  Eastern  Pre- 
cinct [Watertown],  and  a  large  number  of  those  families  who  at  first  belonged  to 
Mr.  Angier's  society.  Moreover,  the  church  records  of  Waltham  extend  no  farther 
back  than  those  kept  by  Mr.  Angier. 

§  187.  The  salaries  of  Mr.  Angier  and  Mr.  Gibbs  were  for  a  long  time  paid  out  of 
the  town  treasury;  but  there  arose  a  controversy  between  the  two  societies  about  the 
expenses  of  building  and  repairing  the  meeting-houses.  The  subject  was  referred  to 
Court.  The  advice,  or  report,  was  not  acceptable  to  a  majority.  It  is  probable  that 
the  ground  of  the  controversy  was  that  the  Western  (Mr.  Angier's)  Society  had  a 
majority  of  the  voters  in  the  town,  that  the  Eastern  (Mr.  Gibbs's)  Society  had  the 
most  wealth,  and  paid  the  most  taxes,  and  that  the  expenses  of  Mr.  Angier's  Society 
were  paid  in  part  by  taxes  levied  on  those  that  did  not  belong  to  it.  The  contro- 
versy continued  until  after  the  decease  of  Mr.  Angier.  Nov.  19,  1720,  the  General 
Court  appointed  a  committee  to  assign  a  boundary  line  between  the  two  precincts. 
They  made  their  report  in  December,  which  was  accepted  by  the  town,  and  Samuel 
Thaxter,  Esq.,  was  ordered  to  run  the  line.  This  committee  likewise  decided  that, 
within  two  years,  the  new  or  West  Meeting-house  should  be  removed  near  the  house 
of  Nathaniel  Livermore,  a  little  distance  northwest  of  the  mansion  of  Geo.  W.  Lyman, 
Esq.,  and  that  within  ten  years  the  old  or  East  Meeting-house  should  be  removed 
to  School-house  Hill.  [See  pp.  955  and  6.]  Mr.  Angier's  successors  have  been 
Rev.  Warham  Williams,  Rev.  Dr.  Jacob  Cushing,  Rev.  Mr.  Ripley,  &c,  and  the 
successors  of  Mr.  Gibbs  have  been  Rev.  Seth  Storer,  Rev.  Daniel  Adams,  Rev. 
Richard  R.  Elliott,  Rev.  Dr.  Convers  Francis,  Rev.  John  Weiss,  &c.  See  the  earlier 
of  these  names  in  this  work.  For  a  more  copious  account  of  Watertown  Church,  see 
Dr.  Francis's  history  of  the  town. 

§  188.  The  first  settlers  of  the  Farms  were  so  remote  from  the  meeting-house 
(from  5  to  8  miles  distant)  that  many  of  them  attended  the  meeting  in  Sudbury, 
yet  they  were  taxed  for  the  support  of  the  ministry  in  Watertown.  At  a  town 
meeting  Nov.  10,  1685,  three  months  after  the  decease  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Sherman,  it 
was  "  Voted,  that  the  Farmers'  petition  should  be  suspended  as  to  an  answer  unto  it, 
till  it  pleaseth  God  to  settle  a  minister  amongst  us."  The  petition  is  not  recorded, 
but  there  is  good  reason  to  believe  that  it  was,  to  be  exempted  from  taxation  for  the 
support  of  a  ministry  which  they  could  not  attend.  There  is  no  further  reference  to 
this  subject  in  the  records  until  Oct.  2,  1694,  where  it  appears  that  "Our  neighbors, 
the  Farmers,  were  upon  endeavors  to  have  a  meeting-house  amongst  themselves." 
The  next  January  they  agreed  to  build  a  meeting-house  thirty  feet  square,  and  to 
place  it  on  land  of  Nathaniel  Coolidge,  Sen.,  by  the  side  of  the  road,  at  the  head  of 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  1055 

Parkhurst's  meadow,  a  little  in  front  of  the  present  meeting-house.  The  next  year 
agents  were  chosen  to  contract  with  workmen  to  build  the  Farmers'  Meeting-house. 
Votes  were  passed  in  1698,  1699,  by  the  precinct  for  completing  the  meeting-house, 
which,  notwithstanding  its  smallness,  was  not  so  far  finished,  as  to  be  occupied  until 
Mar.  1700.  It  was  begun  by  subscription  and  afterwards  carried  on  at  the  expense 
of  the  precinct. 

§  189.  At  a  precinct  meeting  held  Oct.  8,  1700,  for  the  choice  of  a  minister,  in 
order  for  settlement,  Mr.  Thfliuas  Symmes,  was  chosen,  but  did  not  accept.  Soon 
after  a  similar  call  was  given  to  Mr.  Joseph  Morse,  and  on  the  6th  July,  1702,  by  a 
vote  of  30  to  12,  they  gave  him  a  call  to  settle  in  the  ministry.  The  next  year  they 
built  him  a  house  40  ft.  by  20,  and  he  gathered  a  congregation,  but  the  next  year 
(1704),  difficulties  arose,  so  that  a  church  was  not  organized,  and  he  was  not  settled 
[see  p.  374].  Feb.  11,  1707,  the  precinct  chose  Mr.  Nathaniel  Gookin,  to  be  their 
minister.  He  did  not  accept;  and  on  July  16,  1707,  they  chose  Mr.  Thomas  Tufts, 
who  declined  the  call.  Feb.  4,  1708,  they  gave  a  call  to  Mr.  William  Williams,  to 
settle  in  the  ministry  [see  p.  654].  He  accepted,  a  church  was  gathered  and  or- 
ganized, and  he  was  ordained  Nov.  2,  1709.  He  was  pastor  of  the  church  about  41 
years,  and  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Samuel  Woodward,  who  was  ordained  Sept.  25, 
1751  [see  p.  664].  He  d.  Oct.  5,  1782,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son-in-law,  Rev. 
Dr.  Samuel  Kendall,  who  was  ordained  Nov.  5,  1783  [see  pp.  325  and  665].  He 
d.  1814,  and  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Dr.  Joseph  Field  [see  p.  207].  For  more  full 
information  respecting  this  church,  see  the  very  valuable  centennial  Discourse  of 
Samuel  Kendall,  D.D. 


MILITARY  MEN  AND  AFFAIRS. 

§  190.  Few  of  the  first  settlers*  knew  much  of  the  military  art,  or  were  able  to 
teach  it ;  but  it  was  necessary  that  every  man  should  be  trained  to  the  best  means 
and  mode  of  defence  against  the  hostile  attacks  to  which  they  were  so  liable.  The 
government,  perceiving  this  necessity,  immediately  provided  for  it.  The  first  re- 
corded transaction  of  the  Governor  and  Assistants,  after  their  arrival,  having  refer- 
ence to  military  or  defensive  measures,  was  at  their  second  meeting,  Sept.  7,  1630, 
when  provision  was  made  for  the  annual  support  of  Capt.  Daniel  Patrick,  of  Water- 
town,  and  Capt.  John  Underhill,  of  Boston.  The  former  had  been  a  soldier  in  the 
Prince's  Guard  in  Holland,  and  probably  both  of  them  had  been  trained  and  habi- 
tuated to  a  military  life.  They  continued  to  be  supported  at  the  public  expense  for 
seven  years.  They  were  not  merely  militia  or  trainband  captains,  who  had  to  turn 
out  at  stated  times  with  the  soldiers  of  the  town,  where  they  resided,  nor  were  their 
duties  limited  to  those  towns.  They  were  the  military  disciplinarians  or  professors 
of  the  colony.        t 

§  191.  There  does  not  appear  to  have  been  any  general  military  organization  of 
the  colony,  until  about  the  close  of  1636,  in  the  time  of  the  Pequot  war-  It  is 
probable  that,  for  the  first  few  years,  Capt.  Underhill  had  the  training  of  the  soldiers 
on  the  south  side  of  Charles  River, — those  of  Boston,  Roxbury,  and  Dorchester ; 
and  that  Capt.  Patrick  had  the  training  of  those  on  the  north  side  of  the  river, — 
those  of  Charlestown,  Watertown,  New  Town,  and  Medford,  exclusive  of  those  in 
and  about  Salem.  In  Dec,  1636,  all  those  in  the  colony,  able  and  liable  to  do 
military  duty,  were  ranked  in  three  regiments,  as  follows : 

1.  The  South  (Suffolk)  Regiment,  of  which  John  Winthrop,  Sen.,  was  Colonel; 

*  Among  those  who  arrived  a  few  years  later,  there  was  probably  a  considerable  number,  who  had  some  skill  and 
experience  in  military  discipline.  It  is  said  that  several  of  them  had  belonged  to  the  Honorable  Artillery  Com- 
pany, of  London. 


1056  APPENDIX   I. 

Thomas  Dudley,  Lieut.  Colonel ;  and  Capt.  John  Underhill,  Muster-master.     It  in- 
cluded the  towns  of  Boston,  Roxbury,  Dorchester,  Weymouth,  and  Hingham. 

2.  The  North  (Middlesex)  Regiment,  of  which  John  Haines,  was  Colonel;  Roger 
Harlakenden,  Lieut.  Colonel;  and  Capt.  Daniel  Patrick,  Muster-master.  It  included 
the  towns  of  Charlestown,  New  Town  (Cambridge),  Watertown,  Concord,  and 
Dedham. 

3.  The  East  (Essex)  Regiment,  of  which  John  Endicott,  was  Colonel ;  John 
Winthrop,  Jr.,  Lieut.  Colonel;  and  Capt.  William  Trask,  Master-muster.  It  included 
the  towns  of  Salem,  Saugus  (Lynn),  Ipswich,  and  Newbury. 

§  192.  At  the  Court  in  the  succeeding  March,  captains,  and  in  some  instances 
lieutenants  and  ensigns,  were  appointed  for  the  trainbands  of  most  of  the  towns. 
But  on  the  same  day  (Mar.  9,  1636-7),  the  Court  appointed  "  Mr.  John  Underbill, 
and  Mr.  Daniel  Patrick,  captains  for  the  country's  service,  for  which  they  are  to  have 
£30  apiece  yearly  out  of  the  treasury,  and  to  be  disposed  by  order  of  the  Council 
of  War."  At  this  time  Capt.  Patrick,  although  belonging  to  Watertown,  and 
holding  the  above-mentioned  appointment,  did  not  continue  to  command  the  Water- 
town  trainband,  to  which  office  Mr.  William  Jennison  was  now  appointed.  The 
next  Nov.  (1637),  Captains  Underhill  and  Patrick  were  by  the  Court  discharged 
from  any  other  service  ["for  the  country"],  and  a  gratuity  of  one  quarter's  pay  was 
made  to  each  of  them.  It  does  not  appear  that  any  successors  were  appointed,  sus- 
taining the  same  relation  to  the  government,  as  they  had  done,  and  their  office  be- 
came obsolete. 

§  193.  Their  duties  seem  to  have  been  to  train  and  prepare  the  people  for  military 
service,  to  hold  themselves  always  in  readiness  for  the  "Orders  of  the  Council  of 
War,"  and,  perhaps,  to  act  as  the  military  advisers  of  the  government.  It  is 
probable  that  experience  in  the  Pequot  war,  had  shown  that  the  tactics  and  disci- 
pline of  a  Prince's  Guard  were  not  the  best  preparation  for  efficient  service  in 
Indian  warfare,  and  that  this  led  to  the  dismission  of  Captains  Patrick  and  Un- 
derhill, and  to  the  abolition  of  their  peculiar  office.  It  is  to  be  observed,  that  at 
this  precise  time  commenced  that  association  of  gentlemen,  as  a  military  company, 
which  was  incorporated  Mar.  13,  1638-9,  and  which,  at  first  sometimes  designated 
as  the  First,  or  the  Great  Artillery  Company,  has  long  been  known  as  The  Ancient 
and  Honorable  Artillery  Company.  As  this  company  was  formed  and  incorporated 
for  "  the  advancement  of  the  military  art,  and  exercise  of  arms,"  it  may  have  been 
regarded  as  a  substitute  for  the  office  and  services  of  Captains  Patrick  and  Underhill, 
and  have  led  to  their  dismission.  In  Nov.,  1637,  at  the  same  time  that  he  was  dis- 
missed from  office,  Patrick  obtained  permission  to  move  to  Ipswich.  He,  however, 
remained  in  Watertown,  as  he  was  elected  selectman  Dec.  30,  1637,  and  the  next 
October  (1638),  he  was  appointed  on  a  committee  for  laying  out  the  farm  lands. 
Soon  after  this,  Captains  Patrick  and  Underhill,  both  moved  to  Connecticut,  and 
Patrick  was  murdered  by  a  Dutchman,  in  Underbill's  house,  at  Stamford,  in  1643. 

§  194.  The  information  respecting  the  early  organization  of  the  Watertown  train- 
band is  very  scanty  and  obscure.  Neither  the  town  nor  colonial  records,  so  far  as 
has  been  discovered,  show  at  what  age  young  men  were  enrolled  in  the  trainbands ; 
but  as  all  above  the  age  of  sixteen  years  were  required  to  take  the  oath  of  fidelity 
[Colonial  Records,  I.  p.  139],  that  was  probably  the  age  when  they  became  liable  to 
military  service.  Nor  was  there  any  legal  limit  of  old  age  which  exempted  from  it. 
In  the  County  Court  records,  there  are  many  instances  where  men  in  advanced  age 
were  exempted  from  military  trainings,  by  the  Court  or  magistrates,  on  account  of 
their  infirmities.  It  will  be  seen  below  that  it  was  not  unusual  for  men  to  receive 
military  appointments,  or  advancement  in  rank,  in  advanced  age,  and  they  seemed 
never  to  arrive  at  too  great  an  age  to  hold  them.  It  is,  however,  not  improbable 
that  some,  who  held  subaltern  offices  in  early  life,  continued  to  bear  the  title  long 
after  they  ceased  to  hold  the  office. 

§  195.  It  appears  from  the  colonial  records,  that  the  soldiers  of  Charlestown  and 
Watertown  were  for  some  time  trained  together;  for,  in  Sept.,  1635,  by  the  Court, 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1057 

it  was  "  agreed  that  Charlestown  and  Watertown  sball  be  distinct  companies,  and  to 
have  officers  of  their  own."     As  Charlestown  and  Watertown  were  not  then  con- 
tiguous, being  separated  by  the  interposition  of  New  Town  [Cambridge],  it  would 
seem  very  unnatural  that  the  two  former  should  be  thus  combined,  and  that  New 
Town  should  have  a  distinct  trainband.     Although  New  Town  is  not  mentioned  in 
that  order  of  the  Court,  we  conjecture  that,  previous  to  that  time,  the  soldiers  of  those 
three  towns  were  trained  together,  and  that,  when  the  order  was  passed  "  that  Charles- 
town and  Watertown  shall  be  two  distinct  companies,"  it  meant  distinct  from  New 
Town.     It  appears  by  an  order  of  Court,  passed  Sept.  3,  1634,  a  year  before  the 
passage  of  the  above-mentioned  order,  that  trainband  companies  sometimes  "con- 
sisted of  two  or  more   towns,"  and  it  is  probable  that,  until  1635,  the  soldiers  of 
Watertown,  New  Town,  and  Charlestown,  constituted  one  company,  and  were  trained 
by  Capt.  Patrick.     It  is  to  be  observed  that,  in  1631,  Mr.  Jennison  was,  by  the 
Court,  chosen  "Ancient  [Ensign]  to  Capt.  Patrick,"  not  for  Watertown;  and  the 
next  year,  after  Capt.  Patrick   moved  temporarily  to  New  Town,  Mr.  Robert  Feake 
was  chosen  "Lieutenant  to  Capt.  Patrick,"  not  for  Watertown;  but  that  after  the 
passage   of  the  order  for  distinct  companies  in  Watertown  and  Charlestown,  such 
appointments  were  made  for  towns  specified.     It  is  also  to  be  observed,  that,  when 
that  order  was  passed,  Charlestown,  Watertown,  and  New  Town,  were   the  only 
towns  then  organized,  which  were  soon  afterwards  embraced  in  the  Middlesex  Regi- 
ment, of  which  Capt.  Patrick  was  Mustermaster;  for  the  date  of  the  order  is  the 
same  as  that  of  the  orders  for  planting  Concord  and  Dedham.     The  colonial  records 
do  not,  I  think,  show  that  any  captain  was  appointed  for  either  Charlestown  or  New 
Town  until  after  the  passage  of  that  order;  and  as  military  officers  were  chosen  by 
the  Court,  it  is  presumable  that  they  would  be  found  on  record,  if  any  such  appoint- 
ments had  been  made.    It  has  been  already  shown  that  Capt.  Patrick  was  not  merely 
a  trainband  captain  appointed  for  Watertown.    The  first  choice  of  trainband  captains, 
for  either  of  those  three  towns,  was  made  Mar.  9,  1636-7,  when  Mr.  Robert  Sedg- 
wick was  chosen  for  Charlestown,  Mr.  William  Jennison  for  Watertown,  and  Mr. 
George  Cooke  for  New  Town.     This  was  about  eighteen  months  after  the  passage  of 
the  order  for  distinct  companies  in  Watertown  and  Charlestown,  and  only  three 
months  after  the  order  for  organizing  all  the  soldiers  of  the  colony  into  three  regi- 
ments.    Perhaps  it  may  be  found  that  the  order  for  distinct  companies  was  not  im- 
mediately carried  iuto  effect,  and  that  Patrick  continued  to  command  the  soldiers  of 
the  three  towns,  until  the  Court  chose  those  three  captains. 

§  196.  After  Captain  Patrick,  the  earliest  military  appointment  by  the  Court  of 
a  Watertown  man  was  Aug.  16,  1631,  when  "Mr.  William  Jennison  is  chosen 
Ancient  [Ensign]  to  Captain  Patrick."  He  retained  this  office  until  Mar.  1636-7, 
when  he  was  chosen  Captain  of  the  trainband,  and  held  the  office  until  his  return  to 
England.  On  the  25th  Sept.,  1636,  soon  after  information  was  received  of  the 
murder  of  Mr.  Oldham,  the  Governor  and  Council  "did  send  forth  ninety  men,  dis- 
tributed to  four  commanders — Capt.  John  Underbill,  Capt.  Nathaniel  Turner,  Ensign 
Jennison,  and  Ensign  Davenport" — in  order  to  "do  justice  upon  the  Indians  for  the 
murder  of  Mr.  Oldham."  [Winthrop,  I.  p.  192.]  George  Munnings,  of  Watertown, 
in  this  expedition,  lost  one  of  his  eyes. 

§  197.  The  next  year  (Ap.  18,  1637),  when  the  Court  determined  that  the  war 
against  the  Pequots  "should  be  seriously  prosecuted,"  and  that  one  hundred  and 
sixty  men  should  be  drafted  out  of  the  several  towns  in  the  colony,  Watertown  was 
at  first  required  to  furnish  fourteen  men.  May  17th,  fifty  additional  men  were 
ordered  to  be  drafted,  and  Capt.  Jennison  was  one  of  the  committee  for  apportioning 
them  among  the  several  towns.  The  quota  of  Watertown  was  four  men.  At  the 
same  time  a  committee  (Capt.  Trask,  Capt.  Jennison,  Capt.  Turner,  Sergt.  Richard 
Collicot)  was  "appointed  for  the  present  expedition  for  men,  munition,  and  provi- 
sions." Also,  at  the  same  time,  Lieut.  Howe  was  ordered  "  to  go  Lieutenant  to 
Capt.  Patrick." 

67 


1058  APPENDIX   I. 

§  f  197.  On  the  4th  of  Sept.,  1632,  Mr.  Robert  Feake  was,  by  the  Court,  chosen 
"  into  the  place  of  Lieutenant  to  Capt.  Patrick."  He  attained  no  higher  rank,  and 
in  March,  1636-7,  was  superseded  by  the  election  of  Capt.  Jennison.  In  Sept., 
1634,  he  was  one  of  the  military  committee  appointed  by  the  Court  to  select  sites 
and  lay  out  the  works  for  fortifications  at  Castle  Island,  Charlestown,  and  Dorchester. 
About  1639  or  '40,  he  went  to  Connecticut  and  was  connected  with  Capt.  Patrick  in 
the  purchase  of  Greenwich.  He  became  impoverished,  returned  to  Watertown,  and 
died  in  indigence.  When  John  Stickland  was  admitted  freeman,  in  May,  1631,  he 
had  the  title  of  Sergeant.  Thomas  Cakebread  had  the  title  of  Ensign,  and  was  an 
original  member  (in  1637)  of  the  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Company,  and 
in  its  records  has  the  title  of  Ensign.  Upon  the  first  settlement  of  Dedham,  "an 
invitation  was  sent  to  Thomas  Cakebread,  a  renowned  soldier  of  Watertown,  to  come 
and  be  at  the  head  of  military  affairs."  [Haven's  Centennial  Address,  p.  12.]  In 
Sept.,  1642,  after  the  return  of  Mr.  B.  Pendleton  from  Sudbury  to  Watertown, 
"Ensign  Cakebread  was  appointed  to  lead  the  company  at  Sudbury  as  Ensign." 
The  records  do  not  show  that  either  Stickland  or  Cakebread  held  offices  in  Water- 
town. 

§  198.  It  is  stated  on  page  402,  that  Mr.  Bryan  Pendleton  was  a  captain  in 
Wfatertown,  and  Farmer  says,  he  was  "a  captain  of  the  militia;"  but  no  evidence 
has  been  discovered  that  he  held  any  military  office,  or  title  in  Watertown.  It  may 
be  supposed  that  he  first  gained  the  title  by  commanding  the  trainband  of  Sudbury 
during  the  short  time  he  resided  there.  But  when  he  was,  by  the  Court,  appointed 
to  that  duty  (May,  1640),  no  military  title  was  given  to  him;  and  it  is  not  probable 
that  he  held  any  higher  title  than  his  successor.  Although  his  name  often  occurs 
in  the  town  and  colonial  records,  no  military  title  is  attached  to  it  until  1657, 
several  years  after  he  moved  from  Watertown  to  Portsmouth.  He  was  a  captain 
there  at  first,  and  afterwards  attained  the  rank  of  major. 

Henry  Bright  was  appointed  surveyor  of  arms  in  Watertown,  and  took  the  oath 
of  office  in  July,  1640.  In  the  town  records  he  had  sometimes,  and,  for  a  long  time 
bore,  the  title  of  sergeant.  He  appears  never  to  have  advanced  beyond  that  title, 
and  he  bore  it  until  1664,  then  aged  62,  after  which  he  bore  the  title  of  Deacon. 
John  Wincoll  was  a  sergeant  in  Watertown,  and  attained  no  higher  title,  until  he  left 
the  town,  about  1662,  when  he  must  have  been  at  least  54  years  old.  After  he  moved 
to  Kittery,  he  was  elected  captain. 

§  199.  In  May,  1645,  the  Court  ordered,  "  that  in  the  entry  of  Watertown  officers, 
[Hugh]  Mason  should  be  put  in  instead  of  [Thomas]  Bartlett,"  who  afterwards,  and 
until  his  decease,  bore  the  title  of  Ensign.  This  appointment  of  Mason  was  made 
about  the  time  Capt.  Jennison  returned  to  England,  and  Mason  probably  commanded 
the  trainband,  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant,  until  May  1652,  when  he  attained  the 
rank  of  captain.  He  probably  held  the  office  until  about  the  time  of  his  decease 
(1678),  then  aged  73,  as  no  other  one  attained  that  rank  in  the  town  until  that 
time. 

§  200.  Pilchard  Beers  is  first  mentioned  as  a  sergeant  in  1642,  when  the  Court 
appointed  him  to  superintend  "the  breeding  of  saltpetre"  in  AVatertowu.  He  at- 
tained the  rank  of  Lieutenant,  soon  after  Mason  was  chosen  Captain.  He  bears  the 
same  title  in  the  town  records  until  1675,  and  he  is  never  mentioned  with  the  title 
of  Captain  until  the  record  of  his  death,  Sept.  4,  1675,  which  was  more  than  38 
years  after  he  had  been  admitted  freeman.  He  was  not  less  than  59  years  of  age, 
and  probably  considerably  older,  when  he  went  on  that  fatal  expedition  against  the 
Indians. 

§  201.  John  Sherman  bore  the  title  of  Sergeant  until  after  the  decease  of  Ensign 
Thomas  Bartlett,  in  1654,  and  after  that,  bore  the  title  of  Ensign  until  after  the 
decease  of  Capt.  Beers,  when  he  attained  the  rank  of  Lieutenant,  and  he  held  this 
rank  until  after  the  decease  of  Captain  Mason.  In  the  town  records,  he  does  not 
bear  the  title  of  Captain,  until  1680,  when  he  was  about  67  years  old.     He  seems  to 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1059 

have  retained  the  office  until  his  decease,  in  1691,  then  aged  76,  as  no  one  else  held 
that  title  until  after  that  event.  He  was  succeeded  in  office  by  William  Bond,  Esq., 
who  had  then  been  a  magistrate  about  five  years.  He  had  borne  the  title  of  Cor- 
poral until  he  was  elected  magistrate  in  1686,  when  he  was  about  61  years  old.  In 
1676,  the  Court  appointed  him  lieutenant  of  a  company  of  horse,  but,  as  he  con- 
tinued to  be  honored  with  the  title  of  corporal  for  ten  years  afterwards,  probably  he 
did  not  accept  the  appointment.  He  had  the  title  of  Lieutenant  in  1689,  and  when 
he  attained  the  rank  of  Captain,  he  was  about  67  years  old.  Thomas  Strait  bore  the 
title  of  Captain  at  an  earlier  date,  but  he  probably  brought  the  title  with  him,  and 
never  held  the  office  in  Watertown. 

§  202.  From  the  preceding  statement,  it  seems  to  have  been  strictly  true  that,  of 
military  officers,  "  few  died  and  none  resigned,"  except  with  life.  A  considerable 
change,  however,  took  place  soon  after  the  decease  of  Capt.  Sherman,  and  military 
titles  became  more  numerous.  This  appears  to  have  resulted  from  two  causes.  In  the 
first  place,  rotation  of  office  was  more  frequent.  In  the  second  place,  there  were 
more  offices  to  be  filled,  there  being  three  military  companies  in  the  town.  About 
1691  or  '92,  the  town  was  divided  into  three  military  precincts.  The  first  was  the 
precinct  of  Capt.  Bond's  Company.  The  second  was  the  precinct  of  Lieut.  Garfield's 
Company — of  those  belonging  to  what  was  sometimes  called  the  middle  precinct, 
now  Waltham.  The  third  was  the  precinct  of  Lieut.  [Josiah]  Jones's  Company,  of 
those  who  belonged  to  the  Farmers'  precinct,  now  Weston.  John  Warren  bore  the 
title  of  Captain  about  1691,  but  of  what  company  the  records  do  not  show.  The 
military  titles  pertaining  to  various  persons  will  generally  be  found  in  the  genea- 
logies, where  they  belong.  So  far  as  appears  in  the  records,  Jonas  Bond,  Esq.,  was 
the  first  Watertown  man  who  attained  the  rank  of  Major  and  of  Colonel. 

§  203.  On  the  files  of  the  Middlesex  Court,  is  the  following  certificate  or  memorial 
of  soldiers,  dated  Ap.  15,  1690.  Most  of  them  belonged  to  Watertown.  "  Being 
listed  in  the  service  of  the  country  against  the  French,  and  ordered  down  to  Charles- 
town,  and  being  denied  quarters  elsewhere,  the  widow  Mary  Peachee  did  entertain 
us."  [Signed]  "  Nathaniel  Barsham,  Lft. ;  Wm.  Davenport,  Sergt. ;  Samuel  Bar- 
nard, Corporal;  Richard  Mellins,  John  Applin,  John  Fisk,  Peter  Mansel,  John 
Smith,  John  Swetin,  Thomas  Stratton,  Henry  Spring,  John  Fay,  Thomas  Willson 
(?  Woolson),  Nathaniel  (?)  Wod,  Solomon  Ray,  George  Stevens  (?  Stearns),  John 
Poney  [Perry  ?],  Josiah  Jones,  Joseph  Garfield,  James  Ball."  Upon  this  certificate, 
there  was  a  motion  to  the  Court  to  renew  her  license. 


CIVIL  AFFAIRS  AND  OFFICERS. 

§  204.  After  the  departure  of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall  to  England,  in  1631,  there 
was  no  Assistant  or  Magistrate,  resident  of  Watertown,  for  more  than  fifty  years. 
All  suits  were  brought  before  the  Court  of  Assistants,  until  Mar.  1636,  when  four 
County  Courts  were  ordered  to  be  held  every  quarter,  to  try  civil  actions,  where  the 
"  debt  or  damage  did  not  exceed  £10,"  and  "  all  criminal  causes,  not  concerning 
life,  murder,  or  banishment."  Although  only  the  Assistants  bore  the  title  of  magis- 
trates, yet  others  were  empowered  to  perform  the  judicial  functions  of  magistrates. 
At  County  Courts,  it  was  required  that  not  less  than  one  magistrate  [Assistant] 
should  be  present,  and  that  not  less  than  five  persons  should  be  on  the  bench ;  and 
for  holding  these  Courts,  the  General  Court  appointed  "  magistrates  and  other  gen- 
tlemen,"— "  other  persons  of  worth  to  be  joined  as  associates  to  the  magistrates."  At 
the  General  Court  in  May,  next  after  passing  the  order  for  county  courts,  the  per- 
sons were  appointed  for  holding  them,  and  Mr.  [Robert]  Feake,  of  Watertown,  was 


1060  APPENDIX    I. 

appointed  for  that  to  be  held  at  New  Town,  for  the  towns  of  Charlestown,  Concord,  Med- 
ford,  Watertown,  and  New  Town.  The  next  year  Mr.  Richard  Browne,  of  Watertown, 
received  the  same  appointment.  These  five  towns  were  the  nucleus  of  the  County  of 
Middlesex.  At  the  same  time  that  Mr.  Feake  and  Mr.  Browne,  of  Watertown,  held 
appointments  as  associates  in  these  courts,  there  were  Commissioners  for  ending 
small  causes  in  Watertown,  showing  that  they  were  not  regarded  as  magistrates. 

§  205.  On  the  6th  of  Sept.,  1638,  the  General  Court,  "for  avoiding  of  the  coun- 
try's charge  by  bringing  small  causes  to  the  Court  of  Assistants,"  ordered,  "  that 
any  magistrate  in  the  town  where  he  dwells,  may  hear  and  determine  by  his  discre- 
tion all  causes,  wherein  the  debt  or  trespass,  or  damage,  &c,  doth  not  exceed  20s. ; 
and  in  such  town,  where  no  magistrate  dwells,  the  General  Court  shall  from  time  to 
time  nominate  three  men,  two  whereof  shall  have  like  power  to  hear  and  determine 
all  such  actions  under  20  shillings."  From  their  decision  there  was  an  appeal  to  a 
Quarter  Court,  a  Court  of  Assistants.  These  men  were  entitled  Commissioners — 
"  Commissioners  for  ending  small  causes."  They  were  invested  with  some  of  the 
functions  of  justices  of  the  peace,  without  the  title. 

§  206.  At  that  time  there  were  four  towns  (Watertown,  Weymouth,  Hinghara, 
and  Newbury),  in  which  no  Assistant  resided,  and  for  each  of  which,  accordingly, 
Commissioners  were  appointed.  Those  for  Watertown  were  "  Mr.  Thomas  Mayhew, 
Capt.  William  Jennison,  and  Mr.  Richard  Browne."  They  were  reappointed  in 
June,  1639,  and  again  in  June,  1641.  In  May,  1643,  "Mr.  Simon  Eyre,  Capt. 
Jennison,  and  Hugh  Mason;  and  John  Sherman  [temporarily]  till  Capt.  Jennison 
come."  In  May,  1645,  Mr.  Richard  Browne,  Lieut.  [Hugh]  Mason,  and  Ephraim 
Child  were  appointed ;  and  this  appears  to  be  the  last  time  that  such  Commissioners 
were  appointed  by  the  General  Court,  who,  in  May,  1647,  ordered  them  thereafter  to 
be  appointed  by  the  County  Courts;  and  in  the  succeeding  November  ordered  them 
"  to  keep  a  true  record  of  all  such  causes  as  shall  come  before  them  to  be  determined." 
In  1652,  they  were  authorized  to  administer  oaths  in  civil  cases;  and  in  1656,  they 
were  authorized  to  solemnize  marriages.  These  and  other  powers  were  taken  from 
them  the  next  year. 

§  207.  Marriage  was  for  a  long  time  regarded  as  a  civil  contract,  and  performed 
only  by  magistrates,  or  by  persons  commissioned  by  the  General  Court  for  that  spe- 
cial service,  in  towns  where   no  magistrate  resided.     [See  §§  58  and  59.] 

§  208.  The  earliest  notice  in  the  records  of  the  County  Court,  of  the  appointment 
of  Commissioners  for  Watertown,  is  in  April,  1650,  where  are  found  the  following 
appointments.  The  earlier  records  of  this  Court  are  lost.  At  a  town  meeting,  Ap. 
4,  1659,  it  was  ordered,  that  the  Commissioners  to  end  small  causes  should  meet  on 
the  first  Monday  in  May,  August,  November,  and  February. 

Ap.  2,  1650.  Mr.  [Richard]  Browne,  Lieut.  [Hugh]  Mason,  Ephraim  Child. 

Ap.  1652.  Lieut.  Mason,  John  Sherman. 

Ap.  1653.  Mr.  R.  Browne,  Capt.  Mason,  John  Sherman. 

Ap.  1654.  Mr.  Browne,  Capt.  Mason,  John  Sherman. 

Ap.  1655.  Mr.  Browne,  Ephraim  Child,  Michael  Barstow. 

Ap.  1656.  Mr.  Browne,  Ephraim  Child,  Michael  Barstow. 

Ap.  1657.  Capt.  Mason,  Ephraim  Child,  Michael  Barstow. 

Ap.  1658.  Capt.  Mason,  Ephraim  Child,  Michael  Barstow. 

Ap.  1659.  Capt.  Mason,  Ephraim  Child,  Michael  Barstow. 

Ap.  1661.  Capt.  Mason,  Ephraim  Child,  Michael  Barstow. 

The  2d  volume  of  the  records  of  the  County  are  lost,  and  therefore,  the  names  of 
the  Commissioners  of  that  period  have  not  been  obtained. 

§  209.  The  first  magistrate  or  justice  of  the  peace  of  Watertown,  of  whom  any 
notice  has  been  found,  subsequent  to  the  departure  of  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall,  was 
William  Bond,  who  was  appointed  as  early  as  1686.  He  died  in  Dec.  1695,  and  was 
probably  succeeded  by  Ebenezer  Prout.  The  next  magistrate  was  Jonathan  Phillips, 
son  of  Rev.  G.  Phillips.     He  died  early  in  1704.     Jonas  Bond,  youngest  son  of 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  1061 

William  Bond,  Esq.,  was  appointed  a  justice  of  the  peace  and  of  the  County  Court 
prior  to  Mar.,  1703,  and  before  the  decease  of  Mr.  Jonathan  Phillips.  He  d.  in 
April,  1727.  The  next  justice  was  Dea.  Joseph  Mason,  who  was  appointed  previ- 
ously to  May,  1734.  He  d.  in  1755.  Nathaniel  Harris  was  appointed  before  Dec, 
1734.  He  d.  in  1761.  Jonas  Bond,  eldest  son  of  Jonas  Bond,  Esq.,  was  commissioned 
by  Governor  Shirley,  Jan.  11 ,  1748,  when  there  were  two  other  justices  in  town.  He 
d.  in  1768.  From  this  period  to  1800,  there  were  several  justices  of  the  peace, 
residents  of  Watertown.  We  have  the  names  of  several,  if  not  all  of  them,  but 
know  not  the  date  or  duration  of  their  appointments,  viz. :  Dr.  Josiah  Converse, 
William  Hunt,  (?)  Henry  Gardner,  (?)  Elijah  Bond,  Jonathan  Brown,  Josiah  Capen, 
Dr.  Marshall  Spring,  Amos  Bond,  Nathaniel  R.  Whitney. 


REPRESENTATIVES  OF  WATERTOWN. 

§  210.  According  to  the  Charter  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Company,  there  were 
to  be  "four  Great  and  General  Courts  of  the  said  Company,"  held  upon  "every  last 
Wednesday  of  Hillary,  Easter,  Trinity,  and  Micha[elma]s."  The  Company,  besides 
the  Governor,  consisted  of  the  Assistants  and  the  Freemen;  that  is,  besides  those 
named  in  the  Charter,  "  all  such  others  as  shall  hereafter  be  admitted  and  made  free 
of  the  Company  and  Society."  These  Courts,  so  constituted  (of  Governor,  Assistants, 
and  Freemen)  had  full  power  and  authority  to  choose,  nominate,  appoint,  and  admit 
others  "  to  be  free  of  the  said  Company ;"  to  elect  and  constitute  officers  for  ordering, 
managing,  and  despatching  the  affairs  of  the  Corporation  ;  "  and  to  make  laws  and 
ordinances  for  the  good  and  welfare  of  the  said  Company."  It  was  also  ordered  by 
the  Charter  that  the  authority,  office,  and  power,  conferred  upon  any  one  by  election, 
"shall  cease  and  determine"  upon  the  election  of  a  successor. 

§  211.  The  principles  and  provisions  of  this  Charter  were  more  liberal  than  its 
administration.  Notwithstanding  such  ample  powers,  both  elective  and  legislative, 
were  granted  to  the  freemen,  who  were  very  numerous  compared  with  the  Governor 
and  Assistants,  they  had,  for  some  time,  very  little  influence  in  the  government.  One 
chief  cause  of  this  was  probably  their  great  number,  occasioning  an  unwieldiness  in 
making  use  of  their  power  and  privileges.  The  Governor  and  Assistants  took  ad- 
vantage of  this,  and,  says  Hutchinson,  "kept  the  powers  of  government,  both  legis- 
lative and  executive,  very  much  in  their  hands  the  first  three  years.  The  people 
began  to  grow  uneasy,  and  the  number  of  freemen  being  greatly  multiplied,  an 
alteration  of  the  constitution  seems  to  have  been  agreed  upon,  or  fallen  into  by  the 
general  consent  of  the  towns;  for,  at  a  General  Court  of  Elections,  in  [May],  1634, 
twenty-four  of  the  principal  inhabitants  appeared  as  the  representatives  of  the  body 
of  freemen,  and,  before  they  proceeded  to  the  election  of  magistrates,  the  people 
asserted  their  right  to  a  greater  share  in  the  government  than  had  hitherto  been 
allowed  them,  and  resolved,  That  none  but  the  General  Court  had  power  to  make 
and  establish  laws,  or  to  elect  and  appoint  officers,  as  governor,  deputy-governor, 
assistants,  treasurer,  secretary,  captains,  lieutenants,  ensigns,  or  any  of  the  like  mo- 
ment, or  to  remove  such  upon  misdeameanor,  or  to  set  out  the  duties  and  powers  of 
these  officers  :  That  none  but  the  General  Court  hath  power  to  raise  monies  and  taxes, 
and  to  dispose  of  lands,  viz.,  to  give  and  confirm  properties." 

§  212.  It  is  remarkable  that  the  colonial  records  contain  no  reference  to  the  origin 
or  introduction  of  a  House  of  Deputies  into  the  government.  The  first  notice  of  them 
is,  that  they  are  there,  without  asking  or  being  invited.  Winthrop,  however,  throws 
some  light  on  the  subject,  but  not  a  full  elucidation,  and  we  are  left  to  conjecture. 
[Winthrop,  I.  p.  128.]     It  is  probable  that  the  concert  of  action  among  the  freemen 


1062 


APPENDIX   I. 


of  the  several  towns  began  with  the  appointment  and  the  meeting  of  committees  of  two 
from  each  of  those  towns  in  1632,  "  to  advise  with  the  Governor  and  Assistants 
about  the  raising  of  public  stores,  so  as  what  they  should  agree  upon  should  bind 
all,"  &c.  Mr.  Savage  asks,  "  Why  the  notice  mentioned  in  the  text  should  be 
given  ?"  It  seems  probable  that  this  was  only  the  usual  notice  required  by  the 
Charter  to  be  issued  by  the  Governor,  summoning  a  meeting  of  the  General  Court. 
On  the  first  of  April,  1634,  six  weeks  before  that  meeting  of  the  General  Court,  at 
which  deputies  first  appear  on  the  record,  the  freemen,  two  from  each  town,  deputed 
to  "  meet  and  consider  of  such  matters  as  they  were  to  take  order  in"  at  the  ensuing 
General  Court,  "having  met,  desired  a  sight  of  the  patent."  This  seems  to  imply 
that  the  Charter  had  hitherto  been  kept  out  of  the  sight  of  the  freemen,  at  least  so 
far  that  they  were  not  fully  acquainted  with  its  provisions.  Having  seen  the  Charter, 
and  having  found  that  it  required  all  the  laws  to  be  enacted  by  the  General  Court, 
they  "  repaired  to  the  Governor  (Winthrop)  to  advise  with  him  about  it."  He  en- 
deavored to  convince  them  that  they  had  not  "  a  sufficient  number  of  men  qualified 
for  such  a  business"  as  legislation,  and  to  induce  them  to  take  such  a  course  as  to 
leave  legislation  to  the  Governor  and  Assistants.  The  result  was  that,  soon  afterwards, 
at  the  ensuing  General  Court,  Mr.  Winthrop,  for  the  first  time,  failed  of  being 
elected  Governor,  and  the  Court  passed  an  order  admitting  the  claims  of  the  deputies 
to  have  "  the  full  power  and  voices  of  all  the  said  freemen,  *  *  *  for  the  making 
and  establishing  laws,  granting  lands,  &c,  and  to  deal  in  all  other  affairs  of  the  com- 
monwealth, wherein  the  freemen  have  to  do,  the  matter  of  election  of  magistrates 
and  other  officers  only  except,  wherein  every  freeman  is  to  give  his  own  vote." 
g@Lt"  For  a  view  of  the  influence  or  agency  which  Watertown  people  had  in  effecting 
this  change  in  the  government :  in  checking  its  aristocratic  tendency;  in  resisting 
taxation  without  representation ;  and  establishing  a  representative  republic,  see 
Winthrop,  I.  pp.  70,  71,  128,  129 ;  also  Richard  Browne,  p.  f  123,  and  §  147-49. 

§  213.  By  the  General  Court,  Sept.  8,  1636,  "it  was  ordered,  that,  hereafter,  no 
town  in  the  plantation,  that  hath  not  10  freemen  in  it,  shall  send  any  deputy  to  the 
General  Court;  those  that  have  above  10  and  under  20,  not  above  one ;  betwixt  20  and 
40,  not  above  two;  and  those  that  have  40,  three,  if  they  will,  but  not  above."  In  Oct., 
1636,  it  was  ordered,  that  each  town  pay  the  charges  of  their  own  deputies ;  but  this 
order  was  reversed  the  next  March,  and  the  order  re-established,  that  their  charges 
be  borne  by  the  country.  On  13th  March,  1638-9,  "it  was  ordered,  that  no  town 
shall  send  more  than  two  deputies  to  the  General  Court."  In  the  course  of  the  next 
ten  years,  the  Court  made  repeated  attempts  to  alter  the  mode  of  the  election  of  de- 
puties, or  to  lessen  their  number,  all  tending  to  diminish  the  influence  of  the  freemen 
in  the  government.  These  attempts  were  resisted,  and  the  record  of  the  Court  for 
March,  1647-8,  says,  "The  most  of  the  freemen  desiring  their  former  liberty  of 
sending  one  or  two  deputies  to  the  General  Courts  from  time  to  time,  the  former 
wonted  liberty  is  continued,  and  the  former  act,  in  suspense,  is  repealed."  This 
desire  of  most  of  the  freemen  was  formally  expressed  by  their  vote  upon  a  proposition 
submitted  to  them  by  the  Court.

§  215.   Selectmen  of  Watertoion.     [See  Sections  f  46-48.] 

By  recurring  to  the  original  records  (pp.  995,  &c),  it  will  be  seen  that  the  select- 
men were  not  at  first  designated  by  that  title.  They  were  those  "  chosen  by  the 
freemen  to  order  the  civil  affairs  of  the  town."  The  first  time  that  title  was  applied 
to  them  was  in  1647,  at  the  commencement  of  the  records,  after  that  hiatus  in  them, 
1643  to  1647.  The  first  board  (1634)  consisted  of  three  members.  The  next  four 
(1635,  '36,  '37,  '38)  consisted  of  eleven  members;  the  next  three  (1639,  '40,  '41) 
of  twelve  members;  the  next  two  (1642,  '43)  of  nine  members.  These  were  chosen 
by  the  freemen,  and  a  recurrence  to  p.  1017  will  show  that  the  number  of  selectmen 
was  large  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  freemen.  The  number  elected  in  1647, 
when   they  are  first  entitled  selectmen  in   the   town  records,   was  seven,  and  this

Constables  were  at  first  elected  by  the  General  Court ;  afterwards  by  the  Quarter 
Courts,  and  as  early  as  1653,  and  probably  earlier,  they  began  to  be  elected  by  the 
towns.     The  following  were  some  of  the  early  appointments  by  the  Courts : 

Oct.  19,  1630,  John  Page  was  chosen  Constable  of  Watertown  for  one  whole  year, 
and  after  till  a  new  [one]  be  chosen. 

May  9,  1632,  Mr.  [William]  Clarke  was  chosen  Constable  of  "Watertown.  [See 
Winthrop,  I.  p.  74.] 

Aug.  5,  1634,  Samuel  Hosier  was  chosen  Constable.  He  was  constable  again  in 
1650. 

1642,  Gregory  Taylor,  Constable,  by  the  Court. 

June  4,  1641,  John  Whitney  was  chosen  Constable  by  the  Quarter  Court.

The  first  volume  of  the  records  of  the  transactions  are  lost,  and  the  earlier  part  of

Sept.  29,  1774,  Col.  Elisha  Jones,  Esq.,  a  tory,  was  superseded  by  the  election  of 
Capt.  Bradyl  Smith,  who,  the  next  year,  had  the  title  of  Colonel.  At  the  same  time, 
Josiah  Smith  and  Samuel  Phillips  Savage  were  appointed  a  committee  to  attend  the 
Provincial  Congress,  to  be  held  on  the  2d  of  October,  and  Capt.  B.  Smith  was  added 
to  it.  At  the  same  meeting  (Sept.  29th),  Benjamin  Peirce,  Dea.  Thomas  Upham, 
and  Samuel  Baldwin,  were  appointed  a  committee  of  correspondence.  Jan.  2,  1775, 
John  Allen,  Israel  Whittemore,  and  William  Whitney,  were  appointed  a  committee 
of  inspection,  to  see  that  the  advice  of  Congress,  relative  to  the  non-importation 
agreement,  be  strictly  adhered  to.  The  records  show  that  Weston  contributed  libe- 
rally of  men  and  money  towards  the  establishment  of  liberty  and  independence.  It 
is  left  to  the  historian  of  Weston  to  present  to  the  public  a  full  account  of  her 
patriotic  services  and  sacrifices.

SCHOOL-HOUSES,  SCHOOLS,  AND  SCHOOLMASTEES. 

§  219.  The  earliest  mention  of  a  school-house  in  the  town  records  is  Sept.  17, 
1649,  when  a  rate  was  ordered  for  building  one,  and,  on  the  2d  of  November,  John 
Sherman  was  appointed  to  build  it,  22  feet  long,  14  feet  wide,  and  9  feet  between 
the  joists.  Dec.  10,  1650,  it  was  ordered  to  add  a  turret  to  the  school-house.  Jan. 
12,  1657-2,  an  order  was  passed  to  pay  John  Sherman  for  "work  about  the  turret," 
and  to  finish  the  school-house.  It  is  supposed  to  have  been  built  on  Strawberry  Hill, 
which  afterwards  bore  the  name  of  School-house  Hill,  and  was  near  John  Sherman's 
residence.  In  1676,  there  was  a  charge  for  repairing  it.  We  find  no  other  mention 
of  the  school-house  in  the  records  until  1696,  when  one  condition  of  Mr.  [Edward] 
Goddard's  consenting  to  keep  school  was,  that  the  school-house  should  be  repaired ; 
and  a  committee  was  appointed  to  make  an  estimate,  and  to  report  thereon.  Feb.  7, 
1708-9,  voted,  to  fix  [up]  the  old  school-house,  if  it  can  be  done  for  10  or  12s. 
Sept.  24, 1711,  voted  to  repair  the  old  school-house,  or  a  part  of  it,  for  a  watch-house, 
according  to  the  Governor's  direction.  A  document,  on  the  files  of  Mid.  Court, 
dated  Dec.  19,  1664,  states  that  Watertown  School-house  was  robbed  of  seventeen 
Greek  and  Latin  books,  by  two  Indians,  one  of  whom  was  a  servant  of  Mr.  Bisco. 

§  220.  At  a  town  meeting,  Jan.  31,  1708-9,  a  committee  (B.  Garfield  and  C. 
Church)  reported  that  they  had  received  [selected]  a  place,  near  Phillips's  Fence, 
upon  the  town's  land,  leading  to  Whitney's  Hill,  near  the  Middle  [Mr.  Angier's] 
Meeting-house,  and  as  near  the  Causeway,  as  may  be  convenient  for  a  school-house. 
At  the  same  time,  it  was  voted  to  build  a  school-house,  within  twenty  rods  of  the 
meeting-house,  25  feet  by  20,  and  6J  feet  between  joynts.  Oct.  8,  1711,  the  se- 
lectmen ordered  the  "studdey"  in  the  school-house  to  be  completely  finished  at 
the  town's  cost. 

§  221.  The  first  notice  of  a  schoolmaster  in  the  records  is  Nov.  7,  1649,  when  the 
selectmen  ordered  that  *David  Mecliell  [Mitchell],  of  Stamford,  Conn.,  be  certified 
of  the  town's  desire  for  him  to  keep  school.  Whether  he  accepted  does  not  appear 
from  the  records.  It  is  not  to  be  certainly  inferred  from  this  that  there  were  no 
schools  before  this  time.  There  are  no  town  records  extant  of  the  first  four  years 
(1630-34),  and  those  for  the  next  nine  years  (1634-43)  are  little  more  than  general 
ordinances.  The  records  for  the  next  four  years  (1643-47)  are  wanting.  A  school 
might  have  been  kept  in  private  houses  and  in  the  meeting-house,  as  was  often  done 
afterwards.  Jan.  6,  1650-1,  Richard  Norcross  was  hired  for  one  year  for  £30,  and 
was  allowed  2s.  a  head  for  keeping  the  dryherd.     He  is  the  only  schoolmaster  men- 

*  He  was  a  brother  of  Rev.  Jonathan  Mitchell,  who  was  ordained  in  Cambridge  a  few  months  after  the  above 
date,  and  of  Sarah,  wife  of  Samuel  Sherman,  Esq.  [See  p.  934.]  They  were  children  of  Matthew  Mitchell,  who 
embarked  at  Bristol  in  May,  and  arrived  at  Boston,  Aug.  IT,  1635.  He  went  to  Concord  with  the  first  settlers, 
and  the  next  year  (1636)  moved  to  Saybrook,  where  one  of  his  sons  was  captured  and  burnt  by  the  Pequots.  Soon 
after  this  he  settled  in  Wethersfield,  where  he  received,  in  1G40,  the  largest  grant  in  the  Naubuc  Farms  of  any  except 
that  of  Clement  Chaplin.  He  was  one  of  the  original  purchasers  of  Stamford  (Kippowams),  and  moved  there  about 
1641.  (For  the  numerous  descendants  of  David  Mitchell,  see  Cothren,  pp.  633,  34,  &c.  Also,  for  the  numerous 
descendants  ofSarah  (Mitchell)  Sherman,  see,  in  the  same  work,  pp.  682,  &c.) 


1070  APPENDIX   I. 

tioned  until  1675.  His  salary  had  continued  the  same.  In  1667,  it  is  stated  that 
the  school  was  to  be  free  to  the  inhabitants;  others  (not  inhabitants)  to  pay  as  before, 
and  their  pay  to  go  towards  his  salary  of  £30. 

§  222.  Feb.  23,  1674-5,  a  committee  (Capt.  Mason  and  Simon  Stone)  was  ap- 
pointed to  treat  with  Mr.  [  William]  Goddard  to  keep  school,  and  he  was  employed 
at  a  salary  of  £30,  to  begin  Ap.  5,  1675.  [See  Certificate,  p.  287.]  Mar.  27,  1677, 
agreed  with  Left.  Sherman  to  keep  school,  to  begin  Ap.  9th.  From  May  1  to 
Aug.  31,  to  keep  eight  hours  in  the  day;  to  begin  at  seven  in  the  morning  and  not 
to  break  up  until  five  at  night,  noontime  excepted.  From  Aug.  30  to  Oct.  31st,  six 
hours  in  the  day.  In  March  and  April,  and  the  four  winter  months,  to  begin  at  ten 
and  continue  until  two. 

§  223.  Jan.  7,  1678-9,  the  selectmen  notified  Left.  Sherman  and  Mr  Goddard, 
giving  them  one-fourth  year  notice,  that  they  had  chosen  another  man  to  keep  school, 
when  their  year  was  out,  viz.,  Richard  Nbrcross,  from  Ap.  9,  1679.  In  June,  July, 
and  August,  he  was  to  teach  only  Latin  and  writing  at  his  own  house ;  the  other 
eight  months  Latin  and  English  scholars  at  the  school-house;  to  have  £20  out  of  the 
town  rates  for  1679  (and  probably  what  he  could  obtain  from  tuition  as  before).  It 
was  soon  after  determined  to  have  the  school  kept  the  whole  year  at  the  school-house, 
and  to  add  £5  to  his  salary.  Ap.  8,  1679,  Lieut.  Sherman  refused  to  give  up  the 
key  of  the  school-house  to  those  sent  to  demand  it.  Dec.  1,  1679,  voted  that  Mr. 
Goddard  shall  have  £5  for  schooling  from  April  last  to  April  next.  Dec.  30,  1679, 
the  town  voted  that  Lieut.  Sherman  is  to  keep  school  as  formerly.  It  appears  that 
Lieut.  Sherman's  was  not  a  grammar  school,  and  the  County  Court,  Dec,  1680, 
ordered  Watertown  to  provide  a  grammar  school.  A  committee  was  appointed,  Ap. 
1681,  to  provide  a  master  to  teach  Latin  and  English,  and  Richard  Norcross  was 
chosen,  Aug.  3,  1681,  to  begin  when  "the  Captain's"  [Sherman]  time  is  out  next 
April.  Salary  £25,  and  the  benefit  of  Latin  scholars  over  and  above.  Mr.  Norcross 
was  again  employed  in  1682  and  1683.  He  was  to  be  paid  for  scholars  not  of  the 
town,  and  if  the  [number]  be  large,  the  town  to  have  places  provided  for  the  boys 
in  the  meeting-house. 

§  224.  In  1683,  it  was  agreed  that  those  who  dwell  on  the  west  side  of  Stony 
Brook  (Weston)  be  freed  from  school  tax  of  1683,  that  they  may  be  the  better  able 
to  teach  among  themselves.  Mr.  Norcross  was  employed  in  1685  and  1686.  Those 
that  send  children  to  school  to  pay  3d.  a  week  for  each,  and  all  short  of  £20  the 
town  to  make  up  to  Mr.  Norcross.  But  the  town  will  pay  for  such  children  as  their 
parents  are  unable  to  pay  for,  the  selectmen  being  judges.  Nov.  26,  1690,  the  town 
allowed  £15  for  the  schoolmaster's  maintenance.  About  this  period  repeated  com- 
plaints were  made  to  the  County  Court  of  the  deficiency  of  schools  in  Watertown. 

§  225.  Dec.  12, 1690,  Nathaniel  Stone  [Stone,  19.]  was  chosen  schoolmaster,  and  the 
committee  reported,  Jan.  9,  1690-1,  that  he  had  accepted,  twenty  persons  having 
engaged  to  pay,  or  see  him  paid,  50s.  a  quarter,  in  addition  to  the  £15  granted  by 
the  town.  Nov.  27, 1693,  the  selectmen  made  the  following  agreement  with  Richard 
Norcross :  to  teach  school  one  year  from  next  Dec.  4th ;  to  be  paid  by  the  parents, 
for  English,  3d.  a  week ;  for  writing,  4d.  a  week  ;  for  Latin,  Qd.  a  week  ;  school  to  be 
kept  at  his  house  until  Ap.  1st;  then,  upon  a  month's  trial  at  the  school-house,  [if] 
there  appear  [not]  a  considerable  quantity  of  scholars,  then  he  hath  liberty  to  keep 
all  the  year  at  his  house,  and  the  town  to  pay  him  additional  £5.  But,  if  he  have 
none  but  Latin  scholars,  then  to  allow  out  of  his  £5  what  such  Latin  scholars'  pro- 
portion cometh  to.  If  he  find  scholars  to  increase,  to  keep  school  at  the  school-house 
from  Ap.  1  to  Oct.  1st,  and  the  remainder  of  the  year  at  his  own  house.  Also,  to 
catechize  scholars  and  all  other  persons  that  are  sent  to  him.  June,  1696,  the  select- 
men applied  to  Edward,  Goddard  to  teach  school,  to  whom  he  replied,  that  if  they 
would  repair  the  school-house  and  give  him  £20  he  would  come ;  but  the  town  did 
not  accept  the  terms,  and  the  town  was  fined  for  not  having  a  school. 

§  226.   Feb.  15,  1696-7.  The  town  refused  to  have  a  grammar  school,  and  ap- 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1071 

pointed  a  committee  to  estimate  the  repairs  of  the  school-house.  Two  of  them 
reported  that  it  would  cost  £3  or  £4  to  finish  it  well ;  the  others  reported  that  30s. 
or  40s.  would  make  it  sufficient  for  use  at  present,  and  40s.  was  granted.  Feb.  26, 
the  town  voted  money  for  a  school ;  and,  Mar.  29,  they  voted  £10  and  certain  privi- 
leges, if  Edward  Goddard  would  keep  school.  Whether  he  then  accepted  does  not 
appear  in  the  records.  Aug.  15,  1699,  Edward  Goddard  agreed  to  keep  the  grammar 
school.  May  24,  1700,  voted,  if  Mr.  Goddard  will  keep  school  the  year  ensuing, 
to  grant  him  the  remainder  of  the  £10,  granted  for  keeping  school  from  Aug.  15, 
1699,  and  £10  more  for  the  year  ensuing,  and  the  rates  from  the  "parents  and 
owners  of  children." 

§  227.  June  3,  1700,  [Rev.]  Mr.  Samuel  Parris  agreed  to  keep  school  at  his 
place  of  abode  till  some  other  is  chosen.  Sept.  3-,  1700,  Mr.  Norcross  was  chosen  to 
keep  school  for  £10,  and  the  usual  rates  from  parents,  and  they  to  send  one  quarter 
cord  of  wood  in  the  winter.  At  this  time  Mr.  Norcross  had  been  a  schoolmaster 
forty-nine  years,  and  was  seventy-nine  years  old.  Nov.  21,  1700,  voted  to  keep  the 
school  the  first  and  third  quarters  at  the  old  school-house,  and  the  second  and  fourth 
quarters  in  the  middle  of  the  town,  and  that  the  Farmers'  Precinct,  by  paying  £20, 
be  freed  from  any  other  school  charges  this  year.  Also  agreed  with  Ames  Angier 
[grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1701]  to  keep  school  from  Dec.  8;  to  have  £30  in  money,  and 
those  that  send  children  to  send  one-fourth  cord  of  wood.  Mar.  2,  1701-2,  agreed 
that  the  grammar  school  should  be  kept  the  second  quarter  at  the  house  where  old 
Father  Ives  formerly  lived.  Jan.  1,  1702-3,  Ames  Angier  agreed  to  teach  school  half 
a  year  and  no  longer,  to  begin  Jan.  25th.  Ap.  23,  1704,  Nathaniel  Gookin  [grad. 
Harv.  Coll.,  1703],  agreed  to  keep  school  half  a  year,  seven  hours  a  day,  for  £15. 
Ap.  3,  1705,  voted  £30  for  schools :  £10  to  be  equally  divided  between  the  farmers 
and  the  westerly  inhabitants,  if  it  be  improved  for  schooling ;  if  not,  to  be  for  the  use 
of  the  poor.  Ap.  13,  1704,  engaged  Nathaniel  Gookin  to  teach  four  months.  May 
10,  1706,  the  town  "desired  Rev.  Joseph  Morse  to  keep  school,  and  be  helpful  to  the 
minister,  for  £40,  and  Ad.  per  week  for  all  who  send  their  children,"  which  he  ac- 
cepted conditionally.  [See  p.  374.]  Dec.  13,  1706,  school  to  be  kept  at  Joshua 
Bigelow's  house,  west  side  of  Beaver  Brook,  the  next  quarter. 

§  228.  Jan.  22,  1707-8.  Thomas  Rohie  [grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1708]  engaged  to 
keep  school  half  a  year  for  £15,  to  begin  1st  of  March.  1st  qr.,  seven  hours;  2d 
qr.,  eight  hours.  Jan.  14,  1708-9.  Benjamin  Shattuck  [grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1709] 
engaged  to  keep  school,  from  Jan.  17th,  half  a  year,  for  £15.  He  continued  to 
teach  in  1709,  '10,  '11,  '12,  '13,  and  '14.  Nov.  30,  1714.  Selectmen  voted  Urian 
Angier  to  be  the  schoolmaster,  if  the  town  approve,  and  town  accepted,  if  he  be 
found  qualified.  Nov.  20,  1714,  at  a  meeting  of  selectmen,  a  committee  reported 
"  that  they  have  been  with  the  President  of  the  College,  and  he  informs  them  they 
cannot  have  any  there  that  will  keep  school."  Mar.  25,  1715.  Selectmen  agreed  to 
pay  Mr.  Robert  Ward  [grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1719]  £18,  if  he  will  keep  school  half  a 
year  ensuing.  He  was  teacher  again  in  1716.  May  10,  1717.  Mr.  Ward  agrees  to 
teach  for  £4,  additional  salary,  and  his  year  began  May  11.  May  19,  1718.  Benj. 
Fessenden  [grad.  Harv.  Coll.,  1718]  treated  with  to  keep  school  one  qr.  for  £10. 
Ap.  6,  1719,  Voted  £22  for  Benj.  Fessenden,  and  in  1720,  '21,  and  '22.  July  22, 
1722,  he  was  called  to  the  ministry.  Dec.  28,  1722.  Ordered  £12  for  Matthew

WATCHES. 


§  229.  At  a  Court  of  Assistants,  Ap.  12,  1631,  "it  was  ordered,  that  there  shall 
he  a  watch  of  four  kept  every  night  at  Dorchester,  and  another  of  four  at  Watertown, 
the  watches  to  begin  at  sunset,"  and  "  if  any  person  shall  shoot  off  a  piece,  after  the 
watch  is  set,  he  shall  forfeit  40s.,  or  if  the  Court  judge  him  unable  [to  pay],  then  to 
be  whipped;  the  second  fault  to  be  punished  by  the  Court  as  an  offence  of  a  higher 
nature."  It  appears,  by  Winthrop  [I.,  p.  74],  that  the  ordering  of  the  watch  be- 
longed to  the  Captain  in  the  town  where  he  resided,  but  where  there  was  not  a 
Captain  resident,  the  duty  devolved  on  the  Constable.  At  the  first  meeting  held  by 
the  General  Court,  after  the  introduction  of  a  House  of  Deputies  (May,  1634),  it 
was  "  Ordered,  that  there  shall  be  a  watch  of  two  at  night  kept  in  every  plantation, 
till  the  next  General  Court."  Mar.  9,  1636-7,  it  was,  by  the  Court,  "Ordered, 
that  the  military  officers  in  every  town  shall  provide  that  tcatches  be  duly  kept  most 
fit  for  common  safety,  and  wards  on  the  Lord's  days;  and  that  every  person  above 
the  age  of  eighteen  years  (except  magistrates  and  elders  of  churches)  shall  be  com- 
pellable to  this  service."  At  the  same  time  it  was  ordered  that  "  every  town  shall 
provide  a  sufficient  watch-house  before  the  last  of  5th  month  next,  upon  pain  of  £5." 
This  order,  about  watches  and  wards,  on  the  2d  May,  1638,  was  renewed  and  con- 
firmed, for  continuance  from  year  to  year.  In  May,  1640,  it  was  ordered  that  "  the 
ordinary  watches  and  wards,  in  time  of  peace,  shall  be  set  by  the  constables  in  the 
several  towns ;  but,  in  times  of  great  danger  of  an  enemy,  the  military  officers  shall 
take  charge  thereof."  At  a  town  meeting,  Ap.  27,  1681,  the  military  watches  were 
turned  into  constable's  watches,  "until  God's  providence  doe  discover  more  eminent 
danger;"  the  night-watches,  by  the  constables,  to  begin  May  1st.  The  next  month, 
June  11th,  it  was  agreed  that  watches  cease  for  the  present. 

§  230.  The  information  in  the  records  respectiug  the  watches  in  Watertown  are 
very  scanty.  The  meeting-house  was  sometimes  used  as  the  watch-house,  which  was 
also  the  depository  of  the  ammunition  of  the  town.  In  1711,  the  old  school-house, 
on  School-house  Hill,  was  ordered  to  be  repaired  for  a  watch-house. 

§  231.  The  homestall  of  John  Wetherill  was  described  as  "  bounded,  W.,  with  the 
toivnhouse  and  the  [Pequusset]  Common."  Whether  this  was  a  watch-house,  or 
what  was  its  use,  the  records  do  not  show.  In  the  same  neighborhood,  at  an  early 
date,  there  was  a  wolf-pen,  with  a  palisade  about  it.  Perhaps  the  "town-house" 
was  for  the  accommodation  of  a  herdsman,  who  had  the  care  of  the  cattle  that  were 
fed  in  common,  on  Pequusset  Common,  and  the  wolf-pen  may  have  been  used  for 
enclosing  the  cattle  at  night  against  the  attack  of  wolves.  Jan.  10,  1647-8,  the 
town  voted  "  to  give  John  Wetherill  the  palisade  that  enclosed  the  wolf-pen."  •  By 
this  time  much  of  Pequusset  Common  had  been  divided  into  lots,  and  perhaps  it  had 
so  nearly  ceased  to  be  used  as  a  cow-common  that  the  wolf-pen  was  useless.  Soon 
after  this  the  cow-pen  was  provided  on  the  west  border  of  the  town.   [See  Section  156.] 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1073 

§  232.  Fairs.  By  the  Court,  Sept.  6,  1638,  it  was  "Ordered,  that  there  shall  be 
two  fairs  at  Watertown,  the  one  on  the  first  Friday  of  4th  month  (June),  the  other 
on  the  first  Friday  of  7th  month  (September)."  At  a  town  meeting,  Mar.  30,  1639, 
it  was  ordered,  that  these  "  two  Fairs  at  Watertown  *  *  *  *  shall  be  kept  upon  the 
Trayning-place."  Fairs  were,  at  that  time,  ordered  to  be  held  only  in  Salem,  Water- 
town,  and  Dorchester.  As  there  is  no  further  notice  of  them  in  the  colonial  or  town 
records,  they  probably  soon  fell  into  disuse. 


SALARIES,  WAGES,  VALUATION,  &c. 

§  233.  A  perusal  of  the  copy  of  the  original  records  of  the  town,  inserted  in  the 
preceding  pages  [pp.  995,  &c],  will  show  that  there  are  very  few  notices  of  salaries 
or  wages  in  them, — no  mention  of  the  Pastors'  salaries  until  Dec,  1642,  when  the 
salary  of  Mr.  Phillips  was  £67  13  4,  and  that  of  Mr.  Knowles  £40.  The  second 
levy,  made  by  the  Governor  and  Assistants,  Nov.  1630,  upon  the  several  towns  about 
the  Bay  (exclusive  of  Dorchester)  was  £60,  for  the  two  ministers,  Mr.  Phillips  and 
Mr.  Wilson,  one-half  of  which  was  for  Mr.  Phillips.  This  was  probably  for  half  a 
year.  There  are  numerous  penalties  specified  in  the  records  for  trespasses  and  viola- 
tions of  orders,  and,  in  a  few  instances,  fees  or  compensation  for  services.  In  1638, 
the  reward  for  killing  a  wolf  was  5s.;  in  1648,  Is.  for  killing  a  fox;  and,  in  1668, 
for  killing  blackbirds,  3c?.  per  dozen.  In  1640,  the  fee  for  executing  a  town  order 
was  Is.;  and  4(7.  upon  the  acre  was  allowed  to  the  town  surveyor  "for  surveying, 
plotting,  and  staking  the  lots  upon  the  two  plains,  and  the  remote  meadows."  [See 
Sections  91-99.]  The  next  mention  of  the  Pastors'  salaries  was  Jan.  33,  1647-8, 
when  £120  was  granted  to  Pastor  Knowles  and  Pastor  Sherman.  This  was  very 
soon  after  the  return  of  Mr.  Sherman  from  Milford,  and  probably  this  sum  was 
equally  divided  between  them.  This  seems  to  have  been  the  sum  granted  to  the 
ministers  for  several  years,  and  after  the  departure  of  Mr.  Knowles,  the  whole  sum 
was  granted  annually  to  Mr.  Sherman.  The  "rate  for  the  ministry"  was  usually  a 
larger  sum,  as  there  might  be  some  failures  of  payment,  and  the  expenses  of  making 
and  collecting  it.  In  1659  and  1660,  £150  was  allowed  Mr.  Sherman,  and  the  next 
year  the  "ministers'  rate"  was  the  same  sum,  and  in  1661  it  was  £160.  From  this 
date,  until  his  decease  in  1685,  his  salary  was  £140.  This  was  a  very  liberal  sup- 
port for  that  day;  but  Mather  says  he  had  twenty-one  children.  After  the  settle- 
ment of  Mr.  John  Bailey  and  his  brother  Thomas,  the  same  sum  was  divided  be- 
tween them,  viz.,  £80  to  John  and  £60  to  Thomas,  with  allowance  for  houseroom 
and  firewood.  After  the  organization  of  the  two  churches,  and  the  settlement  of  Mr. 
Angier  and  Mr.  Gibbs,  £168  was  annually  divided  equally  between  them,  and  after  the 
settlement  of  Mr.  Warham  Williams  and  Mr.  Storer,  they  each  received  the  same  sala- 
ries. It  was  the  usual  custom  to  allow  the  minister  firewood  in  addition  to  his  salary. 
Sometimes  this  was  deducted  from  the  salary,  and  sometimes  the  minister  was 
required  to  take  a  large  part  of  his  salary  in  provisions,  "  town  pay,"  at  the  rates  fixed 
by  the  town  prizer,  or  at  the  Court  price.  The  first  time  that  the  term  salary  occurs 
in  the  records  was  in  1680,  and  then  Mr.  Sherman  was  to  have  one-fifth  Q)  of  it  in 
money.  In  1687  the  prices  of  "towns  pay"  for  paying  rates  was,  rye,  4s.;  Indian 
corn,  3s.;  and  oats,  2s.  In  Jan.,  1691-2,  the  prices  were,  rye  and  barley,  4s.;  In- 
dian corn,  3s.;  and  oats,  2s.  In  Feb.,  1692-3,  rye,  5s.,  barley,  and  barley  malt,  and 
Indian  corn,  4s., — 2s.  in  money  to  be  taken  as  3s.  in  grain.  In  1697,  oak  wood  was 
7s.,  and  walnut  8s.,  per  cord.  In  repairing  or  rebuilding  the  mill-bridge,  in  1706, 
carpenters,  working  in  the  water,  were  allowed  3s.  per  day,  laborers  on  the  land,  2s. 
Qd.,  and  teams  5s.  per  day. 

§  234.  The  earliest  mention  of  the  pay  of  a  schoolmaster  was  Jan.  6,  1650-1, 
when  £30  was  voted  for  Mr.  Bichard  Norcross;  and  this  continued  to  be  the  salary, 
with  little  variation,  except  as  to  manner  of  paying  it,  for  about  seventy-five 
years,  with  a  few  exceptions,  about  1715  or  '20,  when  it  was  £36.     In  some  cases

tuition  was  to  be  paid  for  certain  studies  and  certain  scholars;  and  whatever  was  ob- 
tained in  this  manner  was  deducted  from  the  sum  the  master  was  to  receive  from 
the  town.  ' 

§  235.  On  page  999  may  be  seen  the  valuation  which  was  fixed,  in  1642,  upon 
the  several  kinds  of  lands  and  cattle  for  the  purpose  of  taxation.  In  1648,  broken- 
up  land  was  rated  at  20s. ;  very  bad  [broken-up  land],  15s. ;  unbroken,  10s. ;  meadow, 
20s.  It  is  remarkable  that,  in  no  appraisal  or  valuation  for  the  purpose  of  assess- 
ments, do  we  find  any  mention  of  marsh  lands,  although,  according  to  inventories, 
they  were  deemed  to  be  from  three  to  fivefold  more  valuable  than  any  other  lands. 
The  following  are  the  "invoices"  of  the  town,  at  several  dates,  for  the  purpose  of 
making  assessments,  with  the  number  of  "  heads  "  (taxable  persons)  : 

Aug.  30,  1658,  £7298, 
Sept.  6,    1664,     7572, 
Aug.  81,  1669,     6505,     , 
Sept.,       1678,     6691,     . 

§  236.  In  a  levy  of  a  tax  of  £30,000  upon  the  colony,  in  Nov.  1693  (after  the 
union  of  the  colonies  of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  Bay),  the  share  of  Watertown 
was  £224  16  6,  being  about  l-120th  part  of  it.  In  Mar.,  1694-5,  a  tax  of  4d.  in  the 
pound  was  levied  for  building  the  new  meeting-house,  and  amounted  to  £320  4s., 
which  shows  the  total  valuation  or  invoice  to  have  been  £19,212.  This  was  little 
more  than  a  year  after  the  preceding  levy  upon  the  whole  colony,  and  it  shows  the  whole 
taxable  property  in  the  colony  (of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  Bay)  to  have  been  at 
that  time  about  £2,305,500.

PHYSICIANS. 

§  237.  The  information  respecting  the  physicians  of  Watertown  in  early  times, 
during  the  first  hundred  years,  is  very  scanty,  and  their  number  very  few.  We  have 
not  discovered  that  any  of  the  pastors  of  Watertown  practised  the  healing  art,  which 
was  not  unusual  in  early  times.  James  Sherman,  of  Sudbury,  son  of  Rev.  John 
Sherman,  of  Watertown,  was  a  pastor  and  a  physician,  and  two  of  his  sons,  John 
and  Thomas,  were  physicians,  and  were  said  to  be  some  time  of  Watertown;  but  in 
1708  they  resided  in  Springfield. 

The  earliest  notice  of  any  medical  practice  was  Mar.,  1630-1,  when  "  Nicholas 
Knapp  was  (by  the  Court)  fined  £5,  for  taking  upon  him  to  cure  the  scurvy  by  a 
water  of  no  value,  which  he  sold  at  a  very  dea"r  rate."  Probably  his  only  medical 
education  had  been,  like  that  of  his  numerous  followers,  to  study  the  credulity  of 
human  nature,  and  how  he  might  most  successfully  dupe  it.  Mr.  Simon  Eire,  "  cki- 
rurgeon,"  was  the  first  physician  of  Watertown,  where  he  resided  about  10  years — 
1635  to  1645 — when  he  moved  to  Boston.  As  there  is  no  evidence  that  there  was 
any  other  physician  resident  of  Watertown  for  many  years  afterwards,  it  is  not  im- 
probable that  he  sometimes  visited  it  professionally,  as  be  retained  his  estate  there. 
But  if  there  were  no  physicians,  their  place  was  supplied  by  some  of  the  goodwives. 
Grace,  wife  of  John  Livermore,  was  an  obstetrician,  and  she  was  sometimes  sum- 
moned to  Court,  as  a  witness  in  cases,  where  she  had  acted  professionally.  In  the 
County  Court  files  is  a  petition  of  the  Selectmen  of  Watertown,  dated  1690,  in 
which  they  say  that  S.  G-.  came  from  Cambridge  to  Watertown  "  to  the  house  of 
Ellis  Barron,  whose  wife  had  skill  in  matters  of  surgery."  The  next  physician  after 
Dr.  Eire  was  Dr.  Philip  Shattuck,  who  probably  practised  there  from  about  1670 
to  1722.  He  resided  in  the  northeast  part  of  Waltham.  Dr.  Palgrave  Wellington 
was  his  cotemporary,  being  only  five  years  younger  than  Dr.  Shattuck.  He  resided 
on  the  Cambridge  Iload,  on  or  near  the  lots  of  G.  Church  and  W.  Woolcot.  He  d. 
1715.  Dr.  Richard  Hooper  was  a  cotemporary  of  Doctors  Shattuck  and  Wellington, 
and  resided  at  the  east  of  Mount  Auburn.     He  died  early  in  1690.     His  son  Henri/ 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  1075 

was  a  physician  of  "Watertown  a  few  years,  and  about  1723  he  moved  to  Newport, 
R.  I.  Dr.  Josiali  Converse,  from  Woburn,  settled  in  Watertown,  probably  about 
the  time  of  the  decease  of  Dr.  Shattuck,  and  the  removal  of  Dr.  H.  Hooper.  We 
have  not  ascertained  where  he  resided,  but  perhaps  it  was  the  residence  afterwards 
occupied  by  his  nephew,  pupil,  legatee,  and  executor,  Dr.  Marshall  Spring.  He  died 
in  1774,  after  a  residence  of  probably  nearly  50  years.  See  Spring  [60],  p.  444,  and 
Bond  [323],  p.  62. 


LAWYERS. 

§  238.  There  'was  no  lawyer,  resident  of  Watertown,  for  the  first  120  or  130 
years  after  its  settlement,  and  our  information  respecting  those  of  later  times  is  too 
scanty  to  be  inserted  here,  if  we  were  attempting  a  history  of  such  times. 


INNKEEPERS  AND  LICENSED  RETAILERS  AND  TRADERS. 

§  239.  Innkeepers  were  licensed  by  the  General  Court  or  Courts  of  Assistants 
until  the  organization  of  County  Courts,  and  they  were  sometimes  appointed  or 
nominated  by  the  selectmen.  The  following  list  is  undoubtedly  defective.  The 
locality  of  many  inns  in  the  following  list  has  not  been  ascertained. 

Sept.,  1635.  The  Court  licensed  John  Masters  to  keep  an  ordinary,  and  he  was 
discharged,  June  4,  1639,  a  few  months  before  he  died.  He  had  probably  moved 
to  Cambridge  previous  to  the  date  of  his  license,  but  the  record  does  not  show  it. 

June  6,  1637.  By  the  Court,  George  "Mannings  is  fined  20s.  for  selling  beer  and 
keeping  a  house  of  entertainment  without  license."  This  was  about  sis  months  after 
he  returned  from  the  expedition  to  Block  Island  with  the  loss  of  an  eye.  The  next 
November,  "Munnings,  of  Watertown,  is  (by  the  Court)  put  down  from  keeping  an 
ordinary,  or  house  of  entertainment;  and  it  is  referred  to  Watertown  to  choose 
another."     [See  p.  859.] 

Mar.  12,  1637-8.  John  Loveran  [Loverill  in  the  Court  Record]  is,  by  the  Court, 
"allowed  to  sell  wine  and  strong  water"  at  Watertown.  His  homestall  was  a  little 
distance  east  of  the  Bridge,  extending  from  Mount  Auburn  Street  to  the  river. 

June  1,  1641.  William  Knapp,  for  selling  beer  two  years  unlicensed,  was  fined  <£5. 
He  resided  on  the  S.  side  of  Belmont  Street,  W.  of  the  graveyard. 

Nov.  4,  1646.  " Mrs.  Margaret  Hoice  [wid.  of  Edward]  and  Nathaniel  Trcadicay 
[her  son-in-law]  are  granted  liberty  to  draw  two  butts  of  wine,  which  they  received 
for  debt,  and  cannot  put  off  in  the  butts."     [See  the  Map.] 

Nov.  2,  1649.  Thomas  Wincoll  was,  by  the  selectmen,  allowed  to  keep  a  house  of 
entertainment. 

Oct.  1654.  Lieut  Richard  Beers,  upon  the  recommendation  of  several  freemen  of 
Watertown,  was  licensed  by  the  County  Court  to  keep  an  ordinary.  His  license 
was  repeatedly  renewed,  and  probably  continued  until  his  decease  in  1675.  His 
homestall,  in  1644,  bordered  on  the  S.  W.  shore  of  Fresh  Pond.  Previous  to  1644, 
he  had  purchased  another  homestall  on  the  south  side  of  Mount  Auburn  Street,  not 
far  west  of  the  old  graveyard. 

0O"*  The  County  Court  Records,  from  Oct.,  1663,  to  Ap.,  1681,  are  lost,  or  were 
not  discoverable  at  the  time  our  researches  were  made,  and  it  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained what  licenses  were  granted  during  that  time. 

John  Nevinson,  licensed,  in  1685,  to  keep  an  ordinary,  and  until  his  decease,  Jan., 
1695.  He  was  succeeded  by  his  son-in-law,  Samuel  Hastings,  for  a  short  time.  Mr. 
Nevinson's  widow,  after  the  decease  of  her  second  husband,  with  whom  she  lived  only 
a  few  months,  obtained  a  license  in  1698,  and  continued  to  keep  an  ordinary  until 
1717;  probably  in  the  neighborhood  of  Mount  Auburn. 

Caleb  Church,  licensed  in  1686,  and  until  1711;  resided  on  the  N.  side  of  Maine 
Street.     He  sold  the  land,  Ap.  23,  1712,  to  Thomas  Learned.     See  Learned,  below 


1076  APPENDIX   I. 

David  Church,  licensed  in  1687  and  '88.     [See  G.  Church,  on  the  map.] 
Thomas  Woolson,  1686,  and  until  1708;  supposed  to  reside  on  the  Sudbury  Road,

APPENDIX  IV. 


ILLUSTRATIONS  OF  THE  MAP  OF  THE  EARLY  TOPOGRAPHY 
OF  WATERTOWN  (PROPER). 

In  Sections  84  and  85,  pp.  1020  and  21,  are  pointed  out  some  of  the  difficulties  to 
be  encountered  in  attempting  a  plan  or  map  of  the  original  divisions  and  allotments 
of  land.  These  were  by  no  means  exaggerated.  But,  having  discovered  that  we 
had  fallen  into  one  or  more  important  errors,  regarding  early  localities,  through  the 
hastiness  of  our  conclusions  from  inadequate  premises,  we  were  induced  to  enter  upon 
a  more  thorough  investigation  in  order  to  rectify  them,  but  without  the  expectation 
of  succeeding  so  well,  or  proceeding  so  far,  that  the  result  could  be  offered  in  the 
form  of  a  map  of  ancient  Watertown.  The  success  of  the  intricate  and  perplexing 
labor  having  far  exceeded  our  expectation,  the  result  of  these  researches  is  here  pre- 
sented in  a  map,  with  some  explanations. 

As  no  record  of  that  period  gives  the  dimensions  of  a  lot,  but  only  the  quantity  of 
land,  and  that  "by  estimation/'  not  by  measurement,  all  that  is  attempted  in  the 
map,  is,  to  show  the  size  of  the  lots,  and  their  relations  to  each  other,  to  roads,  and 
to  the  natural  boundaries.  It  is  evident  that  the  estimation  of  the  quantity  of  land 
in  each  lot  was  not  always  accurate,  as,  in  many  instances,  the  same  lot,  in  different 
descriptions  or  records  of  it,  is  stated  to  contain  different  quantities  of  land.  If  their 
exact  outlines  could  be  discovered,  they  would  probably  exhibit  very  many  discre- 
pancies between  them  and  those  on  this  map.  This  is,  however,  of  comparatively 
small  importance,  if  their  size  and  position  are  determined.  That  such  is  the  case, 
generally,  with  few  and  unimportant  exceptions,  we  are  entirely  satisfied. 

In  the  course  of  the  following  explanations,  the  term  grant  is  applied  to  lots  where 
the  title  was  derived  directly  from  the  town,  not  by  purchase,  and  the  holder  was 
the  first  individual  owner.  The  term  ^>ossession  is  applied  to  lots  obtained  by  grant, 
purchase,  gift,  or  inheritance,  and  the  holder  of  it  was  not  always  the  first  owner.  In 
the  early  schedules  there  is  only  one  instance  of  a  lot  purchased  of  the  town,  and  that 
was  the  47  A.  lot  purchased  by  Mr.  Nathaniel  Biscoe,  the  rich  tanner.  In  later 
times,  there  are  many  instances  of  such  purchases. 

It  may  be  seen,  in  the  copy  of  the  original  records,  p.  995,  &c,  that  there  is  fre- 
quent mention  of  general  enclosures,  and  fencing  in  common.  The  same  may  be 
seen  in  the  succeeding  town  records,  and  it  was  many  years  before  they  were  discon- 
tinued. The  first  mention  of  general  enclosures  occurs  very  early  (Jan.  3,  1634-5), 
and  it  was  afterwards  (May  30,  1643)  ordered,  that  "a  fence  with  4  rails,  or  any 
fence  as  good,  is  counted  sufficient."  They  generally  had  distinct  names,  and  each 
was  surrounded  with  roads,  or  some  natural  boundary. 

Pond  Field  was  bounded  E.  by  Fresh  Pond;  W.  by  School  Street;  S.  by  Belmont 
Street ;  and  N.  probably  by  the  Road  to  the  Pond. 

Mead  field  was  bounded  S.  by  Belmont  St.;  E.  by  Common  St.  (Pequussct  Road); 
W.  by  Lexington  St.  (road  to  Concord).  It  was  probably  so  named  because  it  in- 
cluded Pequusset  Meadow. 


HISTORY    OF   WATERTOWN.  1083 

Bowman's  Field  was  bounded  N.  by  Belmont  St.;  S.  W.  by  Orchard  St.,  and  E. 
by  Bowman's  Lane.     These  names  indicate  the  respect  entertained  for  Mr.  Bowman. 

Jennison's  Close,  or  Field,  was  bounded  W.  by  Bowman's  Lane;  N.  by  Belmont 
St, ;  E.  by  School  St.;  S.  by  Mill  St.  (Mount  Auburn  St.).  Capt.  Jennison's  home- 
stall  was  much  larger  than  any  other  in  this  tract. 

How's  Field  was  bounded  S.  by  Sudbury  Road  (Main  St.);  W.  by  Lexington  St.; 
N.  by  Orchard  St.,  and  E.  by  Bowman's  Lane  and  Mill  St.  (Mount  Auburn  St.). 
Elder  Edward  How  was  the  largest  proprietor  in  this  tract.  It  included  the  east 
range  of  lots  in  the  Town  Plot. 

Pound  Field  was  bounded  N.  by  Mill  St.  (Mount  Auburn  St.);  S.  and  W.  by 
Bank  Lane ;  E.  by  Grove  St.  The  town  pound  was  anciently  in  it,  near  the  N.  E. 
corner.  About  1687,  the  pound  was  at  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Lexington  and  Belmont 
Streets. 

The  Hither  Plain  [see  §  91],  for  several  years,  had  a  general  enclosure,  and  the 
cartway  betwixt  lots  [Pleasant  St.]  was  not  a  fenced  road.  It  is,  indeed,  highly  pro- 
bable that  few,  if  any  of  the  lots,  in  the  Hither  and  Further  Plains,  were  ever  fenced 
according  to  the  original  allotments.  Early  and  frequent  changes  of  ownership  oc- 
curred, before  the  lots  began  to  have  distinct  fences,  and  two  or  more  lots  were  often 
consolidated  into  one. 

There  is  some  obscurity  about  the  ai-rangement  of  lots  in  Dorchester  Field,  and 
the  delineation  of  them  is  not  entirely  satisfactory.  It  probably  had  no  precise 
boundaries.  The  following  lots,  in  the  schedule  of  grants,  are  described  as  "  in  Dor- 
chester Field,"  viz.,  E.  Child,  10  A.;  J.  Loveran,  8  A. ;  W.  Jennison,  6  A.;  John 
Bernard,  G  A. ;  R.  Tucke,  2  A.  At  a  later  date,  the  large  homestall  of  John  Ben- 
jamin was  said  to  be  in  Dorchester  Field. 

There  is  a  small  tract  of  land  between  Dorchester  Field  and  the  homestall  of 
Nathaniel  Foote,  which  it  has  been  found  very  difficult  to  delineate,  according  to  the 
lines  or  divisions  of  the  original  grants,  owing  to  the  repeated  changes  of  ownership, 
and  the  defective  descriptions  of  boundaries.  Jeremiah  Norcross  was  not  a  grantee; 
but,  in  1643,  he  owned  a  homestall  of  26  A.  in  that  locality,  made  up  of  land  bought 
of  John  Page,  Robert  Tucke,  Richard  Amler,  and  Jacob  Logan  (?  Seger).  This 
land  of  Mr.  Norcross  included  the  14  A.  homestall  granted  to  Edmund  Mason,  and 
the  7  A.  homestall  granted  to  Robert  Tucke.  It  is  conjectured  that  Page  and  Am- 
ler bought  the  land  of  Mason,  and  sold  it  to  Norcross,  and  that  Seger  had  a  5  A.  lot, 
obtained  by  grant  or  purchase,  which  he  sold  to  Norcross,  and  which  would  complete 
the  26  A.  homestall.  Not  long  afterwards,  Mr.  Norcross  purchased  of  H.  Cuttris 
the  16  A.  homestall  granted  to  N.  Foote. 

There  are  a  few  instances,  in  the  schedules  of  grants,  where  the  same,  lot  appears 
to  have  been  granted  to  two  persons.  In  these  cases  it  is  probable  that  the  first 
grantee  relinquished  it  to  the  town,  exchanging  it  for  another,  or  perhaps  failed  to 
comply  with  the  terms  of  the  grant.  One  instance  of  this  is  the  lot  north  side  of 
Belmont  Street,  next  east  of  R.  Holden.  It  was  granted  to  Edmund  Sherman  (who 
left  Watertown  in  1637)  and  to  Bryan  Pendleton.  From  the  latter  it  passed  suc- 
cessively to  N.  Busby,  John  Stebbins,  J.  White,  J.  Coolidge,  and  Rev.  John  Sher- 
man, who  purchased  the  lots  of  J.  and  R.  Holden. 

We  have  not  attempted  to  delineate  all  the  lots  of  marsh  land.  In  most  instances, 
they  are  described  as  bounded  S.  or  S.  E.  by  the  river,  and  N.  or  N.  W.  by  Bank 
Lane,  with  the  omission  of  the  boundaries  on  the  other  two  sides.  As  these  lots 
were  not  residences,  it  is  the  less  interesting  to  determine  their  outlines  and  locali- 
ties. There  were  21  lots  of  marsh  granted,  amounting  to  62  J  acres.  The  largest 
lot  (10  A.)  was  that  of  Dea.  Ephraim  Child,  bounded  S.  E.  by  the  river,  and  N.  W. 
by  Bank  Lane.  It  was  probably  opposite  to  his  first  residence,  situated  at  the  south- 
west corner  of  Water  Street  and  Bank  Lane.  Two  lots  of  marsh  were  granted  to 
Elder  Richard  Brown.  The  first  (3  A.),  which  he  sold  early  to  Simon  Stone,  was 
opposite  to  his  first  homestall,  E.  of  Mount  Auburn,  which  he  sold  to  R.  Wellington. 


1084  APPENDIX  IV. 

There  were  three  2  A.  lots  of  marsh  between  the  homestall  of  Nathaniel  Foote 
and  the  river.  The  easternmost  was  that  granted  to  N.  Foote.  The  next  was  that 
of  John  Smith.  The  other  was  the  second  lot  granted  to  R.  Browne.  Pine  Marsh 
was  the  first  marsh  at  the  E.  or  S.  E.  of  Dorchester  Field.  Three  2  A.  lots  in  it 
were  granted  to  Robert  Lockwood,  .Nicholas  Knapp,  and  Thomas  Rogers.  Several 
of  the  marsh  lots  may  be  seen  delineated  on  the  map. 

It  has  been  stated  in  §  81,  that  Pequusset  Meadow  was  divided  into  numerous 
small  lots.  They  were  situated  in  a  range,  beginning  at  John  Flemming's  homestall, 
and  extending  north  to  Pequusset  Common,  in  the  following  order.  Those  marked 
(*)  denote  an  original  grantee.  *J.  Doggett,  2  A.,  sold  to  John  Flemming;  J.  Bisco, 
3  A.;  *J.  Lawrence,  2  A.;  *W.  Hammond,  3  A.;  *H.  Goldstone,  2  A.,  passed  to 
his  son-in-law,  Henry  Bright,  Jr.;  *N.  Bowman,  2  A.;  *Isaac  Cummings,  2  A., 
sold  to  Henry  Kemball,  Jr.;  T.  Boyden,  3  A. ;  *E.  James,  3  A. ;  *I.  Sterne,  2  A. ; 
*J.  Warren,  3  A.;  *J.  Simson,  2  A.,  passed  to  G.  Parkhurst,  who  m.  his  wid.,  and 
who  sold  it  to  W.  Hammond;  *H.  Bright,  Jr.,  2  A.,  sold  to  W.  Hammond;  N. 
Busby,  4  A.;  S.  Freeman;  S.  Eire. 

By  referring  to  §  27,  it  will  be  seen  that  some  locality  or  region,  at  the  east  of 
Mount  Auburn,  at  a  very  early  day,  was  called  •'  The  Town."  Whether  this  was 
applied  to  some  point,  or  what  was  its  extent,  the  records  do  not  show,  and  we  are 
left  to  conjecture.  The  tract  of  land  at  the  east,  north,  and  south  of  Mount  Auburn, 
was  undoubtedly  the  one  where  the  plantation  was  begun  in  the  summer  of  1630, 
and  it  is  conjectured  that  the  lot,  marked  G.  Phillips  on  the  map,  at  the  junction  of 
Cambridge  and  Water  Streets,  was  the  centre,  and  the  point  from  which  distances 
were  reckoned-  Sir  Richard  Saltonstall's  homestall  was  bounded  N.  W.  by  land  of 
Mr.  Phillips,  and  it  is  supposed  that  Mr.  Phillips's  lot  extended  northwestwardly  to 
the  junction  of  Cambridge  and  Water  Streets;  that  after  "the  new  meeting-house" 
was  built  near  the  Old  Graveyard,  Mr.  Phillips  sold  two  parcels  of  the  lot  to  Mr.  E. 
Angier  and  H.  Pelham,  Esq.  It  appears  by  the  schedules  of  possessions,  that  the 
lots  of  Pelham  and  Angier  were  purchases  and  not  grants,  and  that  in  the  list  of  Mr. 
Phillips's  grants  and  possessions  (in  the  same  schedule,  made  out  a  short  time  be- 
fore his  decease),  he  had  no  lot  bounded  S.  E.  by  land  of  Sir  Richard.  It  was  not 
unusual  for  lots  to  be  described  by  their  original  or  early  boundaries,  after  the  ad- 
joining lands  had  changed  owners;  and  thus  Sir  Richard's  lot,  after  it  ha'd  passed  to 
his  sou  Samuel,  was  described  as  bounded  N.  W.  by  G.  Phillips.  It  is  our  conjec- 
ture (supported  by  plausible  reasons,  but  without  positive  data),  that  the  first  house 
of  worship  was  built  on  that  lot,  at  the  junction  of  Cambridge  and  Water  Streets, 
on  the  map  marked  G.  Phillips;  and  that  if  any  burials  took  place  before  the  opening 
or  appropriation  of  the  Old  Graveyard,  they  would  be  in  that  lot  or  its  immediate 
neighborhood. 

By  consulting  the  map,  it  will  be  seen  that  a  great  portion  of  the  lots,  east  of 
Mount  Auburn,  were  not  held  by  grantees,  but  by  purchasers,  and  at  the  time  the 
schedules  were  made  out  (about  3643)  many  of  those  grantees,  whose  names  are 
marked  on  the  lots,  had  sold  them,  and  moved  to  other  larger  lots,  situated  farther 
west,  or  had  migrated  from  the  town.  R.  Seeley,  J.  Livermore,  R.  Feake,  A.  Ward, 
R.  Abbot,  and  B.  Windes,  had  moved  to  Connecticut;  A.  Shaw  to  Dedham;  Mr. 
Phillips,  R.  Browne,  A.  Browne,  J.  Firmin,  J.  Warren,  E.  Child,  I.  Sterne,  W. 
Hammond,  and  J.  Lawrence,  had  moved  to  other  lots,  which  may  be  seen  on  the 
map.  From  the  situation  of  the  homestall  lot  of  Leonard  Chester,  and  the  time  of 
his  arrival,  it  is  presumed  that  it  was  not  a  grant,  but  a  purchase;  and  it  may  have 
been  the  grant  made  either  to  John  Masters  or  Capt.  Patrick,  who  moved  to  Cam- 
bridge about  the  time  of  Mr.  Chester's  arrival.  It  will  be  seen  on  the  map  that  the 
lot,  marked  as  a  grant-  to  John  Hayward,  contained  24  acres.  This  is  so  much 
larger  than  any  other  grant  made  in  that  region,  that  it  seems  to  require  some  ex- 
planation. Our  presumption  is  that  a  part  of  the  24  A.  was  granted  to  him;  that 
he  purchased  one  or  two  other  contiguous  lots,  which  had  been  granted  to  those  who 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1085 

left  the  town  early,  and  that  then,  in  the  schedules,  as  in  the  case  of  J.  Norcross, 
the  whole  was  inserted  as  one  lot.  On  the  map  may  be  seen  two  lots,  on  Bank 
Lane,  near  Water  Street,  marked  Edward  Goffe,  who  was  a  purchaser  and  not 
a  grantee.  These  were  undoubtedly  grants  to  some  of  the  planters  of  1630,  and 
it  is  not  unlikely  that  one  of  them  was  made  to  W.  Jennison ;  for  his  large  50 
A.  homestall  was  among  lots  granted  at  a  later  date  than  the  time  of  his  settlement. 
The  lots  east  of  Mount  Auburn  are  sometimes  styled  Planting  Land,  and  there  is 
reason  to  believe  that  all  the  lands  in  this  region,  fit  for  planting,  were  granted  the 
first  year.  There  were  two  or  more  lots  granted  at  a  later  date,  as  those  of  Simon 
Stone  and  R.  Wellington  ;  but  these  were  among  the  rough  grounds  of  Mount  Auburn, 
and  were  unsuited  to  planting  or  tillage. 

The  tradition  is,  that  Mr.  George  Phillips  resided  in  a  house  opposite  to  the  Old 
Graveyard,  very  near  the  "  new  meeting-house,"  and  this  is  so  probable  and  plausible, 
that  his  supposed  dwelling  is  marked  on  the  map.  Yet  there  is  good  reason  to 
question  its  correctness. 

Mr.  Phillips's  homestall  in  the  Town  Plot,  at  the  corner  of  Orchard  and  Lexington 
Streets,  was  the  first  in  the  list  of  his  possessions;  in  that  schedule  of  grants,  which 
was  completed  a  short  time  before  his  decease.  In  other  instances,  almost  without 
exception,  a  man's  homestall,  where  he  resided,  is  placed  first  in  the  list  of  his  pos- 
sessions. It  is  also  to  be  observed  that,  if  he  lived  on  this  lot,  he  was  the  next 
neighbor  of  his  co-pastor,  Mr.  Knowles,  whose  homestall  was  on  the  other  side  of 
Orchard  Street,  and  it  was  only  half  a  mile  north  of  Mr.  Carter's  residence.  There 
is  no  doubt  but  that  the  widow  of  Mr.  Phillips,  and  his  son  Jonathan,  lived  on  this 
lot.  In  the  Inventory  of  Jonathan,  1704,  is,  \  the  dwelling-house  that  was  his 
father  Phillips.  If  Mr.  Phillips  moved  to  this  lot,  he  only  complied  with  the 
terms,  on  which  it  was  granted,  that  he  should  "  build  and  dwell  upon  it."  In  the 
next  place,  the  lot  of  Mr.  Phillips,  upon  the  Meeting-house  Common,  is  the  last  in 
the  list  of  his  grants,  and  it  is  not  called  a  homestall,  but  only  "  fifteen  acres  of 
upland." 

The  12  A.  homestall  of  Thomas  Mayhem,  may  be  seen  on  the  map,  near  the 
bridge.  May  6,  1654,  he  sold  this  (then  called  his  orchard,  containing  9  A.,  and 
occupied  by  John  Bush),  to  Nicholas  Davison,  of  Charlestown,  for  all  his  (D.'s) 
sheep,  cattle,  and  land  in  Martha's  Vineyard,  except  the  laud  (1000  A.)  which  he 
received  of  Mayhew  for  the  Oldham  Farm.  Nov.  8,  1655,  Davison  sold  this  May- 
hew  homestall  to  John  Fuller,  of  Cambridge,  for  £44.  Fuller  sold  it  to  Richard 
Sanger,  May  15,  1657,  for  £46.  From  Richard  Sanger,  it  passed  to  his  son  John; 
then  to  his  grandson  David ;  then  to  his  great  grandson  William ;  then  to  his  gr.  gr. 
grandson  Richard,  who  now  occupies  a  part  of  it.  A  part  of  it  was  formerly  the 
residence  of  Rev.  Dr.  Francis,  and  a  part  of  it  is  now  the  residence  of  Dr.  Hiram 
Hosmer. 

Mr.  John  Oldham  left  Watertown  and  died  before  any  schedule  of  grants  or  pos- 
sessions was  made  out,  and  his  name  is  not  found  in  them.  It  is  very  probable  that 
the  60  A.  homestall,  bought  by  John  Benjamin,  was  his  residence.  [See  p.  1037.] 
The  Wear  is  supposed  to  have  been  opposite  to  this  lot. 

Richard  and  Abraham  Browne  settled  on  adjoining  lots  on  Bank  Lane,  east  of 
Mount  Auburn,  but  they  both  moved  very  early  to  other  lots,  as  may  be  seen  on 
the  map.  Richard  very  early  sold  his  first  homestall  to  R.  Wellington,  and  his  ad- 
joining marsh  to  Simon  Stone;  John  Train  bought  his  last  homestall.  Abraham 
Browne  retained  his  first  homestall  and  adjoining  marsh,  until  after  the  summary 
of  possessions  was  made  out. 

In  the  Inventory  of  Abraham  Browne  [p.  fl25]>  his  homestead  was  reported  to 
contain  60  A.  Unless  there  was  a  mistake  in  the  estimate  of  the  quantity  of  his 
land  in  the  early  schedule,  his  homestead,  in  this  Inventory  (besides  the  40  A.  be- 
tween Main  St.  and  Pleasant  St.),  must  have  included  the  10  A.  on  the  S.  side  of 
Pleasant  St.,  granted  to  him  and  to  John  Browne,  and  10  additional  acres  contigu- 


1086  APPENDIX   IV. 

ous  thereto ;  for  the  additional  20  A.  to  the  ancient  homestall,  could  be  obtained  in 
no  other  direction  [see  §  94].  That  a  part  of  the  estate  was  on  the  S.  side  of  Plea- 
sant St.,  is  shown  by  the  following  mortgage.  Whether  this  was  the  grant  made  to 
John  Browne,  has  not  been  ascertained.  Ap.  13,  1G97  [soon  after  the  settle- 
ment of  the  estate],  Abraham  Browne  mortgaged  to  Caleb  Church,  6  A.  adjoining 
Dirty  Green,  bounded  E.  by  C.  Church  (the  owner  of  Dirty  Green)  ;  N.  by  high- 
way to  Beaver  Plain  ;  W.  by  Abraham  Browne ;  S.  by  Charles  River.  This  lot  of 
A.  B.  soon  passed  to  Edward  Goddard;  for,  on  the  22  Mar.  1705-6,  Caleb  Church 
mortgaged  "12  acres  of  pasture,  called  Dirty  Green,"  bounded  S.  and  E.  by  the 
river;  W.  by  Edward  Goddard;  N.  by  highway  (Pleasant  St.).  It  has  not  been 
ascertained  how  this  place  acquired  the  name  of  Dirty  Green,  and  Dirty  Place. 

Upon  the  final  settlement  of  the  estate  in  1694  [see  p.  "f  125J,  Capt.  Abraham 
Browne,  in  behalf  of  himself  and  other  heirs  of  his  father,  Jonathan,  bought  of  the 
other  heirs  their  rights  in  the  estate.  The  records  do  not  show  how  the  estate  was 
divided  among  the  heirs  of  Jonathan,  after  this  purchase;  but  some  information,  not 
very  exact,  is  derived  from  succeeding  transactions.  The  western  part  was  assigned 
to  Abraham,  the  eldest  son,  and  ex'r  of  Jonathan.  He  built  upon  it,  and  it  has 
never  ceased  to  be  owned  by  his  descendants.  The  eastern  and  larger  portion,  was 
assigned  to  the  widow,  Mary,  and  the  younger  sons.  A  large  part  of  this,  soon 
passed  out  of  the  possession  of  the  family,  but  was  recovered  after  the  lapse  of  about 
28  years,  and  held  in  the  family  until  about  1808. 

Mar.  30,  1703,  wid.  Mary,  and  her  sons,  William  and  Benjamin,  for  £192,  sold 
to  Samuel  Barnard  25  A.,  bounded  N.  by  Sudbury  Road,  and  land  of  Mary  Browne  ; 
W.  by  Mary  Browne,  and  partly  by  land  of  Serjt.  John  Fiske.  By  this  deed,  it 
appears  that  she  retained  some  of  the  land  assigned  to  her  and  her  younger  sons, 
and  a  subsequent  deed  shows  its  amount.  Mar.  13,  1705-6,  William  and  Benjamin 
B.,  sold  to  their  brother  Abraham,  9 J  A.,  bounded  N.  by  Sudbury  Road;  W.  by 
land  of  Abraham  Browne ;  E.  and  S.  by  Samuel  Barnard.  On  the  same  da}r, 
Abraham  signed  to  his  brothers  William  and  Benjamin,  a  quitclaim  of  his  right  in 
the  land  which  they  had  sold  to  Barnard.  By  a  deed  dated  Dec.  23,  1715,  Capt. 
Abraham  Browne  conveyed  to  his  son  Jonathan,  14  A.  "  in  easterly  part  of  my 
estate,"  bounded  E.  by  Samuel  Barnard ;  S.  by  S.  Barnard  and  John  Fiske ;  N.  by 
highway;  W.  by  Abraham  Browne.  Mar.  18,  1730-1,  James  Nutting,  of  Wren- 
tham,  gunsmith,  and  Mercy,  his  wife,  and  Esther  Barnard,  spinster  (both  daughters 
of  Samuel  Barnard),  for  £450,  sold  to  John  Browne  (youngest  son  of  Capt.  Abraham), 
house,  barn,  shop,  and  24  A.  land,  bounded  N.  by  highway ;  W.  by  Jonathan  and 
Samuel  Browne,  who  held,  by  deed  and  legacy,  that  western  portion,  which  their 
father  obtained  by  settlement  and  purchase.  The  next  day,  Mar.  19,  John  Browne 
sold  to  his  brother  Jonathan,  the  same  property  for  the  same  sum,  subject  to  a  mort- 
gage of  £220,  to  Jonathan  Nutting,  of  Wrentham.  After  this  mortgage  was  paid 
off  (as  it  was  done),  the  ancient  homestead  was  again  vested  in  the  Browne  family. 

Jonathan  Browne  (eldest  son  of  Capt.  Abraham),  in  the  lifetime  of  his  father, 
lived  in  the  ancient  mansion,  bequeathed  to  him  by  the  Will  of  his  father,  situated  on 
the  N.  side  of  Sudbury  Road,  nearly  opposite  to  the  house  of  his  father.  There  is 
little  doubt  but  that  he  lived  in  that  house,  until  after  the  removal  of' his  brother 
Samuel  to  Leicester,  so  that  all  his  children  were  born  in  it ;  and  it  is  very  probable 
that  it  was  his  permanent  residence.  If  he  moved  into  the  house,  built  and  occu- 
pied by  his  father,  he  could  have  resided  in  it  only  a  short  time,  as  not  long  after 
the  removal  of  his  brother  Samuel,  who  inherited  and  occupied  the  house,  it  was,  by 
his  son,  Jonathan,  Jr.,  mortgaged,  Jan.  12,  1747,  to  Capt.  Thomas  Homans,  who 
occupied  it  for  a  few  years.  This  ancient  house,  on  the  N.  side  of  Sudbury  Road, 
without  much  doubt,  was  built  and  occupied  by  the  first  Nathan  Fiske,  of  Water- 
town,  on  that  lot  in  the  Town  Plot,  which  he  bought  of  Robert  Feake.  From  him 
it  passed  to  his  son,  Serjt.  John  Fiske,  who  was  living  in  it  as  late  as  1703.  How 
or  when  it  came  into  the  possession  of  Capt.  Abraham  Browne,  has  not  been  ascer-

tainccl.  From  Jonathan,  Senior,  it  passed  to  Col.  William  Bond,  who  married  his 
youngest  daughter,  and  who  also  owned  that  part  of  the  ancient  Browne  home- 
stall,  which  was  also  bequeathed  by  Capt.  Abraham  to  his  son  Jonathan.  The 
western  part  of  it,  with  the  house  built  by  Capt.  Abraham  B.,  was  occupied  by 
Jonathan,  Jr.,  Esq.,  from  whom  it  passed  to  his  son,  Major  Adam  Browne. 

The  28  A.  homestall  of  Henry  Goldstone  passed  to  his  son-in-law,  Dea.  Henry 
Bright;  then  to  his  eldest  son,  Dea.  John  Bright,  who  died  without  issue,  and  it 
passed  to  his  second  son,  Nathaniel  Bright;  then  to  his  son,  Cornet  Henry  Bright; 
then  to  his  son-in-law,  Isaac  Sanderson;  and  Dec.  12,  1777,  it  was  divided  to  his 
sons,  Josiah  and  Henry  Sanderson. 

The  14  A.  homestall,  granted  to  Tliomas  Bartlett,  and  where  he  always  resided, 
passed  to  his  son-in-law,  John  Applin.  Previous  to  Ap.  1683,  Applin  had  sold  to 
Henry  Spring  the  eastern  part,  6f  A.  of  it,  and  on  June  8,  1697,  Spring  sold  this 
to  Jonas  Bond.  Ap.  3,  1683,  Applin  sold  to  John  Dix  the  west  part  of  it,  then 
called  10  acres.  Jan.  12,  1719-20,  John  Dix  sold  half  an  acre  of  this  to  Jonas 
Bond,  Sen. ;  and  July  5,  1732,  John  Dix,  of  Watertown,  and  Samuel  Dix,  of  Wor- 
cester, sold  the  remainder  of  it,  with  mansion  house,  barn,  and  orchard,  then  called 
8  A.,  to  Jonas  Bond,  Jr.,  for  £250,  current  money.  This  Bartlett  lot,  with  other 
lands  on  the  north,  was  the  homestead  of  Jonas  Bond,  Jr.,  Esq.  The  dwelling- 
house  stood  where  Mr.  Cushing  has  built  his  farm-house.  Sept.  8,  1695,  Jonas 
Bond  bought  of  William  Bull  and  wife  Elizabeth,  8  A.  [the  graut  to  Thomas 
Smith,  which  he  sold  to  William  Perry  in  1651],  "  near  the  hill  called  and  known 
by  the  name  of  Pigsgosuck,  and  is  bounded  east  by  Dea.  Sanderson ;  west  by  the 
highway  called  Pigsgosuck  highway  [Common  St.] ;  north  by  lands  of  Ellis  Bar- 
ron and  John  Chinery;  south  by  lancl  of  Joseph  Hastings."  This  land  of  Joseph 
Hastings,  was  the  Benjamin  Crispe  lot.  June  17,  1717,  Jonas  Bond,  Sen.,  bought 
of  Timothy  Barron  and  wife  Rachel,  12  A.  adjoining  the  last  purchase,  and  situated 
partly  on  the  W.  side  of  Common  Street.  A  short  time  before  this,  Barron  had 
purchased  this  land,  or  a  part  of  it,  of  his  father,  Ellis  Barron. 

The  lot  of  Dea.  Thomas  Hastings,  on  the  west  side  of  School  St.,  was  always  his 
residence.  He  added  to  it  by  purchase  the  lot  of  H.  Bright,  Sen.  This  home- 
stead, then  20  A.,  passed  to  his  youngest  son,  Samuel.  Mar.  15,  1727-8,  his  son 
Daniel  (?  David)  for  £300,  bills  of  credit,  sold  f  of  it  to  a  committee  of  the  town, 
for  a  ministerial  lot,  for  the  accommodation  of  Rev.  S.  Storer.  The  next  month 
(Ap.  1),  Joseph  Coolidge,  of  Cambridge,  guardian  of  Nathaniel,  the  youngest  son 
of  Samuel,  sold  the  other  3d  of  it  to  said  committee.  Oct.  18,  1755,  a  committee 
of  the  town  sold  this  lot  to  Samuel  Mason,  housewright,  of  Newton,  for  £288,  law- 
ful money.  This  was  the  next  year  after  building  the  meeting-house,  at  the  junc- 
tion of  Bowman's  Lane  and  Belmont  St.  The  town  bought  the  lot  (?  A.),  for  this 
meeting-house,  of  Nathaniel  Harris,  Esq.,  Jan.  29,  1754. 

John  Eiske  bought  the  W.  end  (6  A.)  of  the  Henry  Dow  lot,  next  south  of  Dea. 
T.  Hastings,  and  this  was  his  first  homestall,  which  he  sold,  Mar.  15,  1648-9,  to 
Charles  Stearns. 

Oct.  18,  1755,  a  committee  of  the  town  sold  to  Ebenezer  Stone,  "1?  A.,  formerly 
used  as  a  training-field,  bounded  N.  W.  by  Stone  (the  purchaser) ;  S.  by  road  [Bel- 
mont St.];  W.  by  David  Coolidge;  E.  by  lane  [Grove  St.],  leading  to  Mrs.  John 
Coolidge's  house."  It  was  on  the  training-place  that  the  Fairs  were  ordered  to  be 
held,  in  1639. 

The  lands  of  Elder  Edward  How  [see  map],  obtained  by  repeated  grants  and  pur- 
chase, passed  to  his  son-in-law  Nathaniel  Treadway.  Nov.  14,  1688,  N.  Tread  way, 
for  £140,  sold  this  land  (70  A.)  and  house,  to  his  son  Josiah.  Oct.  13.  1699, 
Josiah  Treadway  and  wife  Dorothy,  then  of  Charlestown,  for  £120,  sold  the  western 
half  of  this  land  (35  A.)  to  Samuel  Parris.  Mar.  3, 1703,  Parris  sold  it  to  Nathaniel 
Hobart,  of  Hingham.  Hobart  sold  it  to  Daniel  Stowall,  who  conveyed  it  back  to 
Hobart,  Feb.  6,  1707-8,  and  on  the  12  Jan.  1709-10,  Hobart  sold  it  to  Robert 


1088  APPENDIX  IV. 

Goddard  for  £230,  then  called  34  acres.  It  was  then  hounded  S.  hy  highway 
[Main  St.] ;  E.  by  Caleb  Church  and  Josiah  Treadway ;  W.  by  Samuel  Eddy, 
Elizabeth  Woodward  [wid.  of  George],  Caleb  Church,  and  Benjamin  Wellington; 
N.  by  B.  W.  and  S.  Eddy.  The  other  part  of  the  How  estate  (27  or  30  A.)  passed 
from  Josiah  to  his  son,  James  Treadway,  who,  on  Jan.  9,  1710-11,  sold  it  to  John 
Coolidge,  housewright.  It  was  bounded  S.  by  County  Road  (Main  St.) ;  W.  by  C. 
Church  and  R.  Goddard;  N.  by  R.  Goddard  and  S.  Eddy;  E.  by  County  Road 
(Mount  Auburn  St.),  and  Samuel  Eddy.  It  will  be  observed  that  this  was  not  the 
whole  of  the  east  half.  About  6  A.  had  been  sold  to  Caleb  Church,  probably  soon 
after  the  purchase  by  Josiah  Treadway.  Church  was  licensed  to  keep  a  tavern  in 
1686.  Ap.  25,  1712,  C.  Church,  millwright,  sold  this  land  (6  A.)  to  Thomas 
Learned,  where  he  and  his  family  kept  a  tavern  fifty  years  or  more.  The  Spring 
Hotel  has  been  built  on  that  lot. 

The  2  A.  lot,  bounded  S.  by  the  river,  N.  by  Mill  Creek,  and  extending  from 
the  bridge  to  the  dam,  was  a  grant  to  E.  How.  This  grant,  in  addition  to  what  is 
aaid  in  §  140,  is  an  additional  reason  for  believing  that  he  built  the  mill.  [See  p.  747.] 
In  1635,  20  A.  was  laid  out  "to  the  use  of  the  mill :"  it  was  not  a  grant  in  fee 
to  the  owner  of  the  mill.  The  town  still  held  it,  and  had  the  right  to  dispose  of  it, 
and  for  this  reason  Mr.  Dudley  is  not  named  among  the  proprietors.  In  1677,  the 
town  sold  a  small  part  of  it  to  Caleb  Church,  which  was  about  the  date  of  his  settle- 
ment in  Watertown.  July  7,  1752,  a  committee  of  the  town  sold  the  eastern  point 
of  this  land  (16  rods)  to  Nathaniel  Harris,  Esq. 

The  150  acres  granted  "  to  the  use  of  the  wear,"  was  by  the  Court  confirmed  to 
Mr.  Mayhew  in  1641  [§§  131-4],  but  it  was  not  included  in  the  list  of  his  posses- 
sions, and  it  has  not  been  ascertained  when  or  by  whom  it  first  began  to  be  occupied 
and  improved. 

The  records  do  not  show  who  was  the  original  grantee  of  the  20  A.  homestall  of 
John  Flemming.  His  heirs  sold  this  and  other  lands  to  Rev.  Roger  Nevinson. 
Mar.  4,  1677-8,  John  Nevinson,  son  and  att'y  of  Ptoger  Nevinson,  for  £160,  sold  to 
Nathaniel  Bright  this  homestall  (house  and  20  A.)  ;  also  two  lots  of  dividend  land, 
of  15  A.  and  50  A.  Ap.  2,  1651,  Flemming  bought  of  Thomas  Andrews,  of 
Camb.,  the  lot  at  the  N.  E.  corner  of  Lexington  and  Belmont  St.,  which  was  a  grant 
to  Edmund  James ;  but  probably  it  was  sold  before  the  decease  of  Flemming  to 
John  Bisco.  Flemming  also  bought  land  on  the  south  side  of  Belmont  St.,  nearly 
opposite  to  his  homestall,  which  his  wid.  and  ex'ors  sold  to  his  son-in-law,  John 
Barnard. 

It  is  probable  that  William  Hammond  settled  at  first  on  Cambridge  Road,  very 
near  the  Cambridge  line  [see  map].  Whether  this  was  a  grant  to  him,  the  records 
do  not  show.  He  sold  it  early  and  settled  on  his  40  A.  homestall,  situated  east  of 
Pequusset  meadow.  He  also  owned  three  small  lots  in  Pequusset  meadow,  one  of 
them  granted  to  him,  and  the  other  two  purchased.  This  homestall  passed  to  his 
son  Thomas.  The  Inventory  of  the  estate  of  T.  H.  by  John  Livermore  and  Ens. 
John  Sherman,  showed  that  it  did  not  equal  the  amount  of  his  debts,  and  the  estate 
was  assigned  to  John  Livermore  and  Steadman. 

On  the  29th  Sept.,  1663,  Edmund  Sherman,  clothworker,  of  Dedham,  Eng.  (for- 
merly of  Watertown),  by  his  attorney,  Rev.  John  Sherman,  his  brother,  brought  a 
suit  against  the  assignees  for  "two  broadcloths,"  adventured  and  sent  over  to  Thomas 
Hammond.  Verdict  for  the  plaintiff,  £40.  It  appears  by  the  will  of  Dea.  Henry 
Bright,  p.  105,  that  this  homestall,  with  the  adjoining  meadows,  was  put  into  the 
possession  of  Rev.  John  Sherman,  who  sold  them  to  Dea.  H.  Bright. 

John  Warren  first  settled  on  a  lot  on  Water  Street ;  but  he  sold  it,  and  moved 
early  to  a  lot  on  the  east  side  of  Lexington  Street,  next  to  that  of  Isaac  Sterne, 
where  he  resided  permanently.  The  N.  E.  corner  of  Belmont  and  Lexington  Streets 
formerly  was  called  Commodore's  Corner,  and  it  is  said  to  have  been  so  named  for 
Samuel  Warren,  who  lived  there,  and  was  called  The  Commodore. 


HISTORY   OF  WATERTOWN.  1089 

Isaac  Sterne  settled  first  upon  his  homestall  on  Cambridge  Road,  near  Cambridge 
Line.  But  he  moved  early  to  a  larger  homestall  on  the  east  side  of  Lexington  St., 
immediately  south  of  that  of  John  Warren,  where  he  resided  permanently.  It  passed 
to  his  son  Samuel,  then  to  his  grandson,  Nathaniel.  John  Firmin  settled  first,  as 
it  is  believed,  on  "Water  Street,  but  removed  early  to  his  land  on  Bank  Lane,  a  little 
distance  east  of  Dorchester  Field. 

The  locality  of  the  homestalls  of  Abraham  Shaw  and  William  Bridges  imply 
that  they  were  first  settlers,  but  they  sold  and  moved  away  so  early  that  the  schedules 
do  not  show  whether  they  were  granted  or  purchased. 

The  grant  of  a  homestall  to  John  Lawrence,  east  of  the  Fresh  Pond,  and  adjoining 
that  of  Robert  Seeley,  implies  that  he  was  a  first  settler;  but  he  settled  very  early 
on  a  lot  granted  to  him  on  the  west  side  of  Common  Street,  which  was  his  perma- 
nent residence,  until  he  moved  to  Groton,  except,  perhaps,  a  temporary  residence  in 
Boston. 

In  1643,  Capt.  John  Sherman  owned  two  homestalls,  both  obtained  by  purchase. 
The  arrangement  of  lots,  in  the  list  of  his  possessions,  implies  that  he  occupied  the 
lot  on  Bank  Lane,  which  had  been  granted  to  Thomas  Rogers.  But  it  is  more  pro- 
bable that  he  settled  at  first  on  his  homestall  on  the  east  side  of  Common  Street, 
immediately  south  of  Strawberry  Hill.  This  was  his  permanent  residence,  and  it 
passed  to  his  son  Joseph.  In  1643  it  consisted  of  the  two  lots  granted  Daniel  Morse 
and  Edmund  James,  and,  by  estimation,  contained  16 J  acres.  It  was  afterwards 
enlarged  by  purchasing  adjoining  lands,  and,  in  the  time  of  his  son  Joseph,  embraced 
the  lots  granted  to  John  Reynolds  and  I.  Mixer.  He  had  few  grants,  and  most  of 
his  early  possessions  were  grants  made  to  Thomas  Rogers. 

The  residence  of  Rev.  John  Sherman  was  the  Richard  Holden  lot  on  the  N.  side 
of  Belmont  Street.  He  next  purchased  the  Stebbin  lot,  on  the  east,  as  already 
stated.  In  1673,  Justinian  Holden,  then  of  Cambridge,  "  sold  to  John  Sherman, 
Pastor,  two  parcels  of  land  adjoining  or  adjacent  to  the  dwelling-house  of  Mr.  Sher- 
man." His  laud,  after  this  purchase,  nearly  surrounded  the  Pond  at  the  N.  E. 
corner  of  Belmont  and  Grove  Streets.  The  town  had  granted  Mr.  Sherman  the  use 
of  20  A.  on  Meeting-house  Common  for  firing. 

Concerning  the  residence  of  Thurston  Raynor,  Gregory  Stone,  Thomas  Boylston, 
and  John  Chinery,  see  those  names  in  the  Catalogue,  pp.  1005,  &c. 

The  lot  of  Christopher  Grant,  on  the  N.  side  of  Belmont  Street,  is  called  a  grant 
of  5  A.  in  the  schedule  of  grants ;  but  in  the  sale  of  it  to  G.  Church,  with  one  acre 
of  Pond,  it  is  stated  that  3  A.  were  granted  to  himself,  3  A.  to  L.  Waters,  and  the 
1  A.  of  Pond  granted  to  John  Griggs.  At  this  sale  it  was  bounded  W.  by  Mr. 
Sherman.  The  lot  of  0.  Calloio,  on  the  W.  side  of  School  Street,  passed  to  Wm. 
Williams,  then  to  his  widow,  then  to  her  son,  Abraham  Williams,  who  sold  it  to  R. 
Wellington.  The  Godfrey  lot  was  granted  to  Hugh  Mason,  who  probably  sold  it  to 
Godfrey  at  the  time  he  [M.]  purchased  his  large  homestall  on  the  E.  side  of  School 
Street.  Oct.  17,  1653,  William  Godfrey  sold  his  homestall  to  Robert  Sanderson 
[see  p.  257].  A  part  (6  A.)  of  the  16  A.  Parkhurst  lot  was  purchased  by  H.  Mason. 
This  6  A.  was  a  grant  to  E.  James.  The  21  A.  homestall  of  Capt.  II.  Mason  was 
his  permanent  residence,  and  he  purchased  a  part  of  the  H.  Dow  lot  (?  or  R.  Veazy 
lot),  on  the  other  side  of  the  street.  It  passed  to  his  son  Joseph;  then  to  his  grand- 
son, Dea.  Joseph,  Jr.,  Esq.;  then  probably  to  -his  gr.  grandson,  Nehemiah.  The 
Ellis  Barron  lot  (which  was  a  grant  to  Richard  Kemball)  was  the  residence  of  that 
family,  so  long  as  they  remained  in  town.  Ellis  Barron,  Jr.,  sold  it,  or  a  part  of  it, 
in  1707,  to  his  son  Timothy,  who  sold  it,  in  1717,  to  Jonas  Bond.  The  adjoining 
8  A.  homestall  lot  of  Thomas  Smith  was  bought  by  Wm.  Perry  about  the  time 
Smith  moved  within  the  present  limits  of  Waltham.     [See  Jonas  Bond  above.] 

The  7  A.  lot  of  Benjamin  Crispe  was  his  residence,  until  he  moved  to  Groton, 
soon  after  which  he  sold  it  to  Thomas  Boyden,  about  which  time  he  (B.)  returned 
to  Watertown.     The  4£  A.  lot,  at  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Belmont  and  School  Streets, 


1090  APPENDIX   IV. 

was  granted  to  John  Lawrence,  who  sold  it  about  1642,  to  Wm.  Page,  but  did  not 
execute  the  deed  until  Oct.  27,  1662,  when  he  was  about  to  move  to  Groton.  The 
7  A.  lot  next  south  of  it  was  granted  to  B.  Pendleton,  and  purchased  by  Wm.  Page. 
[This  lot  is  also  in  the  list  of  grants  made  to  J.  Sanson.]  The  next,  south  of  this, 
was  a  7  A.  homestall  lot,  purchased  by  Dea.  N.  Guy.  This  was  his  permanent 
residence.  The  3  A.  lot  of  upland  next  south  of  the  last  was  granted  to  N.  Guy. 
These  lots  passed  to  his  son-in-law,  Joseph  Tainter.  The  next  lot  south,  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Belmont  and  School  Streets,  was  granted  to  Thomas  Gakehread,  and  it  was 
purchased  by  John  Grout. 

On  the  W.  side  of  School  St.,  at  the  corner  of  Mt.  Auburn  St.,  was  the  13  A.  home- 
stall  granted  to  Ensigu  T.  Galcebreacl.  From  him  it  passed  to  John  Grout,  whose 
residence  it  was  until  he  moved  to  Sudbury.  Adjoining  this,  on  the  west,  was  the 
homestall  of  John  Bernard,  where  he  probably  always  resided.  The  west  half  of  it 
was  sold  by  him  to  Daniel  Smith  previous  to  1614,  and  afterwards  the  other  part  of 
it  was  sold  to  Smith.  After  the  decease  of  John  Bernard,  his  widow  probably  lived 
at  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Main  and  Howard  Streets,  on  the  Carter  lot. 

The  next,  north  of  these  lots  of  Bernard  and  Cakebread,  was  the  12  A.  lot  granted 
to  Richard  Browne,  from  whom  it  passed  to  George  Richardson,  and,  as  early  as 
1643,  to  John  Train,  who  resided  there  permanently.  May  12, 1709,  his  son  John 
and  his  grandson  John  mortgaged  this  lot  to  N.  Bright;  and  on  the  26  Jan.,  1710- 
11,  John  Train  sold  it  to  John  Stratton. 

The  next  lot,  on  the  north,  was  the  14  A.  homestall  granted  to  Bryan  Pendleton, 
who  resided  there  until  he  moved  to  .Sudbury.  He  probably  settled  first  in  "  the 
town,"  east  of  Mount  Auburn.  From  him  this  lot  passed  to  George  Munning;  then 
(when  Muuning  moved  to  Boston)  to  John  Sherman;  then  bought  back  by  Munning 
and  given  to  his  son-in-law,  John  Sawin. 

The  next  lot,  on  the  north,  was  the  12  A.  homestall  granted  to  John  Simson,  who 
d.  June,  1643.  It  then  passed  to  George  Parhhurst,  Sen,,  who  m.  Simson's  widow. 
After  Parkhurst  moved  to  Boston,  he  sold  6'  A.  to  John  Train,  and  6  A.  to  M. 
Bar  stow. 

The  next  lot  north,  at  the  S.  W.  corner  of  School  and  Belmont  St.,  was  the  14  A. 
homestall  granted  to  Richard  Carver.  After  his  decease,  it  passed  to  Michael  Bar- 
stow,  who  resided  there,  but  a  little  before  his  decease,  sold  it  to  John  Train.  For 
the  permanent  residence  of  John  Whitney,  Sen.,  see  pp.  1016  and  1036. 

About  1644,  Rev.  John  Knowles  bought  the  large  homestall  of  Capt.  W.  Jenni- 
son,  and  about  the  same  time  sold  his  homestall  at  the  junction  of  Orchard  and 
Belmont  Streets  to  Thomas  Strait.  Oct.  21,  1644,  Strait  sold  to  T.  Tarball  the 
western  part  (6  A.).  Ap.  8,  1644,  Strait  bought  of  George  Bullard  the  adjoining  8 
A.  lot.  Mar.  16,  1648-9,  he  sold  to  Thomas  Arnold  these  lands  (then  called 
20  A.)  purchased,  part  of  J.  Knowles,  part  of  G.  Bullard,  and  part  of  Thomas 
Wincoll.  Oct.  20,  1662,  T.  Arnold  and  wife  Phebe,  then  of  Providence,  sold  these 
lands  (or  a  part  of  them),  then  called  18  A.,  with  dwelling-house  and  barn,  to  John 
Wincoll.  It  is  stated  in  the  deed  that  a  part  was  granted  to  him  (T.  A.)  and  a  part 
purchased  of  T.  Strait.  On  the  S.  E.  corner  of  the  homestall  of  J.  Knowles  may  be 
seen  a  1  A.  lot  (marked  T.  A.)  granted  to  Arnold.  This  was  Arnold's  residence, 
and  was  included  in  his  sale  to  J.  Wincoll;  but  the  land  bought  by  Strait  of  Thomas 
Wincoll,  and  sold  to  Arnold,  was  not  included  in  this  sale  to  J.  Wincoll.  Oct.  27, 
1661,  T.  Arnold  and  wife  sold  to  John  Whitney,  Jr.,  his  land,  17  A.,  on  the  S.  W. 
side  of  Orchard  Street,  12  A.  of  which  (adjoining  Mrs.  Phillips) .had  been  granted, 
and  the  rest  was  that  portion  of  T.  Wincoll' s  lot  sold  to  him  by  T.  Strait.  At  this 
date  Richard  Whitney  owned  the  adjoining  land  on  the  S.  E.,  which  was  a  part  of 
the  T.  Wincoll  lot.  John  Whitney,  Jr.,  already  was  the  proprietor  of  the  lot  on 
Lexington  Street,  adjoining  that  of  Mrs.  Phillips. 

We  have,  in  another  place,  stated  the  probability,  that  what  is  now  called  White's 
Hill  was  the  ancient  Whitney  Hill,  as  John  Whitney  and  his  sons  were  settled  on 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1091 

three  sides  of  it.  This  is  not  disproved;  but  it  is,  perhaps,  quite  as  probable  that 
the  Whitney  Hill  referred  to,  in  determining  the  site  of  the  new  meeting-house 
[§  179],  was  some  smaller  elevation  in  the  Whitney  lands  that  was  less  remote  from 
the  site  of  the  meeting-house. 

The  16  A.  Pickeram  lots  were  bought,  Sept.  1,  1646,  by  Joshua  Stubbs,  who 
sold  them,  Nov.  28,  1654,  to  Joseph  Underwood. 

The  4.  A.  lot,  E.  of  J.  Knowles,  marked  M.  &  A.  B.  (Maudlin  and  Ann  Bidlard), 
was  probably  bought  by  R.  Jennison  about  1650.  The  6  A.  lot  of  IV.  Theale,  at 
the  east,  was  sold  in  1645  to  William  Shattuck.  June  7,  1650,  James  Cutler  sold 
the  same  lot  to  John  Randall  (probably  the  husband  of  wid.  Elizabeth,  p.  409). 
Nathaniel  Holland  and  Wm.  Price  not  long  afterwards  had  small  lots  in  this  neigh- 
borhood on  Belmont  Street.  Jan.  1658-9,  Richard  Smith,  bought  of  T.  Arnold  1 
A.  in  the  same  neighborhood. 

The  12  A.  homestall  of  T.  PhilbricA-,  N.  W.  corner  of  Belmont  and  Lexington 
Streets,  was  purchased,  Jan.  23,  1645-6,  by  Isaac  Sterne,  who  gave  it  to  his  son 
Samuel  [see  p.  455].  The  8  A.  homestall  next  west  of  this,  was  granted  to  John 
Stoicers,  and  occupied  by  him.  It  was  bought  by  Bartholomew  Pierson  in  1644,  and 
by  him  sold  to  George  Bullard,  Mar.  11,  1653-4.  This  was  probably  G.  Bullard's 
permanent  residence;  and  the  statement  [p.  148]  that  he  moved  to  Weston  in  1660 
is  a  mistake.  Jan.  29,  1703-4,  Samuel  Barnard,  housewright,  and  wife  Mercy,  sold 
this  lot  to  Capt.  Abraham  Brown,  then  called  14  A. ;  thus  enlarged,  by  an  addition 
either  of  some  of  the  land  granted  to  Peirce,  or  perhaps  by  a  purchase  of  land  on 
the  north.  This  was  long  known  as  The  Parsonage,  and  was  the  residence  of  Mr. 
Angier.  It  is  probable  that  this  property  was  purchased  and  held  by  Brown  (who 
had  been  several  years  town  treasurer),  as  agent,  trustee,  or  treasurer,  for  this  pur- 
pose, and  not  as  his  private  property.  If  held  as  his  personal  right,  there  is  no 
evidence  that  he  or  any  of  his  family  ever  resided  there.  After  the  removal  of  the 
Angier  meeting-house,  and  about  the  time  of  the  purchase  of  a  parsonage  for  Mr. 
Storer,  Capt.  A.  Brown  sold  it  to  John  Stearns. 

The  next  W.  of  Stowers,  was  a  4  A.  lot  granted  to  Anthony  Peirce.  The  next, 
W.  of  this,  was  a  6  A.  lot  granted  to  his  father,  John  Peirce,  who  sold  or  gave  this 
to  his  son  Anthony,  and  settled  on  two  lots  in  the  town  plot,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
road.  That  lot  granted  to  John  Peirce  is  described  as  bounded  W.  by  a  highway. 
This  was  probably  the  highway  ordered  to  be  laid  out  at  the  hither  end  of  the  Great 
Dividends  [see  p.  996].  It  would  be  nearly  continuous  with  the  road  on  the  W. 
side  of  the  Town  Plot;  but  it  was  probably  vacated  very  early,  if  it  was  ever  opened. 

Since  writing  §  98,  it  has  been  ascertained  that  the  tract  of  land,  there  described 
as  the  Town  Plot,  was  not  the  whole  of  it;  that  the  Town  Plot  also  embraced  that 
range  of  lots  on  the  E.  side  of  Lexington  Street,  extending  from  Orchard  to  Main 
Street.  The  remark  in  §  99,  respecting  the  lot  of  Mr.  Phillips,  is  therefore  inappro- 
priate. 

The  Town  Plot  on  the  east  side  of  Lexington  Street. 

The  first,  in  the  list  of  lots  in  the  Town  Plot,  was  the  12  A.  homestall  of  Mr. 
Phillips,  at  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Lexington  and  Orchard  Streets.  He  purchased  3 
A.  adjoining  this.  The  next,  south  of  it,  was  the  9  A.  (in  the  Town  Plot)  granted 
to  E.  How.  It  passed  to  John  Whitney,  Jr.  The  next,  south  of  this,  was  the  6  A. 
lot  granted  to  Edmund  James,  which  passed  to  Richard  Wait.  The  next,  south  of 
James,  was  a  3  A.  lot  purchased  by  S.  Freeman  ;  but  to  whom  granted,  the  records 
do  not  show.  The  next,  south  of  this,  was  the  3  A.  lot  granted  to  B.  Windes,  and 
by  him  sold  to  Richard  Benjamin.  The  next  S.  was  the  4  A.  lot  granted  to  William. 
Potter.  Richard  Woodward  bought  this  and  the  6  A.  adjoining  it  on  the  south,  and 
gave  or  sold  these  10  A.  to  his  son,  George  Woodward.  This  was  the  permanent 
residence  of  George  Woodward,  and  it  was  occupied  by  his  widow  and  family  many 
years  after  his  decease.  The  lot  next  S.  of  G.  Woodward,  at  the  N.  E.  corner  of 
Lexington  and  Main  Streets,  was  the  6  A.  granted  to  Edmund  Blois,  who  made  it 


1092  APPENDIX   IV. 

his  residence.    Some  time  afterwards  he  is  supposed  to  have  moved  to  a  lot  on  the  S. 
side  of  Mount  Auburn  Street,  a  little  W.  of  the  Old  Graveyard. 

Town  Plot,  west  side  of  Lexington  Street. 

Joseph  Tainter  owned  and  occupied  a  homestall  of  18  A.,  at  the  N.  W.  corner  of 
Main  and  Lexington  Streets.  It  was  made  up  of  lots  granted  to  Simon  Eire, 
Gregory  Taylor,  and  6  of  the  9  A.  granted  to  Capt.  Patrick.  This  homestall  passed 
to  his  son,  Simon  Tainter.  The  other  3  A.  of  Patrick's  lot,  was  bought  by  John 
Vahan  and  by  him  sold  to  E.  How.  Next  west  of  Patrick's,  was  the  9  A.  lot 
granted  to  R.  Fcalce.  It  was  purchased  by  Nathan  Fiske,  who  made  it  his  perma- 
nent residence.  It  passed  to  his  son  John,  who  lived  there,  perhaps  unmarried,  to 
advanced  age.  There  is  little  doubt  but  that  this  is  the  lot  which  passed  from  Capt. 
Abraham  Browne  to  his  son  Jonathan,  and  that  it  was  the  residence  of  the  late  Col. 
Willam  Bond,  who  married  a  daughter  of  this  Jonathan  Browne.  It  is  very 
probable  that  the  house  occupied  by  Col.  Wm.  Bond,  was  built  by  the  first  Nathan 
Fiske.  It  was  very  ancient,  and  was  removed  more  than  40  years  ago.  Sudbury 
Boad,  at  this  point,  anciently,  ran  four  rods  farther  south  than  it  has  done  for  the 
last  150  years.  In  Ap.  1703,  Abraham  Browne  having  petitioned  to  have  4  rods 
land  on  the  Common  near  his  house,  the  committee  made  return,  July  5,  1703,  that 
they  had  laid  out  4  rods  southerly  side  of  the  hill,*  between  Broicne's  and  the  present 
house  of  Serjt.  John  Fiske  [son  and  ex'r  of  Nathan],  and  have  set  out  [to  John 
Piske]  the  same  quantity  of  Browne's  land,  on  the  south  side  of  his  homestall  next  the 
highicay  leading  to  Beaver  Brook.  It  appears  by  a  deed  of  wid.  Mary  Browne,  and 
her  son  Benjamin,  that  Serjt.  John  Fiske  owned  land  on  the  south  side,  and  con- 
tiguous to  the  Browne  homestall.  It  is  also  to  be  observed  that  this  old  mansion  of 
Col.  Bond,  stood  almost  in  the  road,  with  no  space  between  them,  but  that  the  old 
part  of  the  Browne  mansion,  stood  several  (6  or  7)  rods  from  the  road,  and  that 
after  Capt.  A.  Browne  built  the  new  part  towards  the  road,  there  was  still  a  con- 
siderable space  between  it  and  the  road.  [See  Abraham  Browne,  p.  108G]. 

The  next  west  of  Nat  ban  Fiske,  was  the  6  A.  homestall  granted  to  Dea.  Thomas 
Hastings.  About  1643,  he  gave  this  to  his  servant,  Robert  Harrington,  and  on  the 
4  Mar.,  1656-7,  he  executed  a  deed  in  full,  Harrington  having  built  upon  and  im- 
proved it.  Although  Harrington  lived  to  great  age,  and  acquired  numerous  and 
large  possessions,  it  is  probable  that  this  was  his  permanent  residence,  and  that  it 
passed  to  his  youngest  son,  Edward,  and  afterwards  to  his  grandson  Capt.  Edward 
Harrington. 

The  next  west  of  Harrington,  was  the  6  A.  homestall  of  Thomas  Flagg,  and  it 
was  probably  his  permanent  residence.  He  was  not  the  original  grantee  of  it,  nor 
do  the  records  show  to  whom  it  was  granted. 

Next  west  of  Flagg  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  John  Sherman,  and  bought  by  E. 
How.  There  is  some  obscurity  in  regard  to  the  lots  between  those  of  Sherman  and 
Coolidge,  and  we  cannot  make  the  map,  at  this  point,  satisfactory.  Sherman's  lot 
was  bounded  W.  by  Jonas  Eaton,  a  grantee  of  3  A.  in  the  Town  Plot.  Wid. 
Frances  Onge  was  grantee  of  6  A.  in  the  Town  Plot,  and  her  son,  Simon,  was  after- 
wards owner  of  6  A.,  which  was  bounded  E.  by  Jonas  Eaton,  W.  by  William  Seger 
[?  Hager].  This  is  the  only  mention  of  Wm.  Seger  in  the  records.  The  6  A.  lot 
of  J.  Coolidge  was  bounded  E.  by  Jonas  Eaton.  As  this  lot  is  not  in  the  summary 
of  Coolidge's  grants  and  possessions,  in  1644,  perhaps  it  will  be  discovered  that  he 
sold  it  to  William  Hager,  who  married  and  settled  in  Watertown  about  this  time, 
and  that  this  was  the  ancient  Hager  residence. 

Next  west  of  this,  was  the  6  A.  lot,  with  a  pond  of  1  acre,  granted  to  Abraham 
Browne.     He  probably  sold  the  land,  or  a  part  of  it,  to  Edmund  Blois. 

*  This  ancient  Fiske  mansion,  with  rooms  on  both  sides  of  the  entrance,  was  two  storied  in  front;  but  the  hill 
in  the  rear,  towards  the  north,  rose  so  abruptly,  that  the  garret  floor  of  a  wing  of  the  house,  extended  in  that 
direction,  was  on  a  level  with  the  ground.  As  an  apology  to  the  reader  for  this  particularity,  it  may  be  stated 
that  the  author  was  born  in  that  remnant  of  early  Puritan  architecture. 

Recent  researches  render  it  not  improbable  that  John  Kiske  [11,  p.  210],  was  a  son  of  Nathan  [3,  p.  214];  but 
at  present  we  have  not  data  to  determine  the  question. 


HISTORY   OF   WATERTOWN.  1093 

The  21  A.  homestall  of  Samuel  Freeman,  where  he  resided,  was  at  the  S.  W. 
corner  of  Lexington  and  Warren  Streets.  It  was  made  up  of  the  6  A.  granted  to 
Samuel  Hosier,  6  A.  granted  to  Charles  Chadwick,  6  A.,  grantee  not  ascertained 
(probably  John  Thomson,  who  sold  it  to  W.  Clarke,  and  by  Clarke  sold  to  Freeman), 
and  3  A.  of  the  9  A.  lot  granted  to  Richard  Browne.  This  lot  of  R.  B.  is  described 
as  bounded  E.  by  William  Clarke.  This  homestall  of  S.  Freeman  passed  to  his 
son  Henry.  The  other  6  A.  granted  to  R.  Browne,  was  purchased  by  Richard  Gale, 
and  was  his  residence.     N.B.  On  the  map,  C.  C.'s  lot  should  be  next  to  S.  H. 

Next  west,  was  the  12  A.  homestall  of  Joseph  Bemis,  where  he  resided  perma- 
nently. It  was  made  up  of  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  John  Firmin,  and  the  6  A.  lot 
granted  to  Simon  Stone.  It  passed  to  his  son  John,  and  probably  to  his  grandson 
Jonathan. 

Next  west  of  Bemis,  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  Nicholas  Busby  ;  and  next  west 
of  this  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  Isaac  Mixer.  Next  west  of  Mixer,  and  bounded 
W.  by  the  highway,  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  Daniel  Peirce,  and  purchased  by 
John  Prescott. 

The  6  A.  lot  at  the  N.  W.  corner  of  Lexington  and  Warren  Streets,  was  granted 
to  John  Dogget,  and  from  him  passed  to  Richard  Wait,  who  resided  there.  The 
next  west  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  John  Woolcott  or  his  widow  Winifred,  from 
whom  it  passed  to  Edmund  White,  and  afterwards  to  Samuel  Thatcher.  The  next 
west  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  Edmund  James,  from  whom  it  passed  to  Nicholas 
Theale,  who  resided  there;  (?)  sold  by  George  Parkhurst  to  R.  Wait,  Ap.  6,  1652. 
Next  west,  was  the  6  A.  granted  to  R.  Kemball,  sold  to  Richard  Beach.  Next  west 
was  a  lot  of  George  Parkhurst,  the  size  and  the  grantee  of  it  not  ascertained.  Dec.  8, 
1649,  Joseph  Underwood  sold  it  to  John  Bigelow.  The  next  west  was  the  6  A.  lot 
granted  to  Henry  Bright,  Jr.,  from  whom  it  passed  to  John  Bigelow.  This  was  the 
first  and  the  permanent  residence  of  the  ancestor  of  all  the  Bigelows  in  this  coun- 
try. Next  west  was  the  6  A.  homestall  of  Miles  Ices,  grantee  not  ascertained. 
This  is  supposed  to  have  been  his  permanent  residence.  The  next  west,  bounded  on 
the  W.  by  the  highway,  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  Edward  Garfield.  It  was  his 
residence. 

The  6  A.  lot  at  the  S.  W.  corner  of  Lexington  and  Belmont  Streets,  is  in  the 
list  of  grants  to  John  Whitney.  It  was  probably  granted  after  the  other  lots  in  the 
Town  Plot  had  been  granted,  and  the  list  made  out  and  recorded,  as  his  name  is  not 
on  that  list,  and  the  adjoining  lot  was  described  as  bounded  E.  by  the  Common. 
This  lot  passed  to  his  son,  John  Whitney,  Jr.,  who  did  not  reside  upon  it,  but  upon 
a  lot  on  the  E.  side  of  Lexington  St.,  adjoining  the  land  of  Mr.  Phillips.  The  next 
west,  was  the  6  A.  homestall  of  Bartholomew'  Pierson.  He  was  not  the  grantee, 
and  it  is  conjectured  that  it  was  a  grant  to  J.  Stowers.  Pierson  sold  this  lot  with 
a  house  to  Anthony  Peirce,  Oct.  7,  1655,  for  £28.  About  this  time  Pierson  moved 
to  Woburn.  The  next  W.  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  John  Smith,  Senior,  and  by 
him  sold  to  John  Peirce.  The  next  W.  was  the  6  A.  lot  granted  to  W.  Barsham  and  by 
him  sold  to  John  Peirce.  These  two  lots  constituted  the  homestall,  where  it  is  sup- 
posed that  he  resided  permanently.  The  next  W.  was  the  6  A.  granted  to  David 
Fiskc,  and  was  the  homestall  of  William  Parker.  Next  W.  is  the  6  A.  lot  granted 
to  Richard  Beers,  passed  to  Richard  Amler,  where  he  resided,  then  called  7  A. 
The  next  W.,  bounded  W.  and  N.  by  highway,  was  the  8  A.  lot  of  upland  granted 
to  Thomas  Arnold.  Like  that  of  John  Whitney,  it  is  not  in  the  recorded  list  of 
lots  granted  in  the  Town  Plot.  This  is  the  lot  that  was  seized  to  pay  the  fine  im- 
posed for  his  not  attending  public  worship.     It  was  purchased  by  (?)  Miles  Ives. 

The  2  A.  lot  of  John  Spring,  at  the  corner  of  Orchard  St.  and  Bowman's  Lane, 
was  his  permanent  residence,  and  passed  to  his  son  Henry. 

Dec.  13,  1649,  James  Cutler,  Sen.,  and  Nathaniel  Bowman,  for  £70,  bought  of 
Edward  Goffe  200  A.  in  Cambridge,  adjoining  Rock  Meadow,  and  near,  or  adjoining 
to  Watertown  [Waltham]  line,  payable  in  instalments  of  £10  annually,  in  goods; 
payments  secured  by  mortgage.     It  was  bounded  E.  by  land  of  N.  Bisco.     Mar.  4, 


1094  APPENDIX   IV. 

1650-1,  Cutler  sold  his  share  (100  A.)  to  Bowman  for  £39.  It  is  probable  that 
Cutler  and  Bowman  moved  from  Watertown  about  this  date.     [See  pp.  88  and  189.] 

The  5  A.  lot  at  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Belmont  St.  and  Bowman's  Lane  was  the 
residence  of  John  Bisco,  in  1643.  The  6  A.  homestall  lot  of  Benjamin  Bullard, 
near  the  N.  "W.  point  of  Fresh  Pond,  probably  belonged  to  his  father,  Robert  Bullard, 
whose  wid.,  Anna,  m.  N.  Theale.  The  6  A.  homestall,  where  N.  Theale  resided  in 
1644,  in  Bowman's  Field,  had  probably  belonged  to  R.  Bullard.  John  Coolidye 
settled  first  on  the  Camb.  line  a  little  W.  of  Fresh  Pond,  and  probably  always 
resided  there.  Richard  Kimball's  residence  was  at  the  E.  of  Fresh  Pond.  That  of 
Henry  Kimball,  Sen.,  was  on  his  lot  adjoining  that  of  N.  Bowman.  Joseph  Morse 
settled  first  on  the  S.  side  of  Orchard  St.,  and  in  1640  exchanged  it  for  the  18  A. 
lot,  E.  side  of  Pequusset  Common. 

The  preceding  explanations  apply  exclusively  to  what  were  called  the  Small  Lots 
[§  81],  and  they  illustrate,  in  part,  what  was  said  in  §  84  and  §  85,  about  the  multi- 
tude of  lots  and  the  frequent  change  of  ownership.  In  further  illustration  of  the 
multiplicity  of  lots,  we  would  refer  to  the  lots  in  the  Great  Dividends,  in  the  Beaver 
Brook  plowlauds,  the  lieu  of  township  lots,  the  lots  in  the  West  Pine  and  other 
meadows,  and  the  Farms.  [See  pp.  1021-28.] 

The  changes  of  ownership  were  in  many  instances  wholesale.  All  the  lots 
granted  to  Gregory  Stone,  and  his  purchased  homestall,  were  purchased  for  Thomas 
Boylston.  The  7  lots  granted  to  John  Bachelor,  and  the  6  lots  granted  to 
Robert  Tucke,  were  all  purchased  by  Jeremiah  Norcross.  These  were  not  all  of 
N.'s  purchases.  All  the  lots  of  Peter  Noyes  were  purchased  of  Bryan  Pendleton. 
The  numerous  lots  granted  to  Thomas  Cakebread  passed  to  John  Grout.  The 
numerous  lots  of  Nicholas  Knapp  and  of  Robert  Lockwood,  were  bought  by  B: 
Pendleton,  after  he  returned  from  Sudbury,  and  by  him  they  were  sold  to  Robert 
Daniel.  After  his  decease,  they  passed  to  his  son  Samuel  Daniel,  who  sold  to  his 
brother-in-law,  Thomas  Fanning,  what  had  been  the  homestalls  of  his  father,  of 
Robert  Lockwood,  and  of  Nicholas  Knapp.  All  the  lots  held  by  Thomas  Andrews, 
were  grants  to  Edmund  James.  All  the  lots  which  Thomas  Philbrick  retained 
until  his  removal  to  Hampton,  were  purchased  by  Isaac  Sterne.  John  Ellet  sold 
his  house  and  5  lots  to  Thomas  Wincoll.  Edward  Lamb  sold  most  of  the  lots 
granted  to  him,  to  Charles  Stearns.  Most  of  the  lands  granted  to  John  Simson  passed 
to  George  Parkhurst,  who  married  his  widow.  All  the  lots  of  John  Firmiu  (with 
the  exception  of  his  first  homestall  in  "  the  town,"  sold  to  Henry  Bright,  Jr.,  and 
his  lot  in  the  Town  Plot,  sold  to  Joseph  Bemis),  were  by  his  heirs  sold  to  Barnabas 
Farr,  of  Boston,  and  by  Farr  sold  to  Richard  Beers.  The  2  lots  granted  to 
Nathaniel  Foote,  were  bought  by  Henry  Cuttris,  and  by  him  sold  to  Jeremiah  Nor- 
cross. The  4  lots  granted  to  Robert  Abbot,  were  sold  to  Roger  Wellington.  John 
Stowers  sold  to  Thomas  Hammond,  at  one  time,  a  dwelling  and  18  lots  of  land.  He 
had  previously  sold  some  lots,  and  he  still  held  a  130  A.  farm.  In  addition  to  the 
lots  granted  to  John  Woolcot  and  his  widow,  he  purchased  the  5  lots  of  Philip 
Tabor,  some,  if  not  all,  of  the  lots  of  Abraham  Shaw,  and  one  or  more  lots 
granted  to  John  Tucker ;  and  from  his  widow,  Winifred,  most  of  them  passed  to 
Edmund  White,  of  London,  and  by  David  Yale,  his  attorney,  they  were  sold  to 
Samuel  Thatcher.  8  lots  were  granted  to  John  Gosse,  and  all  of  them  that  he  re- 
tained until  his  decease,  were  by  his  heirs  sold  to  Samuel  Stratton.  John  Knight, 
from  Sudbury,  owned  15  lots  in  1643,  all  obtained  by  purchase  or  exchange,  except 
one  farm  of  287  A.,  ten  of  which  lots  he  sold  to  Thomas  Underwood,  at  the  time 
Underwood  moved  from  Dorchester  to  Watertown.  The  9  lots  granted  to  Henry 
Goldstone,  and  the  4  lots  purchased  by  him,  all,  so  far  as  ascertained,  passed  to  his 
son-in-law,  Dea.  Henry  Bright.
